Hi there,
I've got some gopro footage that I shot and because it's so long my gopro has split it into 3 files, what I'm just trying to do is join them back together to get one video file.
My problem is that where the files join I get a little skip in the video.
I put the clips on the timeline and put them up against each other, that's it.....

Could someone pls help me out on what I'm missing here.....

Thanx in advance

If you only want to join the files from the same source you may want to use the concatenate function of ffmpeg without re-encoding the footage. See the docs here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate

kdenlive will encode the files again and that gives a loss in quality.

Thanx capslock,
that was a great help....I managed to join them and now I can load them into kdenlive and do some fadein, fadeouts etc.....
It's a shame it doesn't work in kdenlive just by putting the files together on the time line.

Thanx very much again.....

Pleased to help you out...

I wonder if kdenlive keeps the small stutter at the joins after rendering. It may come to missing frames in the preview because of complex seeking in AVCHD or similar codec files. You can check this if you set an in and out point on the timeline short before and after a clip join and select "Render selection".

Yea that was the 1st thing I thought of.....but it didn't help after the render.....
