How to split video files
Open Video Splitter with one local video. Set the boundaries with time ranges, a fixed duration, markers, or embedded chapters, then review the clips before downloading one clip or several clips as a ZIP.
- Open Video Splitter and choose one local video.
- Choose the way you want to mark the cuts, such as time ranges, fixed duration, markers, or embedded chapters.
- Preview the boundaries and review the copy or re-encode decision.
- Download one clip, or download multiple clips as a ZIP.
Split video by time ranges, duration, or markers
Use a time range when you know the start and end of a clip. Choose a fixed duration for repeated sections. Markers let you place cuts while reviewing the video, and embedded chapters provide boundaries already stored in the file.
For example, 00:12:30 to 00:14:00 describes a two-minute section inside a longer recording. Add several ranges when you need several clips. During review, check the copy or re-encode decision before creating the output.
Review video split boundaries before downloading
Preview the boundaries before downloading. Check the start and end of each clip, then review the copy or re-encode decision shown for the output.
Embedded chapters can guide the split when their boundaries match your clips. Use time ranges or markers for different cuts. A fixed duration creates repeated segments with the same length.
What to do with the split clips
Download one clip when you need a single excerpt. Download multiple clips as a ZIP when one split creates a set of segments. The ZIP keeps those clips together.
