Step 2. Add your videos onto the timeline side by side

Drag and drop the video assets you would like to combine onto the timeline side by side. Placing videos next to one another on the timeline automatically combines multiple clips into one long video.

You can trim multiple assets at once with the multi-item editing feature. Hold down the shift or command key, click on the assets you want to trim, and then drag the trim handles to trim multiple assets as once.

Trimming assets on the timeline will create gaps between clips or assets. To delete the gaps, use the gap removal feature by moving your cursor over the gap, then clicking on the delete button (trash can icon).

Note: you can also split the videos to remove unwanted parts or add filters, text, and other effects. See how to edit a video for more information.

Step 4. Add transitions between video clips (optional) 

Click on the transitions tab on the toolbar to browse different options. Next, drag and drop a transition between two assets on the timeline. The transition will automatically snap into place to combine two clips.
