Premiere Pro can not only help you combine video clips and audio files, but it also supports merging audio clips with videos. The following will show you the detailed guides for Premiere Pro merge clips (video, audio, and video with audio). Just read on!
* Before starting merging clips, you should download and install Adobe Premiere Pro on your desktop, launch the tool and create an account to utilize its functionalities fully.
To combine video clips in Premiere Pro, just follow the simple steps below to create a nested sequence.
Step 1. Launch Premiere Pro and go to the “Project” window, right-click anywhere, and select “Import” to import video clips, or you can directly drag and drop files from the Finder window to Premiere Pro’s Project panel.
Step 2. Drag the video clips onto the timeline. Select the files you want to merge and right-click on any selected clips. Choose “Nest...” from the drop-down menu. Write a name for the nested sequence. Now the selected videos on the timeline have been merged.
Step 3. Once you finish editing, just go to “File” > “Export” > “Media” to open the Export Settings. Customize the settings to your desire and press “Export” at the bottom area to output the merged file immediately. You can also press “Queue” to send the file to the Adobe Media Encoder program for exporting at a later time (with other videos in batch). And during this time, you can continue to create other projects in Premiere Pro.
You can also combine audio clips in Premiere Pro with the nesting technique, which can preserve your original audio clips while merging them into a single clip on the timeline for editing more easily. Just read the following to join audio clips.
Step 1. Import the audio clips you want to join and drag them onto the timeline.
Step 2. Select all the audio clips and right-click on the selected files. Choose “Nest...” from the drop-down menu.
Step 3. Rename the nested sequence and click “OK”.
(If you need to edit each audio clip independently, you can double-click the nested sequence and make it the active sequence, where you’ll see the merged clips.)
Step 4. Now, you can convert the nested sequence into s single audio track by right-clicking the nested sequence and selecting “Render and Replace” from the drop-down menu.
Step 5. Press “Ctrl + M” or “Command + M” to bring up the “Exporting Settings” window. Customize the output settings and press “Export” to export merged audio clip at once.
Note: You won't be able to alter the separate audio clips you've combined if you "Render and Replace" your nested audio sequence. A new single audio file will replace the original audio clips. This method is frequently used by editors to save memory during editing because it uses less memory than nested sequences, although it is not a "non-destructive" style of editing.
If you need to revert this process, just right-click on the audio clip and select “Restore Unrendered”.
Besides merging video clips and audio clips separately, users may also want to merge audio clips with video clips in Premiere Pro. And the following will show you how to add audio tracks and merge audio and video together in Premiere Pro.
Step 1. Import both the video and audio clips into the “Project” panel.
Step 2. Select the clips you want to merge and right-click on the selected files. Then choose “Merge Clips...” from the drop-down option.
Step 3. Select the merge settings and rename the merged clip.
Tips. You can remove the original audio track from the video clip in the “Merge Clips” window. Just select “Audio” in the “Synchronize Point” section and check the “Remove Audio from AV Clip” box. Then press “OK”. Now you will get a merged audio-video file that only contains the audio track you added.
Step 4. Go to “File” > “Export” > “Media” and adjust the exporting settings to output the merged audio-video file.
