Merging videos

 Available for: Pro, Admin, Owner 

If you have two or three recorded video clips (without slides) for one lesson or activity and would like to merge them into one single project, follow the steps below:

1. Select two or three video projects using the checkbox at the top right-hand corner of the videos you wish to merge.

2. Click the 'Merge' button

3. Enter Title and Description in the Merge pop-up and click the 'Save' button

 Merging videos are great for capturing a highlight reel of video clips but there are some limitations in the types of video files that can be merged together so please refer to the guide below. Remember that you will always retain the original video files in your Swivl Teams library so if you make an error you can attempt a new merge. 

Merge Scenario
Single-camera videos: (recorded with one device) that originated within the Swivl app	✔
Single video files (recorded with one device) that originated elsewhere and uploaded via Swivl Teams video upload tool	✔
Multi-camera videos: *only the primary device's video* that originated within the Swivl app will be included in the newly merged project. Additional camera video files: C2, C3, C4, C5 will remain attached to the original MC project.	✔
Multi-marker videos: depending on the configuration of original videos, the final merged project may either have a multi-marker or a mixed audio track. Typically, if all merged videos were multi-marker type projects and had an identical number of audio channels, the final merged projects will result in a multi-marker project. Otherwise, the final merged projects will have mixed audio.	✔
Speech Analysis: unfortunately, for Swivl team members, projects with Speech analysis data will not be carried over to the final project, even if multi-marker videos were merged successfully. The analytics will remain with the original file.	❌
Retain HD quality: unfortunately, any merger between HD videos with SD videos result in SD final video	❌
Video containing slides	❌
