Join & combine

Video merger that joins clipswithout an upload

Give Shorz a list of clips and it writes them into one file, in order, on your own disk. Then fade between them, score them and caption them without ever opening another app.

Several video clips being joined into one continuous file in Shorz

How to use the video merger in three steps

Joining clips is the most basic operation in video and still the most annoying one online: upload each file, wait, hope the encoder matches, accept a watermark. Locally it's instant. And because Shorz is a full editor rather than a converter, the merged file can come out already faded, scored and captioned.

List the clips in order

Point Shorz at the files you want joined and the order you want them in. It handles the concatenation and writes one continuous output.

Smooth the joins

Add fades between sections, or run the merged file through a transition pass so the cuts feel intentional instead of abrupt.

Finish it as one video

Once it's one file it's one project: caption the whole thing, put music under it, grade it, add a border, and export for whichever platform you're posting to.

Why Video Merger in Shorz

A multi-scene project assembling several clips into one video

Merging as part of a real edit

Every Shorz project already assembles clips — scenes in Text-to-Video, B-roll inserts, clipped highlights. Merging is the same machinery exposed on its own, so a joined file behaves like anything else you build here.

Editor-grade

Batch it from one sentence

Ask your AI assistant to join every clip in a folder, in filename order, with a one-second fade between each. Over MCP that's a single instruction rather than fifty drag-and-drops.

Shorz speaks MCP

Shorz isn't a locked web app. Connect it to Claude, Cursor, Codex or Gemini and your assistant can drive it directly — one message instead of a panel full of clicks. You review before anything is published.

“Join intro.mp4, main.mp4 and outro.mp4 into one file with a half-second fade between each.”

Video Merger questions

As many as you like — you supply the list of files and the order, and Shorz writes them into a single output.

Shorz re-encodes to a single consistent output. If sizes differ wildly, resize or fit-to-aspect the clips first so the framing is what you expect.

No. Merging runs on your own machine, so there's no upload, no queue and no file-size ceiling.

Concatenation is one of Shorz's single-file tools, driven over MCP — ask the AI assistant you've connected to Shorz and it runs the join for you.
