Why You Need This
Long recordings such as lectures, webinars, or gameplay sessions often need to be divided into shorter, more manageable clips. Splitting makes it easier to share specific sections on social media, organize content into chapters, or remove unwanted portions from the middle of a recording.
Traditional desktop software can handle this, but installing and learning a full non-linear editor is overkill when all you need is a simple split. Online tools that require uploading are impractical for large files that may be several gigabytes.
FastCut Pro offers a multi-segment workflow that runs entirely in your browser. You place as many split markers as you like on the timeline, preview each segment, and export them all at once. Because everything happens locally, even 4K footage is processed without an upload step.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Open fastcut.cc and load your video by clicking the import area or dragging the file in.
- Step 2: Play the video or scrub the timeline to the point where you want the first split.
- Step 3: Press the Split button or hit the S key to place a split marker at the current playhead position.
- Step 4: Repeat for every additional split point. You can add as many markers as you need.
- Step 5: Review each segment in the segment list. Rename them or delete any segments you do not want to keep.
- Step 6: Click Export All. FastCut Pro will generate one file per segment and download them as a batch.
