I import files of an event; record time around 55 minutes. The camera has 2 files, sequentually named. The second file is a continuance of the first, like the camera stopped recording and then began again, instantly. When the two files are placed on the time line and played, there is no change in the play back when it ends the first file and begins the second.

My question: how can I put the two files together into one file? My intention is to use the Multi Cam Designer to make one video.

Hi Robert -

With the two videos in the timeline, butted end-to-end, just produce to your preferred format. Then you'll have a single video file.

Some cameras or FAT32 SD cards will do that.

You know, after I posted the question I thought that would be the cure but wanted to wait for an expert answer. It becomes confusing with the file names on two cameras (same model) and that problem you just solved for me.

Thanks

You stated that the videos of the two camera were recorded sequentially. Multicam requires you to record the videos concurrently with the two cameras.
