## Overview

Segment trim and Split work with videos created through extension-based recording, video uploads, and presentation-based recording.

Select a segment, divide it into two with Split, or shorten it with Segment trim while reviewing scripts, durations, and Voice-over output.

## Split a segment

Select a segment, open the split configuration, choose the split point, and review the resulting segments and Voice-over.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the split configuration">
    Select the segment you want to divide, then choose **Split Segment** from the segment controls or right-click the segment and choose **Split** from the pop-up menu. The split configuration opens.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the split point">
    Adjust the slider to choose where the segment should split, then select **Apply**. The split point is set to the segment’s midpoint by default, and **Apply** divides the segment into two parts.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review segments and Voice-over">
    Review the two segments in the Segment list and Script box, then edit the script and play the segments back. The script is automatically distributed according to each segment’s duration; if playback reveals Voice-over clipping or incomplete audio, regenerate the Voice-over. The split segments function like other project segments, their duration adjusts automatically when Voice-over is generated, and a segment with no script remains empty.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Trim a segment

Use **Segment trim** to shorten a segment by setting its start and end points; you can also use **Split Segment** and **Trim Segment** with videos that have no Voice-over by adding scripts manually and generating a Voice-over for each segment.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the segment">
    Select the segment you want to shorten in the **Segment list**. The selected segment is ready for trimming.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the trim configuration">
    Select **Trim Segment** to open the trim configuration. The pop-up shows fields for the trim start and end points.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set trim points and apply">
    Set the trim start and end points, then select **Apply** to perform the **Trim**. The segment reflects its new duration, and the overall video duration updates automatically.

</Steps>

After applying **Trim**, follow the shared playback and Voice-over regeneration guidance in Split a segment, including when to regenerate the Voice-over and adjust the clip duration.
