You may have seen some movie mashup videos on YouTube. They usually mix multiple film shots. The quick series of footage with the right music is very eye-catching.
Usually, we call them video mashups. According to Wikipedia, a video mashup combines multiple pre-existing video sources with no discernible relation with each other into a unified video.
So, how to make a movie mashup video?
There are two parts to making the movie mashup video. Get the desired video clips first, and then edit them into one video.
If you already have the movie clips ready, you can skip directly to the video editing part.
Before making it, you need to conceive what type of video to make. Then you can find the matching movie according to the video style. For example, is it mainly funny? Or is it a collection featuring a certain actor or action scenes?
Once you have an idea, you can start making the mashup video.

Once you get the movie resources you need, you can start the mashup video editing. Here we use a mashup video maker – YouTube Movie Maker for video editing, which supports all video formats. It is easy to edit all kinds of videos.
First, you need to add the movie video file you just ripped to YouTube Movie Maker. Then cut out the segment we want through YouTube Movie Maker.
For example, we only need 10 seconds to 13 seconds of the current movie.
We can right-click on the video in the timeline and select Cut Selected Item. In the pop-up window, cut the video by setting the start time and end time.
When the cutting is finished, click Render button to output the video for standby.
And so on, cut all the movie clips you want to use.
After that, re-import all the cut videos into YouTube Movie Maker.

If you think a clip doesn’t fit, you can adjust it again during the editing process.
You can also add transition effects between clips, and put background music to the whole video. If you don’t know where to find the right music, you can refer to this article: 10 Best Sites to Download Free Music and Sound Effects.
