Sometimes you may have several segmented MOV (QuickTime) files, which may be from the same movie or captured from your digital camera etc. In this case, you probably want to merge these MOV files into one for playback on the computer or other devices more easily and efficiently.
To join MOV (QuickTime) files, you need a smart MOV joiner. There are only a few MOV file joiners that can handle MOV format and help you resolve MOV's incompatibility problem. Because MOV is an Apple format, it is restricted to be used on lots of apps and devices etc. Fortunately, Wondershare Filmora Video Editor (Filmora Video Editor for Mac) can handle all your problems. It enables you to easily combine MOV files into one and play the video creation smoothly on different mobile devices. Read on to get more information about this MOV merger, and then follow the guide below step by step.

2. Join MOV files
In this step, we need to drag these added MOV files (QuickTime) from the album to the Timeline of this MOV merger. And you need to follow the two important things below:
