1165637 2010-12-30 06:39:00 Many good digital cameras, (e.g.Canon 5D mark 2) take excellent HD video clips, but each clip is a seperate MOV.file. I just want to join them up, don't want a complicated video software programme, like Adobe Premiere, is there a simple free way to just join them up? not with some systems that compress them, into a small AVI file,but to retain the full HD sized files, just joined up. carlwatson (10011)
1165638 2010-12-30 07:03:00 "small avi" and "Full HD" don't go together.

Yes you can join them (I can't help there sorry) but compressing them to avi with a small file size means the HD video will be compressed into a smaller container. the result will be standard definition or if the right codec is used, up to about 720p (from memory)

1165639 2010-12-30 07:28:00 I used to join my clips in Adobe Premiere but now I just keep related clips in their own folder. I only join them as part of editing.

"Joining" clips by putting them in their own folder can also be a simple way of batch renaming....

1165641 2010-12-31 05:22:00 Couldn't you import them into a program like win movie maker put them in the order you want on the timeline and export?

Or try iMovie HD or 09 on a Mac. (I find that iMovie is better equipped for file exportation than windows movie maker).

Premiere Trial?
