## Definition

A video montage is an editing technique that combines multiple short clips into a sequence to convey the passage of time, compress a process, or build an emotional narrative.

## Extended Definition

Montages are a foundational filmmaking technique dating back to early cinema. In modern content creation, montages are used for recap videos, transformation reveals, travel compilations, product showcases, and training sequences. Effective montages use rhythm (cutting to music beats), visual variety (alternating shot types and angles), and pacing (shorter clips build energy, longer clips create calm). Social media montages are particularly popular for before/after content, day-in-the-life videos, and travel content. The technique works well with short-form video because it packs maximum visual variety into limited duration.
