Montage: Stitch Multiple Long Videos For Cohesive Storytelling
Montage unlocks your ability to create high-impact moments and trailers from multiple long videos by combining them into a single long video (Montage). This is especially useful when you have lots of recordings and want to work with them as a single piece of content.
Here are some real-world use cases for marketers and sales teams:
Event Recordings → One Master Video
Example: You hosted a virtual summit with 15 sessions. Instead of sharing 15 separate links, you can create a single Montage that houses all sessions together.
Product Demos → Unified Storyline
Example: Your team ran three different demos (setup, integrations, reporting). With Montage, you can merge them into one polished demo video for prospects.
Training & Enablement → Centralized Content
Example: Training was spread across 6 separate calls. With Montage, you can combine them into one streamlined video that’s easier for employees or partners to consume.
Customer Stories → Industry-Specific Reels
Example: You have 4 customer testimonials from manufacturing clients. Montage lets you stitch them into one industry-specific reel, ready to share with new prospects.
Why Montage is Extra Powerful
Once you’ve created a Montage, you can go a step further: create "Moments” from across the Montage.
This means you can pull highlights from different videos (that were originally separate) into a single short clip or trailer.
- Without Montage, you’d only be able to create Moments from each video individually.
- With Montage, you can mix and match the best parts from all combined videos into one engaging highlight reel.
Important:
You can create a montage using any number of videos, as long as the total combined duration is 5 hours or less.
This limit ensures smooth performance, since editing montages longer than 5 hours can be very resource-intensive for your browser.
💡 Tip: If you have a large amount of footage, break it into smaller montages and then combine them.
Example:
Suppose your event had 20 sessions, each 30 minutes long.
- Create Montage 1 with the first 10 sessions.
- Create Montage 2 with the remaining 10 sessions.
- Download the outputs from both montages, upload them back into Parmonic, and create a new montage that combines them.
How to create a Montage?
Step 1: Log in to your Parmonic account and click on 'Create Montage'.
Step 2: Select the videos that you want to merge and click on 'Create Montage'.
Step 3: Give a title to the new video. The total duration of the combined videos is displayed at the bottom of the pop-up screen. You can go back and add new videos to this Montage till the total combined duration hits the 5 hour mark. Hit 'Create'.
Your Montage is ready.
