If you’re editing video content in Wondershare Filmora and wondering how to combine, join, or merge audio or video clips, you’re in the right place.

How to combine, join, or merge multiple video or audio clips using the Compound Clip feature in Filmora?

In this article, you’ll learn step-by-step how to combine audio clips, merge video clips, and join different types of media together for smoother editing and faster workflow.

Why Combine or Merge Clips in Filmora?

While editing, it’s common to split long recordings into smaller clips or add various media segments on your timeline. But applying filters, transitions, or effects to each clip individually can be time-consuming.

By using Filmora’s built-in Compound Clip feature, you can:

Combine video clips into a single editable unit
Join audio clips to adjust volume or effects uniformly
Merge different media types like audio, video, and images
Save time and keep your timeline neat and organized

How to Combine Video Clips in Wondershare Filmora

Here’s how to combine video clips using Filmora’s Compound Clip feature:

Step 1: Select the Clips

In your timeline, select the video clips you want to merge. You can even include images if needed.

Step 2: Right-Click and Create Compound Clip

Right-click on the selected clips and choose “Create Compound Clip”.
Alternatively, press the shortcut key Alt + G (this shortcut key may vary depending on your system).

Step 3: Name the Compound Clip

You’ll be asked to name the new combined clip. For example, My_Video_Clip_01.
Click OK, and your clips will now appear as one combined video clip in your timeline.

From here, you can apply effects, filters, or edits to the entire segment without having to do it for each clip separately.

How to Combine or Join Audio Clips in Filmora

The steps to combine audio clips are nearly identical to video:

Select the audio clips on your timeline.
Right-click and choose “Create Compound Clip” or use Alt + G. Pro Tip: You can change this shortcut key.
Give your new audio segment a name, like Combined_Audio_01.

You now have a single merged audio clip that can be edited as one file—making it easier to adjust volume, apply noise reduction, or add music effects across the board.

Can You Combine Different Media Types?

Absolutely. In Wondershare Filmora, you’re not limited to just audio or video. You can combine:

Video clips with images
Audio clips with video
Multiple audio and video clips together

This is especially helpful when working on projects with intros, outros, or image overlays that you want to keep together as one group.

Faster Than Exporting & Reimporting

A common but slower method is to export your timeline and re-import the video as one merged file. But with Filmora’s Compound Clip feature, you can join and merge clips instantly—without sacrificing quality or waiting on export times.

Final Thoughts

To recap, you can:

Combine video clips to apply transitions or effects uniformly
Join audio clips for easier sound editing
