How to Merge Videos on Windows 10
By Kendra D. Mitchell |

When you need to merge multiple videos into a single file, a good video merging tool is required. Though there are several merging tools available, choosing the right one is important to ensure that the process is smooth and there is no loss of file quality. If you, too, have been searching for programs to merge videos on Windows 10, you are on the right page. The article below discusses the top 3 tools to merge videos on Windows.
Part 1: Option 1: Windows Photos App [Default]
Earlier, Windows Movie Maker was the tool that was used as the default option by the Windows user for editing and other tasks. At the starting of the year 2017, the tool was officially discontinued. As an alternative, the Photos app on Windows 10 comes with similar abilities but you need to ensure that your system is updated and has the latest Fall Creators Update to access the merging feature.
So, after your Windows 10 system has v1709(Fall Creators Update) or higher, you can quickly and easily merge the videos using the steps below.
Step 1. On your Windows system, launch the Photos app.
Step 2. At the Collection tab, click on the New video project at the top-right corner, and a new blank project will start.
Step 3. A pop-up Name your video window will open where you can give the desired name to your video and click on OK to confirm.
Step 4. At the Project library, click on the +Add button to browse and add the videos to be merged. (You can add the videos from your PC, collection, or Web)
Step 5. After all the videos are added to the Project Library, click on the checkboxes next to the ones that you want to merge and click on Place in the storyboard.
Step 6. The selected videos will be added under the Storyboard section at the bottom of the interface. Here you can trim, split, add effects, and edit the added videos in several ways as needed. The sequence of the videos can also be changed by simply dragging and moving them.

Step 7. When all changes are done, click on the Finish video option at the top right corner. A pop-up window will open from where you can choose the video quality from the available 3 pre-set options. Finally, click on the Export button, select the desired output file name and the location to save the processed video.

Step 8. Again, click on the Export button, and the app will start processing and merging your videos.
The merged video will save to the system location as selected.
Thus, this works as a free video joiner Windows 10.
Part 2: Option 2: VLC [Video merger software for Windows 10]
VLC is one of the most widely used media players that is free to use and has cross-platform support. In addition to playback of media files in an array of formats, the player supports several editing functions as well including video merging. Using VLC, the videos in the same format can be merged into a single file in a few simple steps. Using the program, you can even edit the file parameters, cut videos, trim unwanted parts, crop videos, and customize the file in other ways.
So, if you are looking for basic editing and merging of videos on Windows 10, Mac, or Linux, VLC will work as a simple and workable tool.
Steps to merge videos using VLC
Step 1. Download, install and open the VLC player on your system.
Step 2. On the main interface, select Media > Open Multiple Files…

Step 3. A new pop-up Open Media window will open from where click on + Add sign under the File tab to browse and import the videos to be merged.

Step 4. After all the videos are added, tap on the Convert/Save button at the bottom-right corner and choose Convert from the dropdown menu.

Step 5. A new pop-up Convert window will open now. Next, the system folder to save the merged file can be browsed and selected at the Destination tab. Finally, click on the Start button to start merging the added files.

VLC, thus works as a decent video merger software for Windows 10 and other platforms.
