The best video editing plugins — 2020
An essential part of being a post-production specialist is knowing your tools and how to use them. But it is equally important to know when another tool will increase your ability and efficiency.

Most video recording devices have a limit on how big the file size can be. Your video probably exceeded that limit, and so the camera stopped recording to the first file and started a new one. If you are using a Windows computer, believe it or not, there is a Windows command that will stitch them together. Put the files in the same folder on your drive. Open a command prompt and navigate it to the folder where your files are. If you're not familiar with DOS commands, let's say you have your videos in a folder on your C: drive called Videos (or in other words, the C:Videos folder). When you open your command prompt, you will type the following command to navigate to that folder:
cdvideos
Be sure that you use a and not a /. Now let's say your files are called video1.MVI and video2.MVI. You will use the following command to stitch them together:
copy /b video1.MVI + video2.MVI videofull.MVI
On the flip side of what I told you earlier, be sure to use a / and not a in this command. Instead of videofull.MVI, you can use any name for the new file that it will create. This is just an example.
If you have a Mac, I heard from a Mac user friend of mine that there is a similar command on the Mac, but I don't know what that would be off the top of my head. I believe it is a "cat" command. You can probably Google it, though.
I hope this helps.
