    Yes I want to merge several separate .movs that have their own extensive subtitles. I have tried to use media converters as well as FCPX BUT THE TEXT tracks are just not recognized when I try to merge the videos. The video tracks merge and play fine, but the text tracks of the subtitling disappear. These are 5 long (hour) .movs with extensive subtitling to follow the lectures, each which displays fine on their own, burt the subtitling disappears when I merge the files into one long movie (which using media converter is an .mp4)

    I am a mac user and I have QT pro 7
    The question is merging
    I could try just pasting one after another into a file
    Thank you for trying to help
    I was hoping for an automated merge program but I will try manually adding each video to the one berore in QT and see if the subtitles survive. Why not?

    I don't know about sub-tittles, but you can try MpegStreamClip or this post: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/368314-Merge-mp4-files-without-reencoding-with-Virt...=1#post2359558

    It should work for mov just like mp4.
    Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........

    In FCPX did you try editing each clip into it's own sequence, then edit the sequences together -- not the clips?
