One of the multimedia elements that has a superior impact on any presentation or file that we want to create or edit are the videos which we can configure in multiple formats such as .avi, .mp4, .wmv, etc., this based on the need and Project resources , regardless of this a video directly expresses an idea and is very clear to highlight concepts, approaches or techniques..
It is normal that when we are working on a project with videos , the insertion of not only a video but of two or more is required due to the quality or extension of the topic to be treated. In this case it can be annoying to insert each video separately not only for the space or errors that this may entail, but if we forget any of the videos this will result in an incomplete presentation. So the most feasible and useful solution is to unify these videos into one, this results in:
- The certainty that all the desired videos will be available
- A single video instead of multiple loose videos
- The whole presentation at a glance
- Better management of topics to show
Through this tutorial, TechnoWikis will explain how we can join two videos in Windows 10 thanks to its integrated tools without using any third-party program.
