Part 2: Tips to know before combining videos for YouTube

Input Quality

The input quality of videos matters a lot because the quality of the final video will depend on it. You need to use videos that have the same resolution and quality. If the videos have different resolutions, you need to match the resolution before you go any further.

Use Transitions

When you combine different videos, then it looks odd if one video ends and the next starts abruptly. When you add a transition, it allows one video to end smoothly and start the next one smoothly. This makes the video more engaging. You can add transitions using the video editors like Filme.

Formats

The format of the input file matters because of the compatibility of the software. If the video formats are compatible with the video editor or tool you are using, there is nothing to worry about input formats.

The output format also makes a difference. You need to select the format that is most commonly used and select the best one according to the platform you are going to use the video on.

Aspect Ratios

Aspect ratios of the video are important, and they must be the same for all clips that you join. Obviously, a portrait video will not work well with a landscape video. Thus, the aspect ratio must be the same. Moreover, the aspect ratio should be selected according to the use of the video and the platform where it is going to be used.
