It is common for movie producers to merge several clips to produce the movie they want. This is because it is unlikely that you will shoot the footage right on the first attempt. You probably would wander around with your camcorder to film random scenery. After filming, you combine the best clips with a video editor. The following are four ways to incorporate videos on your PC.
Online Video Joiner Tool
Many websites offer free merge video services if you search for video joiners online. The online video joiner tool can be used to combine multiple clips. Before using it, check the page for information on its accepted formats. Usually, it will be listed on the video joiner tool page. If not, upload the video. If the form is not recognized, it will display an error when you attempt to upload it.
Using the online video joiner tool, you must not try to merge too many video clips, as the browser may hang. Once the merging process is completed, download the linked video to your computer and playback it on the media player to ensure the videos are correctly connected. There is a cap on the video size you can upload, for example, 100 MB. They may also restrict the times you can access the tool to merge your video clips for free.
Desktop Video Editor
If you need to merge videos for commercial purposes, you should get a paid desktop video editor. The free video editor has limited features, making it difficult to edit your video. Due to the limited access to the elements, you may feel that using the software to merge your videos is not nice. The free video editor will also put a watermark; everyone will know what software you use to connect your videos. The video should not have other people’s watermarks to give customers a professional impression.
It should only have your brand logo watermark to let people know you created the video. With a paid video editor, clips will load fast into the timeline without lagging. You can use the video merger to merge as many videos as you want, regardless of their file sizes. Many paid video editors also have a user-friendly interface for beginners. They do not have a complex interface as in open source video editors like Handbrake. To make it even easier for beginners to use, they have provided online step-by-step tutorials on each software feature.
Windows Live Movie Maker
Window Live Movie Maker can merge videos on Windows XP – Windows 8 computers. You mustn’t download the software on unofficial websites as it may spread malware and viruses to your computer. However, you can still download it from software sites like FileHippo and CNET. When you launch Windows Live Movie Maker, click the Add Videos and Photos button and select the videos you want to merge. After the videos are added to the timeline, you can drag them and change the sequence. Finally, you save the video.
Windows Media Player
You can also use Windows Media Player to combine videos, but you must install the Windows Media video clip joiner program to get it to work. The Windows Media Joiner program can be downloaded for free from CNET. Next, click the shortcut icon to launch the Windows Media video clip joiner program. Go to File > Add File and select the videos you want to merge. After selecting all your videos, you can press the Combine button to incorporate all the clips into a single video.
