For some reason my camcorder mid recording a video of a band singing, split the recording into 2 videos, which although continuous gives a little sound blip on the split - being in the middle of a vocal its a nuisance

Is there anything I can do to lose this yet retain continuity ?

The video seems seamless but its the audio - but I cannot see how to edit this or what to do

You need to join the two clips before placing them on the timeline. Using DOS makes it easy. See this post if you need more help: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/65474.page . I have posted the answer many times in the past.

Hello - I'm having exactly the same issue (also recording band performances) and have tried the DOS file merging method described above, but whilst I get a new file which is the same size as the two original files combined, the length is the same as the first original file (in this case 11'49") and the new file stops at the same point as the first file. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

If it makes any difference I am using 2K GoPro files in mp4 format.

Many thanks for your help!

I am always wondering, that it seems to work for some files.
As I wrote in April 2018:

Quote I wondered that it works for mp4 files. With the provided DOS command, two binary files are concatenated.
The movie files usually contain a header and then the data.

So normally: Header-Data
Two files concatenated: Header1-Data1-Header2-Data2
That is not a valid movie file.

For mp4, it seems to work, why-o-ever. For mov not.

It is better to use programs (like PD) to concat movie files. If there are problems, there are many programs, that can do the job. For the Sony FDR-AX53 it's name is PlayMemories.
