The concept of merging videos is not something new. Look at any movie, any ad film, any documentary rendition… chance is you will find merging of videos in nearly each one of them.
Rare is a film that consists of a single camera shot. That may not be practical, feasible, or planned that way. Mostly, several shots are merged and sequenced to come one after another guided by an underlying theme or story.
Web video is not an exception. Here too needs exist to merge different videos as required by the overall objectives of the final video.
You may say there may perhaps be no need of a second video within a PowerPoint presentation. After all, if you cover all your points in a single presentation, why need a second video?
But look at this way…if someone makes a PowerPoint presentation exactly similar to yours, is there a way for viewers to tell which one is yours and why?
If now you add some flavor in your PowerPoint presentation in the form of illustrations in different video types, are you not leaving your definite stamp on it, thereby making it uniquely yours?
The point I want to make is that when you add different types of videos together you not only make the final video unique from your perspective, you also add more value to the final video.
It is important to remember that viewers may find it easy to understand a concept when you explain it in say PowerPoint presentation, supported by maybe bits of flash movie, or videocam movie, or static images on motion, or some suchlike.
Similar is the case when a screencast video or any other for that matter, is backed up by other forms of videos.
With us? Okay, let’s come to 2 cardinal principles of merging videos:
- The videos to be merged should preferably have the same file format – AVI or WMV for example. Some video editors support only these 2 formats, others also support flash formats like MP4.
- The videos to be merged should preferably have the same resolution. Otherwise the out-of-size segment will either look hazy or have dark patches surrounding it in the final video.
