How to Merge Clips?

Trainn allows you to combine two or more consecutive clips into a single clip. This is especially useful when you're demonstrating related actions that are better understood through a single clip. Merging clips also lets you add a single narration across the combined clip, making your walkthroughs clearer and more cohesive. 

Steps

In this guide, we will learn how to merge clips.

Let us take a scenario, you want to merge clips 3, 4, and 5.

1. Start by selecting clip number 3 and click on Three-dot icon next to it. 

2. Choose Merge Clips from the clip operations window.

3. You will notice that checkboxes appear across every clip. Check the suitable boxes (3,4,5) to merge. 

   Quick tip: To select multiple clips at once, let’s say 10 clips to be merged, check the box of the first clip. Then hold the Shift key while checking the box of the last clip. This will automatically select all clips between them.

4. Click on Merge at the top of the clip selection area to combine them.
   

   Note: Trainn automatically manages the spacing between voiceovers when clips are combined. The system adds a 0.25-second pause between each voiceover script to ensure smooth transitions in your narration.   

Limitations

• You can only merge adjacent clips that appear consecutively in your timeline, like clips  3, 4, and 5. Merging out-of-sequence clips like clips 3, 4, and 6 is not possible.

• During the merging process, any zooms and spotlights in the selected clips will be removed automatically.
