Photos : combine short videos

Hi rony-z,

I can see you want to combine short videos into a long video. I'm happy to assist you with this.

The best way to combine videos is by using the iMovie application that comes with your computer. If your videos are already in Photos or iPhoto, they can be easily accessed in iMovie and combined into a single video. More information about using iMovie can be found here iMovie Help

Take care.

There is a quick way to do it directly in Photos:

• Trim each clip in Photos as you like.
• Create a slideshow project in Photos and arrange the video clips in the timeline. Then export the slideshow as a new video clip.

I came across the following workflow for Quicktime Player 10 recently.

Add an entire movie

1 - In the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, open the movie you want to add to, then choose View > Show Clips.

2 - Do one of the following:

a - Insert the clip at the end of the movie: Without selecting any clips, choose Edit > Add Clip to End.

b - Insert the clip at the beginning of the movie: Without selecting any clips, press Option, then choose Edit > Add Clip to Beginning.

c - Insert the clip elsewhere in the movie: Select a clip, then choose Edit > Insert Clip After Selection.

3 - Find and select the movie you want to add to your movie, then click “Choose media.”

Add a new clip

1 - In the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, open the movie that contains the clip you want to add.

2 - Choose View > Show Clips.

3 - Select the clip, then choose Edit > Copy.

4 - The selected clip is outlined in yellow.

5 - Open the movie that you want to add the clip to, then choose View > Show Clips.

6 - Choose Edit > Paste.

7 - The clip appears at the beginning of the movie. Drag the clip to rearrange it

I've not had time to try it out so can't comment on it's effectiveness.

Hello again rony-z,

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you were able to combine your videos. You're truly welcome.

Best regards.
