Press the Record button (the one in the Advanced Controls panel with the red dot).Use the slider to get to where you want to start recording the new video.Make sure you can see the Advanced Controls ( View > Advanced Controls).If it starts playing automatically, pause it.
I also couldn’t find a way to save the recorded video as anything other than MP4-if anyone knows the VLC setting for that too, I’d be most grateful.) (If anyone knows how to cut or split a video file using VLC and without doing it in real time, let me know in the comments and I’ll test it and update this post with that information. If you have a very large file, you may have to do these steps twice or more, one for each section you want as a separate file. (Avidemux works for splitting a file see ). These notes are for me, for when I next need to do this (I always forget steps 7 and 8)! They are based on this CNET article in case it ever goes missing: and only apply to Windows.Īctually, the title of my post is a little misleading-as far as I can tell, you can’t split a video using VLC, but you CAN record sections of it, which is effectively the same.
