What are MP4 video files?

An MP4, also known as an MPEG-4 video file, is a compressed file that contains not only video but audio and subtitles. One of the more popular video formats for both desktop and mobile devices, MP4 files have a high degree of compression, which reduces quality loss and produces smaller file sizes. This makes the MP4 format ideal for streaming video and other larger media files.

 

Whether you want to make a slideshow featuring footage you captured on different cameras or a highlight reel composed of your favourite sports clips, Adobe Premiere Pro makes it quick and simple for any video editor to combine MP4 files.

Make your own merged video.

Compile the MP4 videos you would like for your video and then drag and drop your video clips into the timeline to get started. In the workstream, you can combine videos in the Quick Exports panel in Premiere Pro or through the Export Media option in the File menu.

Select either the default export settings or use presets designed to help with video quality, aspect ratio, encoding and other specifications of social media sites like Instagram or YouTube.

 

If you’re not satisfied with the default settings, explore other presets like resolution and bitrate to customise your MP4 clip in any way you would like.

step

After you click Export, name your project and decide where your output file will live, whether it’s on your desktop or another specific destination for quick access.
