# Join takes into one video

Add another video or an image as a new piece, reorder pieces by dragging, and choose a transition at each join: a cut, a dissolve, a wipe, a slide and more.

Where to find it: Video editor › Pro › Timeline › Video

## Add a piece

1. In Pro, press **+** on the timeline and choose **Another video or an image**.
2. Choose a video or a picture file. It joins the end of the footage as its own piece. A picture makes a still piece, such as a title card.
3. Drag a piece left or right to reorder it. A line shows where it will land.

## Choose a transition

Each join between two pieces has a small chip. Click it to choose:

- **Cut**: Straight from one to the next.
- **Dissolve**: One fades through the other.
- **Fade**: Through black or white.
- **Wipe and Slide**: The next piece travels in, left, right, up or down.
- **Zoom and Whip**: A camera-like move between the two.

- **Where it plays**: **Before** the join, **Across** it, half over each piece, or **After** it.
- **Length**: how long the transition takes.
- **Join into one piece** makes two pieces from the same take one again.

> **Tip:** To export one piece on its own, pick it, then open the arrow beside **Export**. See [Export one piece](https://pointercam.com/help/export-one-piece).
