1. Open the source video(AVI, DivX, MPEG, WMV or ASF files) and set the ‘Save Directory’.

2. Select the option ‘Split the Source File Automatically’.

3. Now you have three different ways of cutting automatically:

Limit each clip to a specified size (in MB)

Limit each clip to a specified duration (seconds) or

Split into a specified number of parts

4. Choose one of the options, and enter the corresponding value.

5. Now click the Check Mark button. The start and end markers are automatically added to the video. For instance, selecting the split into 4 parts option resulted in Easy Video Splitter automatically dividing the video into 4 equal sized parts.

6. Now click the ‘Split’ button to save the video parts to your Computer.
