How to combine several videos into one on a Xiaomi phone: MIUI capcut

Shooting videos on Xiaomi smartphones has long ceased to be a problem – modern models like Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Redmi Note 13 Pro+ Recording the video in resolution before 8K. But what if you want to combine multiple clips into a single file, like gluing together parts of a concert separated by a pause, or putting together pieces from different days into a single video?

Many users mistakenly believe that you need a computer or professional software like Adobe Premiere to edit. MIUI They allow you to perform basic operations with video — and with the help of third-party applications you can achieve results no worse than on a PC. In this article, we will analyze 5 proven ways to connect video directly on a Xiaomi phone, including hidden shell functions and little-known life hacks.

Important: All methods work on devices with MIUI 12 and later (including HyperOS), but some apps may require additional permissions.If your smartphone is released before 2019 (like the Redmi Note 7), check compatibility ahead of time.

1. Standard editor MIUI: latent

The easiest way to glue a video on Xiaomi is to use the built-in editor in the Gallery app. It supports basic editing without installing additional software, but has limitations: the maximum duration of the final video is 30 minutes, and the resolution does not exceed 1080p (even if the source in 4K).

To get started:

1. Open the gallery and select the first video file.
2. Slip on the icon "Edit" (pencil in the bottom menu).
3. In the upper right corner, press "More» → «Unite».
4. Check the remaining videos (up to 10 files at a time) and confirm the action.

After the merger, you will be able to:

• 🎬 Add transitions between clips (3 standard effects).
• 🎵 Overlay music from Xiaomi library or local files.
• ✂️ Cut the beginning/end of each fragment before gluing.
• 📝 Add text inscriptions (fonts are limited to 5 options).

⚠️ Note: when you save the final video through a standard editor, metadata (date of shooting, geotagged) is lost. If it is critical, use alternative methods.

Make sure all files are in one folder

Check orientation (album / book) - you can not correct after gluing

Cut off unnecessary fragments in advance

Keep backup copies of the originals-->

2. CapCut: Professional mounting on the phone

CapCut (from TikTok developers) is a free version of Adobe Premiere Rush with multi-track editing support, perfect for gluing videos to Xiaomi if you need:

• 🎥 Support 4K 60 FPS.
• 🎛️ Adjustment of the reproduction rate (from 0.1x before 100x).
• 🎨 Transition effects (more than 50 options).
• 🔊 Separate track for sound with mixing capability.

Instructions for gluing:

1. Install CapCut from Google Play (to use the POCO/Xiaomi Without Google services download APK APKCombo).
2. Click on “New Project” and select a video (maximum 15 files at a time).
3. Drag the clips to the timeline in the right order.
4. Use the “Tear” tool (scissors) for precise docking.
5. Export with the settings “Quality: Original” and “Resolution: Auto”.

CapCut Automatically Optimizes Bitrate for Xiaomi: When Exported to Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with Dimensity 1080 processor rendering 4K-Video takes up 30% less time than Snapdragon 7xx.

💡

In CapCut, you can save your project to the cloud and continue editing on another device. To do this, click on Cloud Project in the main menu. The feature is only available when you log in via phone number or TikTok.

3. InShot: Fast gluing with effects

InShot is an alternative to CapCut with a simplified interface but enhanced social media capabilities, and it's suitable if you need to:

• 📱 Quickly glue videos for Instagram Reels or TikTok (automatic clipping for 9:16, 1:1 formats).
• 🎭 Add stickers, memes or GIF-animation.
• 🔊 Remove the original sound and replace it with tracks from the library (more than 5,000 free songs).

Feature InShot for Xiaomi: the application is optimized for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors and shows better performance on devices like POCO F5 Xiaomi 12T. On phones with MediaTek Helio (e.g. Redmi) 10A) Possible lags when working with 4K.

Step-by-step:

1. Download InShot.
2. Select "Video» → «New and import files.
3. Click "Unite" (plus icon between clips).
4. Add transitions: "Effects» → «Transitions (we recommend "Smooth" or "Zoom»).
5. Export with the “No watermark” settings (requires viewing of advertisements).

⚠️ Note: InShot by default compresses video to 30 Mbps, which can degrade the quality on Xiaomi with good cameras (e.g. Xiaomi) 13 Pro shoots in 8K@24fps bitrate 100 To avoid losses, manually set the “Quality: High” setting before saving.

4. KineMaster: for advanced users

KineMaster is the only mobile app that supports keyframe animation and chromakey. This is the best choice if you need:

• 🎥 Overlay video PIP (picture).
• 🎚️ Adjust the volume of the sound on the timeline.
• 🖌️ Add handwritten notes or drawings over the video.

The minus of KineMaster is the watermark on the free version, and you'll either have to pay a subscription to remove it (~300₽/months), or use workarounds (e.g., crop edges in another editor).

How to make a video in KineMaster:

1. Install the application and allow access to the files.
2. Create a new project with a resolution that matches your clips (e.g, 1920×1080 full HD).
3. Import videos to the timeline by dragging them in the right order.
4. Use the Separation tool (scissors) to cut off unnecessary fragments.
5. Add transitions: "Effects» → «Transitions» → «3D» (We recommend "Cube" or "Sphere»).
6. Export with the “Bitrate: 50 Mbps” settings to maintain quality.

5. VivaVideo: for creative projects

VivaVideo specializes in themed templates - ready-made editing styles for travel, weddings, vlogs, etc. If you need to quickly glue videos with professional design, this is the best choice.

• 🎨 200+ templates with automatic editing (suffice it to choose a theme and download clips).
• 🎶 AI-music selection.
• 📸 Effects of low-mo and reverse (replaying).

Disadvantage: the free version limits the project duration to 5 minutes. For Xiaomi with a large screen (for example, Xiaomi Pad 6), this is not critical, but on compact models like POCO X3 timeline.

Gluing algorithm:

1. Install VivaVideo.
2. Select “Temples” or “Manual installation”.
3. Download the videos and place them on the timeline.
4. Apply transitions: “Effects» → «Transitions» → «Dynamic».
5. Export with permission «1080p» (maximum for the free version).

💡

VivaVideo automatically stabilizes video when exported, which is useful for clips shot on Xiaomi with a handheld camera (for example, the Redmi Note 12 Pro without a gyroscope).

6. Alternative methods: without installing applications

If you don’t want to download additional programs, there are two ways to glue videos to Xiaomi without them:

Method 1: Google Photos

• 📁 Upload the video to Google Photos.
• 🎬 Open the first clip and click "Edit» → «Video» → «Create».
• 🔗 Add the remaining files and click "Done».

⚠️ Google Photos Compresses Video to 1080p It limits the final video to 15 minutes, and it also requires a stable Internet connection to download it.

Some bots on Telegram (for example, @VideoEditBot) Allows you to glue the video directly into the messenger:

1. Send the bot a command. /merge.
2. Download the video (maximum 5 files of 50 MB each).
3. Confirm the glue and download the result.

Cons: Low quality of the final file (compression to 720p) and size limitation.
