video-chapter-splitter is a tool that automatically splits videos into chapters. It uses the text in subtitles to find where each chapter should start and end. This means you get precise cuts based on the content of the video. It is helpful for people who want to organize long videos into smaller parts without manual editing.
This program works with videos that have subtitle files included or separate subtitle files in common formats like SRT.
To use video-chapter-splitter on Windows, your computer needs:
- Windows 10 or later

- 500 MB of free disk space
- A video file with subtitles (internal or external .srt files)

If you want, you can adjust the chapter marks manually by dragging them left or right.
Before splitting, pick where to save the new video chapters. You can also select the chapter format, such as:
- Separate video files for each chapter
- A video with embedded chapters (for players that support it)
Set the output folder or keep the default.
