Collect and edit

When I record a long video, I get cut in parts of 4 GB.
Do you know any simple tutorial to join and edit them all together with Vegas?

Therefore you don't need a tutorial, probably you have Vegas.
With every Vegasprogram you have also a timeline with tracks on which you can join your video parts.
If you tell us with which camera exactly was used to record the video, maybe we can tell you a better way to join all the cutted parts before you use them in Vegas.

Hi, I have a panasonic hc-vx1 camera, but I not only want to join the videos, I also want to edit them at the same time.
I am not very expert with Vegas, but I think it would be better to do everything in one step so as not to lose quality.

Ideally, in a long 12 GB video, the camera will not separate into 3 videos of 4 GB, but I think that is unfortunately not possible.

For that reason I prefer to join and edit in one step.

I've had this problem in the past.

Very long videos that are recorded without interruption are usually split into multiple files.

Use the software that comes with your camcorder to transfer the videos to your computer. He will automatically join the split parts.

Here, for example, I use the Play Memories Home software to transfer the video files to my computer.

Another alternative is to use Vegas Device Explorer which will do the same thing.

Thanks, I do not remember that a software for this came with my camcorder, if anyone knows it, it is appreciated.

I've also seen this video tutorial, but I don't have the option to add the videos ...

That option is available in all Vegas Pro versions, but if you don't connect that camera with its files trough USB with your computer it shows nothing. You have to connect your camera with inside it the card with the video's.
Maybe you should read the manual i.s.o. only looking to YT video's.

@riu If supported by your camera, try to format the card to exFat. Theorically it allows you to recording without split.

I tried exfat, but my camera doesn't know the card.

True, I will try connecting the card as I have seen in some videos.
