Best Joiner to Merge MTS/M2TS Files into One on Mac Yosemite

Could you find a best joiner to merge MTS and M2TS files into an integrate one? Could you offer the help to solve the problem of separated files? Luckily, the topic of this article here is highly related.



Q1: How do MTS and MT2S come into being?
A: In brief, MTS and M2TS are usually used in HD camcorder videos. When you shoot some videos with your HD camcorder, there might be several separated MTS and M2TS videos instead of a complete one.

Q2: Why these files are separated?
A: Let’s take Canon HD camcorder which generates MTS files for an example. The length of the file depends on the compression. An hour video will be divided into three to four separate files. Any other situations? An amateurish photographer says that he used to shoot with a camera that split videos every two minutes!

Q3: What’s the advantage of merging separated MTS and M2TS files into one?
A: What happens is that the whole video is recorded in several pieces. And if merge them into a complete one, what result and benefit can it take to us? For instance, when you take a video of an event, you would stop recording from time to time. Every time you stop recording, the video camera would save the recorded video as a separate video. If you combine them into an integrate one, you will get a coherent video footage. What’s more? There is no necessary for you to pick out each video you shoot and want; you can merge them into one for convenient playing and editing or something else you want.

Q4: What’s the effective solution?
A: To merge MTS and M2TS files into one on Mac Yosemite, a professional MTS or M2TS joiner is necessary. Here, I highly recommend Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac because of its lossless conversion. (Windows version.) It’s a great MTS and M2TS joiner, which provides the best way to join the MTS and M2TS videos into only one file in high quality.

The workflow about how to merge MTS and M2TS files into one on Mac Yosemite is as follows:

Step 1: Add files

Download the best MTS/M2TS Joiner for Mac and install it. Then, open the interface. Put your videos into MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac by drag and drop. Or you can click “Add from Folder” to add a few files at one time. It’s remarkable that the format of files you import should be MTS and M2TS.



Step 2: Join multiple MTS or M2TS files into one

Check the files you want to combine them into one. Then, pitch on “Merge into one file” at the right side of “Settings” button.

Meanwhile, don’t forget to choose the output format. For Mac Yosemite, you’d better choose “Common Video>>H.264 Video (*.mp4)” as output format by clicking the drop-down button on the right side of the “Format” button. For different output formats, you can refer to this.

Tips: If you want to change the order of two clips, just exchange both by a simple operation. Choose one and then click the arrows of “move up” and “move down”.



Step 3: Do some simple editing

Before exporting a big file, if needed, you can also do some simple editing jobs. You can set video resolution, frame rate, bit rate, codec and so on by hitting “Settings” option. In addition, edit function is absolutely necessary in adjustment. Just click the pencil-like icon and enjoy fun!

Step 4: Export a new and big file

When everything is done and you’re satisfied with the effect, you can start to export the new file. Just click “Convert” button. During this period time, you just need to wait. Drink a cup of coffee or doing some relaxed exercise isn’t a bad idea. The converting time depends on file’s size. Hope you are satisfied with the converting result and enjoy yourself!

Conclusion: The steps of merging MTS and M2TS files into one on Mac Yosemite are very easy, aren’t they? You can choose different output formats according to your devices as long as they can be supported very well for your various entertainment. I hope this article can do you a big favor!
