hey everyone do you have two or more
video clips that you're trying to merge
together into one well in this video
we're gonna show you how to merge those
video files together for free in Windows
10 hey everyone it's Ken here from
northern Viking everyday and if you are
new to this channel we bring you videos
on reviews and how to's so make sure you
click that subscribe button so you don't
miss out on any upcoming videos today
we're gonna be showing you how to merge
multiple video files so maybe you are on
holidays and you took a whole bunch of
videos and you want to merge them into
one so you can share them with your
friends family or just watch them
straight through without having to click
on them one at a time today we're gonna
be showing you how to do that it's
really easy and free to do in Windows 10
so let's jump on over to my computer and
show you how it's done
alright so here we are on my Windows 10
computer and I've got two video files
over here on the left-hand side then
we're gonna be merging together today
and the first ones called cruise one
it's footage of our cruise to Alaska
last summer of the pool area and the
second file is called cruise 2 which is
of the same cruise just looking over the
edge at one of the water slides so those
are the files we're gonna be merging
together today now Windows 10 has a free
video editor that a lot of people don't
know about and it's really easy to find
just go to your search bar and start
typing in video editor and you're gonna
see an app that comes up you don't even
have to type in the whole thing it's
under best match it says video editor
app just go ahead and left click on that
and that's gonna load up the video
editor for you now it's part of the
Photos app in Windows 10 so it does say
photos here at the top make sure video
projects is selected here and you're
gonna see a big blue rectangle or I
should say small blue rectangle that
says new video project and I can go
ahead and left click on that it's gonna
open up a new video project for you and
ask you to name it and you can name this
whatever you're like I'll just call it
merged video and then just go ahead and
click OK and it's gonna create that
project for you now once you've got your
project created we need to start
bringing in those two video files that
we were just looking
and there's a couple easy ways to do
that the first would be to click this
blue Add button here and we just go
ahead and let's click on that and hit
from this PC and it's gonna allow you to
browse your computer for your video
files and you can see I've got them on
my desktop here and cruise one is right
there I can just left click on it and
click on open and it's gonna bring that
file right into my project library here
in the video editor though that's the
first way to do it and the second way is
probably the easier way to do it you can
just minimize your video editor here and
just drag and draw the video file in it
so when I bring it over you're gonna see
it turns blue in that area and I can
just drop it in there and it's gonna
import that video file right into our
project library now if you have 10
videos or 15 videos you would do that
for each of them and bring them into
your project library now from there we
need to move the project the video files
from our project library down to the
storyboard here at the bottom so this is
quite easy to do the first way would be
to just select the file that you want to
move down there I'm gonna only select
one of them to start and once you've
selected one it's gonna say place in the
storyboard right here you can go ahead
and click on that it's gonna drop that
video down to the very bottom into the
storyboard here how many the first way
to do it the second way and probably the
easier way would be to just drag and
drop that video down to the bottom so if
I hover over cruise 2 and just drag it
down and drop it in one of these black
rectangles here at the bottom and you
can see had dropped it down there now
maybe you put them in the wrong order
and you're worried about that no problem
just grab the one with your mouse and
move it over in front of the other one
and they'll automatically shuffle and
you can put them in whatever order you
want at this point
so once you've let them down in your
storyboard here you're gonna see in the
top right hand corner there's a video
footage and a player so this is actually
what you're gonna see when you output
the video so if I actually move these
back to the other order you can see that
that's switched because it's at the
beginning of the video with the pool
deck versus over the side of the cruise
ship so I'll move them back and if you
want to watch the video what the output
is going to be you can just go ahead and
hit play
here and it's gonna play through that
video over the side of the cruise ship
in my instance and once it gets to the
next video is just going to switch over
to the pool area so you can see that
that's what it's emerging together so
once you've got that all perfect now we
just need to go ahead and export our
video so in the top right hand corner
here you're gonna see an option that
says finish video if I go ahead and
click on that it's gonna ask me what
quality I want to output the video I
like to keep that on the highest one
here which is 1080p but you can select
other options then you just go ahead and
click export and it's gonna ask you for
a file location to export your video to
I'm just gonna click on my desktop here
and if you want to you can change the
name of your file I'm not going to do
that today I'm just gonna go ahead and
click export it made the file name the
same as my project so let's click export
it's going to start exporting that file
right to the desktop on my computer and
I think it's actually gonna start
playing automatically I'm going to close
that
there we go it's starting to play but
let's minimize this video editor and
it's right here on my desktop and I'm
gonna open that up and start playing it
and you can see I've got my video
footage of it looking over the edge of
the cruise ship and any second there we
go it switches over to the pool area on
the cruise show and it's not easy to
combine or merge your videos for free in
Windows 10 using the video editor if
