Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How to combine videos?

You can combine videos by using editing software or a free online tool. Here’s how you typically do it:

  1. Choose a video editor – this can be a simple tool like iMovie or a more advanced platform like Riverside.
  2. Upload your media files – import all the video clips you want to combine into the project.
  3. Arrange the clips on the timeline – drag and drop them in the correct order.
  4. Trim or adjust each clip – cut off unwanted parts or refine the pacing.
  5. Add transitions (optional) – insert fades, cuts, or other transitions between clips.
  6. Apply enhancements (optional)
    • With basic tools like iMovie, you can perform simple trims and basic adjustments.
    • With advanced tools like Riverside, you can add transitions, apply AI-powered cuts or b-roll, and even repurpose your merged videos using features like Magic Clips.

Export the final video – save or export the combined result as one file.

What are the best video mergers?

While the best video merger is Riverside, other notable mentions are Adobe, and Movavi. 

Most tools have basic functions like:

  • simple interfaces to drag and drop your files
  • basic editing features
  • export the final merged video in various formats

They are suitable for beginners, and you can even stitch your videos together on the go using their mobile apps.

Then there is Riverside, the top all-in-one solution.

  • It intelligently analyzes your merged videos and creates separate audio tracks for each speaker. 
  • It supports 4K video without watermarks and uncompressed 48kHz audio. 
  • If that wasn’t enough, Riverside’s AI-powered editing enhances your merged clips with video highlights.

Can I merge two videos on an iPhone or Android?

Yes. You can append two videos or more using built-in software like iMovie. 

Import two or more videos and join them into one by dragging and dropping or uploading them to the app’s timeline. 

To create side-by-side videos in one frame (video collages), locate the "split screen" or "grid" option in the overlay settings.

The iMovie and built-in Android apps allow for very basic edits. If you’re looking for uncompressed quality and AI editing, you can use the Riverside mobile app. All your footage syncs to the cloud, so you can merge videos and audio to wrap-up final edits on your desktop.

How to merge MP4 video with audio?

Merge and sync audio and video with a high-pitched sound (say action) or just drag and drop on the timeline. 

To sync audio with video:

You need to align the separate audio file with the MP4 video by matching the sound spike in waveforms on your editing timeline. 

However, this isn’t a simple operation, especially if you didn’t plan it in advance during recording. Modern video merging tools like Riverside have an auto-sync feature that keeps tracks aligned during the recording.

To merge video with audio:

When merging audio, like music or background noise, make sure to match the visuals with the audio. Zoom in, listen and watch carefully and use the handy drag and drop to fine-tune the merge.

How to merge videos for social media?

Videos merged for social media must be quick and snappy. After merging all your videos together, use Magic Clips to automatically identify viral moments and choose the ones you can use to build a cohesive story. Then use the text-based editor or Co-Creator to generate b-roll, edit and add personalization.
