Splitting scenes will allow users to cut a scene at a specific desired moment to shorten part of one scene and make a second entirely new scene.
The scene types that can be split are:
- Title scenes
- Image scenes
- Video scenes
Cutaway scenes cannot be split.
Note: The new scene must be longer than 0.5 seconds.
