Step-by-Step Guide: How to Merge Clips in Vegas Pro?

To merge videos for seamless playback, you'd better have the files to be combined with the same specifications, like format, resolution, bitrate, and others. Surely, you can combine any videos together, but there may be obvious differences between each video clip in the output combined video.

Without further ado, let’s see how to merge clips with Vegas Pro below.

Launch Vegas Pro and click the "Import Media" button under the project media tab in the top-left corner to import the video clips you want to merge.

You can also directly drag and drop the files into the editor.

💡 If you encounter file-importing issues with Vegas Pro, you can try the recommended tool to convert your files or directly use it to merge your video and audio clips without issue.

Drag imported videos to the timeline. Then a pop-up window will ask if you'd like to set your project video settings to match the media. Simply choose “Yes”.

Now you can trim the video, or do other edits. Once finished, drag the second video to make the beginning touches the end of the first video.

💡 If you imported multiple video clips, repeat the step to make them connected end to end.
💡 If you prefer to have a transition between the two instead of a hard jump, drag the second event’s beginning into the first event’s ending to create an overlap between the clips, and Vegas will create a crossfade between the clips automatically.

Here are three different ways to render the merge video.

Method 1: Press “Ctrl + A” and then click “File” to bring up a new window.

Select “Render As...” and then choose an output path and name the project. The target file format and resolution can also be selected.

Finally, hit the “Render” button to start the merging process and output the merged file.

Method 2. Press “Ctrl + M” on your keyboard or choose “Tools” > “Render to New Track” on the top menu bar to bring up the “Render” window.

Method 3. Directly go to “File” and then save your project.
