"merge clips" button missing? I wish to merge clips

Greetings

I have a video I am making:

however:

When I select all the clips with SHIFT CLICK and they all turn red outline, I right click and I’m supposed to see “merge clips”

but this option does not show?

Anyone know how I can merge these clips when the above merge clip option is not showing?

Select the on click you want to merge (transition) and move to the other video and merge it as transition …

Thanks for reply BUT:

I don’t see these options you mention?

just confirming…

What do you think is merge?

Is it transition ? mix end of a movie and begin of next video together ?

I think merge is, what videos like this tell me:

IT says to use “Merge clip” after right clicking on the selection.

However I dont have more > merge clips on right clicks?

Only available for contiguous sub-clips, like undo a split without using undo history. Otherwise, use a group.

I have NO idea how to do this

I dont even know what terminology to search for! :frowning:

Can you send me a video link to a tutorial or similar?

There is no generic “merge” until you export. The most simple example:

  1. Make a new Split of a timeline clip
  2. Do not do anything else
  3. Right click sub-clip 1
  4. Choose Rejoin With Next Clip

“Rejoin” helps to reinforce the concept of reverting a split. “Contiguous” means you cannot trim the end of sub-clip 1 or the beginning of sub-clip 2, delete one of the parts, have a gap between them, or make a transition between them. As long as they are still contiguous, you can choose this at a later time without having to undo multiple things (or undo not available after reopen project).

Grouping is simple too: select multiple timeline clips, right-click one, and choose Group/Ungroup. A group is simply a saved multi-selection. When you select one member of the group, all members are selected.

This feature is awesome! I just learned about it and I’m going to use it a ton. It would be even better if there was an option to add filters to all the grouped clips. Is that something you’re planning to add?
