YouTube Movie Maker (Windows)
YouTube Movie Maker is an all-purpose video maker. It can split various video files, including MP4. Its built-in MP4 splitter makes it easy to split a video into many parts. After the split, you can also edit each video. Like adding text, music, animation, special effects, and so on.
Step 1: Open the YouTube Movie Maker and add the video into the software.
Step 2: Right-click on the video and add it to the video line.
Step 3: Split the video. Here are two ways to choose according to the actual situation.
One drags the timeline above the video, drag to where you want to split. Then right-click on the video, choose “split here”.
The other option is to right-click on the video and choose “split selected item”. Then fill in the corresponding parameters in the pop-up dialog box.
The dialog box has three options.
The first is to fill in the time to split, the video will be split into two videos.

The third is to split the video into several parts on average.
These options can be tailored to your specific needs. If you want to continue to split, repeat the third step.
