Combining videos

You can combine videos recorded with your camera by events, such as athletic meets, wedding ceremonies, etc.

1. In the main window, select the videos you want to combine.

   Notes

   • Only videos recorded in the TS (AVC) or MPEG-2 format can be combined with videos in their respective formats. However, you can also combine videos recorded in 3D with AVCHD 60i/50i format videos.
   • You cannot combine AVCHD format videos, if their frame rates are different.
   • You cannot combine NTSC videos with PAL videos, for example, combining 60p format videos with 50p format videos.

   Hint

   • For details on the files that can be combined, see the table below.
