Combining multiple videos and other media

To combine videos and other media in Flixier you first need to add them to the media library. Click on the blue “Import” button and select from where you want to upload, then select the files you want to add to Flixier. For more information on the multiple fast options to add videos to Flixier, check our Import guide here.
 

After you add two or more media files to the Flixier library, you are ready to start combining them. All you have to do is drag and drop them on the timeline in the lower part of the screen. 

The timeline is organized in tracks that stack on top of one another. You can drag media files one after another on the same track in the order you want them to appear in your video. 

You can also stack videos on top of each other on different tracks, which allows you to create picture-in-picture or split-screen effects. More information about creating these effects can be found here. 

Stacking up also comes in handy in a variety of other situations: 

1. When you want to combine a video and an audio file. Add the video clip and then add the audio on a lower or higher track. You can synchronize the audio with the video by dragging it left and right on the timeline to change when it starts playing. More information about audio can be found here. 
2. When you want to add Text or Subtitles. Add the video clip and then add the text or upload/generate the subtitles the audio on a higher track. You can synchronize the audio with the subtitles or text by dragging it left and right on the timeline to change when it starts playing. More information about subtitles and text can be found here. 
3. When you want to add Shapes and Annotations. Add the video clip and then add the shape on a higher track. You can choose the moment where the shape shows up by dragging it left or right on the timeline to change when it starts playing. More information about shapes can be found here. 

Selecting and moving media files

To select a single media file in the timeline, simply click on it and a yellow border will appear around the media file to indicate that it is selected.

To deselect a media file, click on an empty space in the timeline or canvas. 

To select multiple media files, click and drag your cursor to draw a lasso over the files you want to select. Alternatively, you can hold down the Ctrl (or Cmd) key while clicking on individual clips to select multiple non-adjacent clips.

To move media files in the timeline, just click and drag on a selection to move it. You can move it left, right, up or down in the timeline. Check this page to learn more about cutting, moving and deleting clips in the timeline.
