How to Join Videos on QuickTime

Join videos in QuickTime.

QuickTime is the default video player on computers that run on the Mac operating system. If you have two separate videos that you would like to join together, you do not need to buy expensive video-editing software. By working creatively, you can join videos in the free version of QuickTime. Joining QuickTime videos allows you to seamlessly view your videos while avoiding the need to separately open and view them one at a time.

Instructions

1. Click on a video's icon to open a Quicktime video. Click and drag the playhead at the bottom of the video to the section of the video where you want to insert the second video. Place this at any point in the video.

2. Locate the second video on your computer that you want to join with the first video. Click the video and drag and drop the video's icon into the already open QuickTime video.

3. Click "Play." See that the two videos are now joined, with the second video starting at the point you determined with the positioning of the playhead.

4. Click the "Close" button to close the video. A window appears that asks if you want to save the merged version.

5. Click the "Save" button and choose "Save as a self-contained movie" when the pop-up window appears. Click "Save" one more time. You now have joined videos on QuickTime.
