Are you looking for tools to merge MPG files into one? This post will show you how to combine multiple MPG files using an easy-to-use and feature-rich video editor - MiniTool MovieMaker, and it also offers a free MPG converter for you.
What Is an MPG File
Before we learn how to merge MPG files, let’s have a basic understanding of this file format.
An MPG file is a video file that uses a digital video format standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MPG files typically use MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 audio and video compression. MPEG-1 is one of the most widely used lossy video/audio formats, as it is accepted by many video and audio applications. MPEG-2 is considered an enhanced MPEG-1 format because it supports higher-resolution video.
MPG is commonly used for most video downloads, streaming videos, and digital video content distributed over the Internet.

Then, select the first clip, press the Shift key on your keyboard, select the last clip, and click the + icon on any clip to add them to the timeline simultaneously.
Step 3. Edit these clips.
1. Rearrange these clips: click and drag a clip to another place on the timeline to adjust the clips’ order.
2. Trim a clip: highlight it on the timeline and hover over the clip’s start or end point until a double-headed arrow appears. Click and drag this arrow to remove unwanted parts at the beginning or end of the video.
3. Edit a clip’s speed: click the clip on the timeline, click the Speed icon on the timeline toolbar, choose Slow or Fast, and pick the desired setting to decrease or increase the playback speed.
Alternatively, go to the Speed tab in Video Property and drag the Speed slider to change the clip’s speed. Also in Video Property, you can flip and rotate the video, adjust the clip’s color, or edit audio in the clip.
4. Crop a video: select the clip you want to crop on the timeline, click the Crop icon, then adjust the size and position of the red rectangle to choose which parts of the clip you want to save, and click OK to save changes.
5. Add a transition: go to Transitions at the top menu bar, browse these transitions and download or find the desired one. Drag the transition to the gap between any two video clips on the timeline. Next, edit the transition’s duration and mode.
Additionally, MiniTool MovieMaker lets you add title cards, captions, and end credits to make the final video more expressive and professional, adjust the clip’s tone by applying filters, decorate videos with frames, overlays, elements, etc., adjust the video aspect ratio, and more.
Step 4. Export the video.
Click the Export button in the top right corner, then give the file a name, and select the destination folder. By default, MiniTool MovieMaker exports videos as MP4 files. If you want to change it, open the Format drop-down list and choose from AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, WebM, etc.
Also, you can adjust the resolution, frame rate, and bitrate of the video. Finally, click the Export button to start merging these clips.
