I installed the latest version of OpenShot with

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt install openshot-qt python3-openshot

I want to merge two videos. I dragged them into the left pane in OpenShot. If I select both of them, and export, it is only exporting the video on which I clicked (although I selected both).

How to merge two videos using OpenShot in Ubuntu?

I am using Kubuntu 24.04.

  • I belive you can do it with losslesscut. Worth a try?

Ensuring that both videos use the same codec, losslesscut is a useful tool for completing this task.

The task is made simple by first selecting the videos and sorting them in to the order required. When done, click on Open then `Merge'.

this useful YT video from TutorTube (acknowledgements) explains the process in a very short and uncomplicated way.

To do this in OpenShot, you should drag the clips to the timeline near the bottom of the window. Alternatively you can press the + toolbar button after you have selected the clip.

The timeline determines what will be exported, the selection in the list is just for the user interface.
