Can I merge videos using Clipchamp?

Yes, one of the advantages of Clipchamp is that you can use it to merge multiple videos into one file. Here is a link to Clipchamp's guide to merging videos, or you can follow the steps below.

1. First, create your videos.
   • Tip: If you are using a mobile device to create the video recordings, some phones (e.g. Google Pixels) may save the recording as a ts.mp4 file which is not compatible with Clipchamp. The recording will need converting to a .mp4 file.
2. Upload the recordings to your University OneDrive account.
   • Tip: You can do this via the OneDrive app if you have installed it on your phone, or transfer your files to a computer.
3. Open the Clipchamp login page and click Sign in to Clipchamp for work or school accounts. Use your University log in details to sign in.
