Which video editor can be used to combine exported mp4 files?#
Well, the answer depends upon a few additional questions:
- are your exported videos in 360° or already reframed?
- are you trying to combine 360° videos to one longer video?
- do you want to reframe from your 360° exported videos?
- do you need to have a native 360° import/export support?
- how much effort are you willing to put into it?
- how is your budget?
Those are only a few and additional ones may be more specific, but let us stick with a general overview for the moment.
Table of 3rd party video editors#
So what could be more obvious than to present the whole thing in a table? ;) But please understand this is only a list of example no totally complete overview. Furthermore I focused on the 360° video support. The "max resolution" column refers mainly to the export resolution supported/provided and is based on specs/faq entries at the time of writing (2022-01). To just edit your already reframed clips many good tools exist and most of the listed tools have that ability too.
