Why you might want to merge videos
Video usage has never been higher. More individuals are using videos both in their personal and professional lives. There are plenty of options available that allow you to merge video clips together, but many of these require video editing skills, technical expertise, or expensive software. This is time-consuming and inefficient, especially if you’re using video for business and recording or sending multiple videos out a day!
If you’re looking for a simple and quick solution to merge videos, then using a tool like Covideo is a great option. It allows you to make this edit in seconds.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the value of Covideo for recording, merging, and sending videos. We’ll also cover some alternative solutions on how to merge videos together.
Let's dive in!
Finding the right video merge option for you
Figuring out how to combine videos together can be a headache. Depending on the type of computer or device you’re using, it may take time to locate an easy video merger application.
On Mac computers, you can access the video editing application iMovie, which includes the ability to merge multiple video clips together. However, it’s not always user friendly, and it’s hard to navigate on mobile.
More robust editing software like Final Cut or Premier Pro can combine videos and so much more, but they are expensive and have a steep learning curve.
Then, there’s always the option of Googling a free online application for merging videos, but you run the risk of accessing a poor-quality program. These platforms often reduce your video quality and can lead to viruses if you aren’t careful.
Look for software that is versatile and can do more than just merge videos but is not more complex than you need. Remember, you will likely need an application or host to share your merged videos. If you thought learning how to merge videos together was hard, sending a video is even harder, unless you get a video merger software that does it all!
