How it works

How to join videos into one on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop two or more clips

    MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V can be mixed in one video.

  2. Drag them into order

    The queue order is the play order. Pick a transition and its length, and change it at any single join.

  3. Choose the canvas and join

    Landscape 16:9, Portrait 9:16, Square 1:1 or match a clip, at 30 or 60 fps. You get one MP4.

Choose how clips fit

Mixed clips, one clean video.

When a vertical phone clip meets a widescreen one, something has to fill the gap. Pick how clips that don’t match the canvas are fitted.

  • Fit + blur

    Start here

    The whole clip, sides filled with a blurred copy.

    Best for mixing vertical and wide footage.

  • Letterbox

    The whole clip, with black bars.

    Best for a plain, classic look.

  • Crop

    The frame filled, the overflow cut.

    Best when every clip has room around the subject.

The alternative

Why not join them in a video editor?

An editor gives you a full timeline, titles and effects, and for a real edit you want that. To put five clips end to end with a dissolve, it is a whole project.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Can I trim the clips before joining?

Yes. Trim each clip first with Trim video, then join the results. Join puts clips together as they are.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. Each clip’s sound comes along, and it crossfades with the picture at every transition.

Can it join clips of different sizes and formats?

Yes. Everything is normalized to one target shape and frame rate first, so clips from different cameras and apps sit together cleanly.

What transitions are there?

A straight cut, a dissolve, a fade to black or white, slides, and a circle opening or closing, each with a duration you set, and you can override the transition at any single junction.

Can I reorder the clips?

Yes. The order is the order of the queue, so drag the clips into place before you run it.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
