3. Tap Movie.
   
   
4. Tap Media.
   
   
5. Tap Video.
   
   
6. If you want to see all of your videos, tap All. Otherwise, tap any specific folder containing the videos you want to merge.
   
   
7. Tap the first video clip you want to merge.
   
   
8. Tap the checkmark to add the selected video to your project. 
   
   
9. Select another video and tap the checkmark to add another video to your project.
10. Once you have added at least two video clips to your project, tap Create Movie to combine your video clips into a single file. 
    
    
11. Your video clips will now display as a single file with a transition between each clip. To adjust the transition, tap on the transition icon between clips.
    
    
12. Tap to select what type of transition effect you want between video clips.
    
    
13. You can also select a length of time to set how long you want the transition to be.
    
    
14. Tap Done to save the video in iMovie.
    
    
15. You can also tap the Share icon to send the file or save it to your Photos app library.
    
    
16. To save your combined video file in the Photos app library, tap Save Video. 
    
    

If you don't choose to save your video in the Photos app, you can always return to iMovie to find your video file. However, I always recommend saving your videos in the Photos app, as this keeps all your image and video files in one app.
