1. Video Splitting


Video Splitting

You will see the "Split" button . Next up is selecting the splitting settings, A great feature of dicsoft software is that one can predefine multiple "parts" or clips before doing the actual cutting. Click "Add Segment" button.
Add Segment
After clicking the "Add Segment" button, you will see "segment 01" appear, For each clip we want to cut, we first select the "start" position of that clip by Moving the slider "A" to jump to the selected frame. Moving the slider "B" to jump to the selected the appropriate end position.

Select Frame
Click "Add Segment" button again. you will see the new number "segment 02" appear . Repeat this process for all cuts you want to make. In this example I selected 2 pieces of the movie file - this will generate 2 clips.
Note: Clips CAN overlap! Which is just fine, the program will deal with it as it should. Overlap is actually a pretty good idea when for example cutting an MPEG movie into 2 VideoCD's.
