How to join several AVI files

Step 1. Install the AVI merger

Step 2. Add the videos you want to combine

To merge AVI files, you first have to add the videos to the program. Launch our AVI combiner, click Add Files, and select the files you want to join together. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the videos from their folder(s) to the working area in the order you want them to appear.

Step 3. Insert transitions

You can insert stylish transitions between the individual video clips so that they flow smoothly from one to the next. Open the Transitions tab to review the available transitions. Drag the desired transition to the working area and drop it between two video clips. If you want to quickly add transitions between all clips, click the Transition wizard button above the working area and choose the desired transition style and duration. For more details, read our guide about adding animated transitions to a video.

Step 4. Save your video

After you have finished editing, click the Export button and choose the size, quality, and format for your video. If you want to watch the video on a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet, click the Save for devices tab and choose the appropriate device model. Specify the destination folder and the filename, then click Start and wait a short while for your video to be converted. Congratulations! Now you know how to use the Movavi's AVI cutter and joiner!

How to combine AVI files online

Step 2. Add your AVI files

Next, you'll need to add the files that you want to merge together. There are two ways of doing this. You can either click on the Add Your Files button and then find the files you want to add in your device's storage, or you can simply drag and drop files from your device onto the video merger window. Make sure that any AVI files you use are under 500 MB in size, as the tool won't work with files that are bigger than this. You can also merge MOV, MKV, WMV, and MP4 files on Fastreel.
