Overview

The Video Split at Timestamps tool allows you to easily divide a video file into multiple segments by specifying precise time markers. Simply upload your video file and enter comma-separated timestamps in hh:mm:ss format to instantly cut your media into distinct, downloadable clips.

When to Use

  • •When you need to extract multiple specific scenes or highlights from a long recording or presentation.
  • •When you want to break down a long video lecture or webinar into shorter, topic-focused chapters.
  • •When you need to trim out unwanted sections by splitting the video at precise timestamps.

How It Works

  • •Upload your video file (up to 500MB) into the designated file input area.
  • •Enter your desired split points as a comma-separated list of timestamps using the hh:mm:ss or hh:mm:ss.ms format.
  • •Click the split button to process the video and download the resulting individual video segments.

Use Cases

Splitting a recorded Zoom meeting or webinar into individual presentation topics.
Extracting key highlights and gameplay clips from a long gaming stream recording.

Examples

1. Segmenting a Webinar Recording

Webinar Host
Background
A marketing host has a 1-hour webinar recording and wants to split it into three distinct segments based on the agenda topics.
Problem
The host needs to separate the introduction, the main presentation, and the Q&A session without using complex video editing software.
How to Use
Upload the webinar video file and enter '00:10:00,00:45:00' in the timestamps field to split the video at the 10-minute and 45-minute marks.
Example Config
timestamps: 00:10:00,00:45:00
Outcome
The tool outputs three separate video files: the intro (0 to 10 mins), the main presentation (10 to 45 mins), and the Q&A session (45 mins to the end).

2. Extracting Esports Match Highlights

Content Creator
Background
An esports content creator wants to extract two specific high-action moments from a 20-minute gameplay recording.
Problem
The creator needs to isolate the clips quickly by specifying the exact start and end times of the plays.
How to Use
Upload the gameplay video file and input the precise timestamps '00:04:15.500,00:04:45.000,00:12:30.000,00:13:15.000' to segment the video.
Example Config
timestamps: 00:04:15.500,00:04:45.000,00:12:30.000,00:13:15.000
Outcome
The video is split into five segments, allowing the creator to easily download and keep the specific highlight clips.
