How to add movie to my ipad on different computer without losing songs?

I keep my ipad organized using my desktop computer. But when I travel I use my laptop, which doesn't maintain the same music library as my desktop. I want to add movies to my ipad from my laptop without losing the songs on my ipad. Any suggestions?

iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi, Cellular

Assuming the same AppleID is used on both devices, copy the movie from the laptop

to the desktop and then sync to the iPad. You cannot sync with 2 different libraries

at the same time - if you try, one being synced will replace the one already there.

Thanks, but perhaps you didn't understand my question. If I'm at home with my desktop, obviously there is no problem. But what about when I on the road, without access to my desktop? I was hoping there might be some workaround. Thx!
