How to Split file into scenes after it was imported
Step 1: Placing video to the storyboard
 |
To start placing the imported video to the storyboard please click the Create Video icon in the Edit Movie menu pane. |
After that you will find the Media Library items and clips present in the highlighted item in the Media Library and the Workspace displayed in the Storyboard mode. Working in this mode you can add or remove video clips to your project, change the sequence of clips at the storyboard, trim video clips added to your project.
To add video to the storyboard please use drag-and-drop method: drag the desired video icon from the Media Library to the Storyboard . In our example you should add VideoClip_1 to the Storyboard :

After that you can split the video in the Timeline mode .
Step 2: Splitting the video in Timeline mode
-
To split the already imported file into scenes you should switch into the Timeline mode. For that click the Video Effects button in the Edit Movie menu pane.

-
After that locate the position you want your video clip to be splitted at and move the Timeline cursor to it. It is very convenient to use the Main Preview for that. Click the Show/Hide Preview button to open the Main Preview window.

You can use the Timeline cursor or the Main Preview seeking bar to navigate through your video. When the desired place is found, you should set a marker at this point.
-
After that, please click the Split/Delete button . Then AVS Video Editor will automatically take you to the Storyboard view where your input video clip will be represented as two clips: the first one will contain video information from the beginning till the cursor position, and the second one - from the cursor position till the end of your input video clip.

If you want to split your clip in more than one place, you should repeat the whole procedure all over again:
-
Click the Video Effects button in the Edit Movie menu pane.
-
Select the exact place where you would like to split your video.
-
Click the Split/Delete button .
You can repeat this procedure as many times as you need, until you split your video into all the scenes you need.
You can also do the same using the Markers :
-
Click the Video Effects button in the Edit Movie menu pane.
-
Select the Markers tab in the right bottom corner of the program.
-
Set the markers to the places where you would like to split your video - click with the mouse cursor to the exact place and select Add in the Markers tab.

-
After you add all the markers you need, double-click the first one (or click it once and after that press the Go To button) and click the Split/Delete button .
-
You will be taken to the Storyboard view where your input video clip will be represented as two clips: the first one will contain video information from the beginning till the cursor position, and the second one - from the cursor position till the end of your input video clip. To repeat the action for the other cursors you should click the Video Effects button in the Edit Movie menu pane and take Step 4 over again.
Note: do not forget that you will need to click the Video Effects button in the Edit Movie menu pane every time you want to split your video, as it can be only done in the Timeline mode.
