Long recording into ordered clips
Mark topic ranges in one source video, then export selected clips with predictable filenames.
Split Video
Split one video into multiple clips by markers, duration, count, or custom ranges, then export selected segments as files or a ZIP.
Read the full guidePractical guide
Use Split Video when one longer recording needs to become multiple downloadable clips in the browser. Upload a webinar, screen recording, demo, social video, or direct video URL, mark the parts you want, then export ordered clips in a ZIP. If you only need one excerpt, trim the video instead of creating multiple segments.

Where this fits
Break a webinar into shareable chapters
Set markers around each topic, deselect any dead air, then export the chapter clips. After the split, compress the clips if they need to fit a course platform or team chat upload limit.
Cut a long screen recording into support snippets
Use exact From and To ranges for each bug reproduction, setup step, or feature walkthrough so teammates can open the relevant moment without scrubbing a long file.
Create equal clips for review or social experiments
Duration and count modes are useful when you need consistent clip lengths. Once the best segment is picked, pull a thumbnail for the cover image.
Separate source takes before assembling a new edit
Split a raw recording into usable sections first, then merge selected clips into a shorter rough cut.
How to use Split Video
- 1Load the source videoChoose a local MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, or another browser-readable video file. URL mode works only when the remote server allows direct browser access.
- 2Choose a split modeUse Add Split for hand-picked ranges, duration for repeating intervals, count for equal parts, or custom markers when the cuts are not evenly spaced.
- 3Set From and To boundariesType precise timestamps or adjust the segment controls so every exported clip starts and ends where the viewer expects.
- 4Review the segment listRename or deselect clips before export. This is the best place to remove countdowns, mistakes, or empty sections.
- 5Export and downloadPick format, resolution, quality, and audio behavior, then download individual clips or the ZIP with ordered filenames.
Practical notes
Use trimming when there is only one keeper
Splitting is for multiple outputs. If the job is one clean excerpt from a longer source, Video Trimmer keeps the workflow simpler.
Leave a small handle around spoken clips
For interviews and tutorials, start a fraction before the first word and end after the final pause so the exported segment does not feel clipped.
Export settings affect every selected clip
Resolution, quality, format, and audio settings apply to the current export batch. Use a smaller preset when many clips need to upload quickly.
Each selected segment becomes its own file
The export renders every selected segment separately and also prepares a ZIP so the clips stay grouped with ordered filenames.
Direct URLs need browser access
URL mode works only for direct video files that allow CORS and Range requests. Video pages, private dashboards, and restricted CDNs usually block browser-side processing.
Long video breakdown workflow
A practical split workflow starts with rough sectioning, then finishes the clips that will actually be published or shared.
Questions worth checking
Are local videos uploaded when I split them?
No. Local files are decoded, split, encoded, zipped, and downloaded in your browser. URL mode reads the remote file only when that server allows direct browser access.
Which split mode should I choose?
Use Add Split for exact From/To clips, duration for recurring intervals such as 30-second clips, and count when you want a chosen range divided into equal parts.
Can I export only part of the original video?
Yes. Set the From and To range before creating segments. The tool only exports the selected segment ranges, not the entire original file.
Can I export only some of the generated segments?
Yes. Use the segment list checkboxes to select only the clips you want before exporting.
Why does the tool create a ZIP file?
A split operation usually creates multiple clips. A ZIP keeps those files together with ordered filenames and works reliably across browsers.
Why can a video URL fail?
The link must point directly to a video file and allow CORS plus Range requests. Video pages and private CDNs usually block browser-side processing.
Why can export take a while?
Each selected clip is decoded and encoded again. Longer videos, higher resolutions, many segments, and slower devices need more processing time.
