How to Merge Video Files Together in Windows 10
Have you ever been out traveling with a group of friends, and you were so excited to take all kinds of videos that you wanted to share with your friends on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter? However, there are so many videos that sharing them at a time might not be a particularly good choice, and you don't want to give up any one of them you've worked so hard to shoot. In fact, there is a good solution, which is to combine your video files into one. At this point, you may have another trouble: how to merge multiple video files together? Don't worry, please read down patiently, I’ll show you how to merge video files together in windows 10.
What to Consider When Merging Video Files
First of all, in order to make your video merger efficiently, you need to take the following points into consideration before combining video clips.
Create a Storyboard First
Make a storyboard to plan the sequence of your video files. Since you need to merge several videos at the same time, creating a storyboard will make your videos more logical and connect more smoothly.
Dimensions
Consider the platform on which you will publish the final video to determine the size of the video you will edit. In general, it's best to shoot videos in the landscape mode. Horizontal video works well on most social media and platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo. So, think about the size of your video before you post it and adjust your camera settings beforehand. Of course, you can also use the video clip tools to change the size of the video. Take VideoSolo Video Converter Ultimate for example, it has the ability to resize videos and convert the video format directly to an output platform-compatible format.
Quality
Pay attention to the video quality when combining the video files together. If one clip has a low resolution, before continuing, you need to lower the resolution in your project settings. If you have no idea about how to improve the quality of your video, you can also use the “Video Enhancer” function of Video Converter Ultimate to improve your video quality.
Trimming and Cutting
Use trimming and cutting tools to trim your videos. For every clip you want won't be perfect from start to finish, you'll need to use trimming and cutting tools to make your transitions seamless. VideoSolo Video Converter Ultimate can also satisfy your need to trim and cut, you just need to click on the "Video Trimmer" option.
Color Correction
Keep the color of the video merger the same. Because many videos are shot in different locations, the overall lighting effect may be different. This requires you to adjust the color temperature of your videos to keep them consistent while merging them. Therefore, just download the VideoSolo, and the function of "Color Correction" can help you to correct the color of your video files.
The Best Way to Combine Video Files Together
