How to Use the Magic Split Feature

In this article, we’ll show you how to use the Magic Split feature to automatically divide your uploaded video into chapters (video steps)- based on its content.

Updated this week

Magic Split makes editing long videos effortless by automatically dividing them into chapters based on their content. Whether you're starting a Guidde by uploading a video, or working with an existing one, this smart feature saves you time by identifying key moments and creating structured sections for you - just like that.

  • Available only on the Enterprise Plan

Automatic Chapter Creation

When you enable automatic chapter creation in your Brand Kit, Magic Split will automatically split your uploaded video into chapters (video steps) as it uploads.

Upload a video

The Magic Split feature is tailored for uploaded videos over three minutes in length, that feature audio (various languages supported). It analyzes the content, automatically dividing the video into topic based chapters.

Navigate to the Guidde home page, and find the "New" button at the top right corner.

Start at Home

Click on "New" and select the "Video" option.

Upload a Video

As your video uploads, a loading indicator will display the progress.

Loader

Once your video upload is complete, simply click on "Review" to access the Guidde that has been generated.

Review

Your new Guidde will open in a new tab. You'll see the uploaded video has already been split into chapters.

Click "Edit Video" to enter the Guidde editor.

Your Guidde

In the editor, you'll see that your video has been split into video steps, accompanied by a title that reflects the content within. You can now edit the titles, or the video steps created.

Uploaded video as chapters
  • Step titles are currently generated in English only, regardless of the original video language. Support for titles in additional languages is coming soon.

  • Uploading a video as a Guidde is available on the Business and Enterprise plans.

Manual Chapter Creation

If you did not enable automatic chapter creation in your Brand Kit, your uploaded video will not be split into multiple video steps. Instead, it will appear as one video step, sandwiched between a cover and an ending.
