Nodaro DocsSplit into Chunks
Cut a long video or audio file into equal-length chunks, as audio files and video clips, so you can transcribe, dub or transform each piece separately.
The Split into Chunks node cuts a video or an audio file into pieces of equal length. Every chunk comes out as a separate audio file and, when you split a video, as a separate video clip. Use it to break a long recording into manageable pieces before transcription, translation or per-clip generation.
When to use it
- Split a long podcast or interview into segments before you transcribe them with Transcribe.
- Divide a long video into scene-length clips that you process separately.
- Break a recording into equal parts for Dubbing or Voice Changer, then join the results again with Combine Videos.
- Cut source footage into 5-second clips that you transform one by one.
Quick start
Add the node
Press Tab on the canvas and choose Video › Cut & Assemble › Split into Chunks.
Connect the media
Wire a video into the Video input, or an audio file into the Audio input.
Set the chunk length
Open the settings panel. Set Chunk Duration (seconds) and choose an Audio Format.
Run it and choose a chunk
Click Run on the node. The chunks appear in the settings panel. Choose the chunk to pass on under Output Chunk.
Inputs
| Input | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Video nodes, such as Upload Video and Generate Video | A video to split. |
| Audio | Audio nodes, such as Upload Audio and Reference Audio | An audio file to split. |
Connect at least one input. With both inputs connected, the node splits the audio file and the video independently.
Outputs
| Output | What it carries |
|---|---|
| Video | The selected video chunk, when a video is connected. |
| Audio | The selected audio chunk. |
Settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chunk Duration (seconds) | The length of each chunk. The default is 10 seconds, and the minimum is 1 second. |
| Audio Format | The file type of the audio chunks: MP3 (the default), WAV or AAC. |
| Output Chunk | Appears after a successful run. Choose Chunk 1, Chunk 2 and so on: the selected chunk is the one that flows to connected nodes. |
Download the chunks
After a run, the settings panel lists the Audio Chunks and, for a video, the Video Chunks. Every chunk stays in these lists, whatever you choose under Output Chunk. Use Select All or Deselect All to choose chunks, then click Download to save them.
Credits
Split into Chunks costs 20 credits per run, whatever the number of chunks.
Tips
- Choose the format for the job. WAV keeps lossless quality. AAC gives smaller files, for example for mobile delivery.
- Pick the chunk that moves on. Output Chunk only changes which chunk flows to the next node. All chunks stay available for download.
- Cut one part only. To take a single section of a video instead of equal pieces, use Trim Video.
