Splitting Videos for Engaging Projects

Splitting a video in Visme allows you to cut a single clip into two or more sections. This makes it easy to remove unwanted parts, rearrange segments, or apply different settings to each portion of your video. Whether you want to break a long video into shorter clips or highlight specific moments, the Split tool in the Animation Timeline gives you precise control over how your video plays in your project.

In the project editor, open the slide containing the video you want to split. Go to the top-left menu above the sidebar and select View Settings. From the dropdown, switch ON the Animation Timeline to display and edit all animations in your project.

When the timeline appears, you’ll see thumbnails of all your slides. Each thumbnail displays the slide name, duration, and transition icon, so you know exactly what’s on each slide. Click the Edit icon at the top-left corner of the timeline to open the advanced view, where you can see all animations, including videos.

Select the video in the timeline, then right-click at the point where you want to split it. Choose Split Video from the dropdown, and the clip will be divided into two separate parts in the timeline.

After splitting, use the sliders at the ends of each clip to fine-tune the sections. This lets you keep only the exact portion you want to display, ensuring your video fits seamlessly in your slide.

Note: If you’d like to remove extra footage from the start or end of your clip instead of dividing it into sections, check out our guide on Trimming Videos in Visme.
