Split M4V

1) Sign up for Descript for free and log in to your account. You have 1 free hour of transcription per month. No credit card is required.

2) Upload your M4V file to Descript by dragging and dropping it into the project window.

3) After Descript finishes transcribing, click "Show Timeline" in the bottom left and select the "Blade" tool to split your scene.

4) When you're ready to export, use the "Select" tool to highlight your newly split scene. Click on "Publish" to find the Export button, and change the export option from "Current composition" to "Current selection".

5) Repeat the export for any additional scenes and double check that the exported file contains only the spliced scenes you want to keep.

• Precise Editing: Splitting allows for exact cuts, ensuring you only keep the scenes you need.
• Improved File Management: Smaller, split files are easier to organize and store.
• Enhanced Sharing: Share only the relevant parts of your video without sending the entire file.
• Faster Processing: Working with smaller segments speeds up rendering and exporting times.
• Targeted Content Creation: Create specific clips for different platforms or audiences from a single M4V file.

• Use High-Quality Source Files: Ensure your M4V files are of high quality to avoid degradation during the splitting process.
• Leverage Keyboard Shortcuts: Familiarize yourself with Descript's keyboard shortcuts to speed up the splitting and editing process.
• Preview Before Splitting: Always preview your M4V file to identify the exact points where you want to make cuts.
• Maintain Consistent Frame Rates: Keep the frame rate consistent across all split segments to avoid playback issues.
• Check Audio Sync: After splitting, verify that the audio remains in sync with the video to ensure a seamless viewing experience.
