Tips to keep in mind before combining your video

Here's a list of possible challenges you might stumble across when combining your video clips.  Going over these pointers will save you time and help you plan better before you get down to editing, so your video looks wholesome after you’ve merged your clips.

1. Video duration

Note the duration of all the clips you want to combine. This will help you estimate how long your final video is going to be.  If you have limitations on how long your video should be you’ll want to think about how you might want to cut down on some of the footage.

2. Video Dimensions

Make a note if the clips you’re looking to combine have different video aspect ratios like - square, vertical, or horizontal. This can happen if you’ve recorded your clips on different devices or filmed from different angles. The best way to work with clips that have different video dimensions is to adjust your clips as needed by adding padding to the top or bottom of the clip. This will make your final video look coherent.

3. Brightness and color

If you’re working with multiple clips, chances are you’ve recorded footage in different lighting. Check your clips to note if any of them need a color or brightness adjustment to make sure your clips look consistent once they’re all combined.

4. Clip Sequence/order

Think of a sequence that best arranges all of your clips to tell your story. This will save you time from trying out multiple combinations when you’re editing! You can even name your video clips in the correct order so that you can add them easily.

5. Captions & text

Your video may be powerful enough with captivating visuals but sometimes having text sprinkled in suitable intervals can enhance your video. If some of your clips need captions or text at the end of the video, note what you’d want your message to be.

6. Music and transitions

Small editing tricks like having music and transitions can smoothen out your video especially if the combined clips look choppy. However, be careful not to add too many transitions or pick a track that may distract from your video.

If you’ve gone over this checklist you’re all set to get started.

FAQs

How to combine clips that have different aspect ratios?

Combining video clips with different aspect ratios can be a bit challenging. One handy trick to explore is using colored padding to adjust the clip to a desired ratio.

Here's an example of what this would look like. This is a clip with a 1:1 Square aspect ratio that I've adjusted to fit a widescreen frame. To soften the effect of the padding you can match the color of the padding to any complementing color in the clip.

You can also explore tools like zooming in to the clip or cropping out certain parts of the clip to help you adjust clips with different aspect ratios.
