How to merge videos online
Step 1. Import videos or select stock footage
To import videos, photos, and GIFs, click on the import media button in the your media tab on the toolbar to browse computer files, or connect OneDrive.
You can also use free stock media like video clips, photos, video backgrounds, and GIFs. Click on the content library tab on the toolbar and click on the visuals drop down arrow, then videos, photos, or backgrounds. Search through the different stock categories using the search bar as well.
Drag and drop video clips onto the timeline side by side. Placing media next to each other on the timeline automatically combines multiple clips to form one video.
Step 2. Trim the length of video clips
To trim the length of videos, click on the video on the timeline so it’s highlighted. Next, move the trim handles to the left of the timeline to trim the video length. To trim multiple assets at once, hold down the shift key (Windows) or command key (MacBook) on your keyboard, then click each asset on the timeline and move the handles to trim.
If blank spaces appear on the timeline after trimming, the videos may not appear to be combined anymore. Use the gap removal feature to merge videos together by clicking on the delete this gap option.
Step 3. Add special effects to merged videos
Place transitions between each clip to add extra personality to merged videos. Click on the transitions tab on the toolbar, then drag and drop a transition onto the timeline between two clips.
Add sound effects to transitions to make videos dynamic and engaging. Click on the content library tab on the toolbar and click on the audio drop down arrow, then sound effects and select the transitions category. Drag and drop a sound effect onto the timeline at the same timestamp as the video transition.
Apply a video filter to all video clips using the multi-item editing feature. Hold down the shift key (Windows) or command key (MacBook) on your keyboard, then click each asset on the timeline you would like to add a filter to. Click on the filters tab on the property panel, then click on a filter to apply. Adjust the strength of the filter by dragging the intensity slider left or right.
Step 4. Preview and save merged video
Before saving the merged video, make sure to preview using the full screen mode. When ready to save, click on the export button, then select a video resolution to continue.
