iMyFone Filme: How to Split Videos into Multiple Parts (No Download Required)

What is better, shooting videos one long video or multiple videos which may entice the interest of targeted audience and keep them hooked to the screens till end?

The answer is obvious, the views on the video is inversely proportional to the length of it. Audience would prefer to watch smaller videos on different topics rather than finding their relevant topic on hit and trial basis on the video timeline.

Split video via Windows’ built-in Photos & Videos app:

Microsoft Windows standard Photos app lets one trim and split videos and save the selected portion of the video clip to a new file. You do not need to rely on any third-party software, as the Photos app is able to handle your required task perfectly.

Following steps are involved in the process:

  • Right-click on a video file which needs splitting, click “Open with” and choose Photos.
  • Click the Trim button appearing on top menu bar of Photos App.

  • On the next screen, select the portion of the video you need to be split into a new smaller video, by moving the start and end sliders accordingly.
  • Save the selected portion of the video to a separate file, by clicking “Save a copy”.

  • Rename the trimmed file accordingly. For example: Part 1
  • Reopen the original video, choose another time segment from the video and split it for further parts. Let’s say Part 2
  • Repeat the above sequence for subsequent trim or splits — part 3, part 4, and so forth.

Additional Tip:You can annotate videos using the Draw tool from available in Photos App. However, there is no text tool though which is a big disappointment.
