Split Long Recordings into Separate Projects

Break long screen recordings into focused clips. Select a range on the timeline and create a new project with one click.

Long screen recordings are great for capturing everything, but sometimes you need to break them into shorter, focused videos. With Split Project, you can select any portion of your timeline and turn it into a standalone project — no re-recording needed.

How It Works

There are two ways to split:

Option+Drag on Timeline

  1. Hold Option and drag across the timeline to highlight a range
  2. Right-click the selection → "Split Selection into New Project"
  3. A sheet opens with the range pre-filled — adjust if needed
  4. Click "Split Project" and choose where to save

Split Sheet

  1. Click the timeline selection icon in the toolbar (next to Export)
  2. Drag the start and end handles to define your range
  3. Click "Split Project"

What Gets Included

The new project isn't just a raw clip — it carries over everything from the original:

  • Video clips — trimmed precisely to the selected range
  • Zoom regions — adjusted to the new timeline
  • Annotations — text, shapes, and blur masks within the range
  • Speed regions — preserved with correct timing
  • Style settings — background, padding, border radius, shadow, brand kit
  • Camera overlay, device frame, cursor, and keyboard settings

Use Cases

  • Tutorial series — record one long session, split into chapters
  • Bug reports — extract the relevant 30 seconds from a 10-minute recording
  • Social clips — pull short highlights for Twitter/LinkedIn
  • Client deliverables — split a demo recording into per-feature videos

Also in This Update

  • HEVC export — switched from H.264 to H.265 for better gradient quality and smaller files
  • Bilinear rendering — Metal shaders now use smooth interpolation, eliminating pixelation in exports
  • Bug fixes — zoom/annotation adding, suspended account handling

Update to v1.0.20 to start splitting projects.
