Arrange the videos in the required order

When you export the video, scenes in the output video will appear in the same order as in the timeline. Thus, you need to use the drag and drop mechanism to rearrange the scenes on the timeline in your required order.

Press the “PLUS” icon between the merged video scenes to add a transition effect to make it look more professional.
