Using Automatic Recording File Splitting

Recording an entire streaming session as a single file can lead to excessive file sizes over time and also make post-editing cumbersome and inefficient.

The Automatic File Splitting feature addresses this issue by automatically dividing recorded video files based on specific events, such as elapsed time, scene transitions, or hotkeys.

Each segmented file is saved with a filename that includes the recording’s start time timestamp, making it easier to organize content and quickly locate key moments for further use.

To enable Automatic File Splitting, click the Settings icon in the lower-left corner.

In Settings, select the Output tab and set Output Mode to Advanced.

Under the Recording section, locate the Automatic File Splitting option and check the box to enable it.

There are three options available:

• Split by Time : Automatically splits recordings at fixed intervals. You can set the split duration in minutes. (e.g., "every 15 minutes")

• Split by Size : Automatically splits recordings when the file reaches a specified size. You can define the maximum file size in MB. (e.g., "2048 MB")

• Only split manually : Does not perform automatic splitting, but allows you to manually split the recording using a hotkey.

Regardless of which option you choose, you can still use the file splitting hotkey to split recordings at any desired moment.

When the setting is done, click Apply to save your settings.

You can find the file splitting hotkey under the Hotkeys section by searching for "Split Recording File". No default hotkey is pre-defined, so assign any key combination you prefer.
