04 / GOOD TO KNOW
A few
finer cuts.
The details, before you drop.
What does Breaker do?
Breaker splits one video into consecutive clips of a length you choose. Drop in an MP4, MOV, or M4V, pick 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or a custom length, and slice. It’s built for quick splits, without setting up a video-editing project.
What’s the difference between Fast and Precise?
Fast copies your original video and audio without re-encoding, preserving source quality. Cut boundaries can follow keyframes. Precise uses the Mac’s hardware encoder to re-encode for frame-exact cuts. HEVC and HDR footage keeps its HEVC format, 10-bit color, and HDR.
Does my footage leave my Mac?
No. Video processing happens locally with AVFoundation. Breaker does not upload your footage. The app’s only network activity is its Sparkle software-update check.
Which Macs and video formats are supported?
Breaker requires an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or newer) running macOS 15 Sequoia or later. It accepts MP4, MOV, and M4V files.
What happens to the last clip?
If your video doesn’t divide evenly, the last clip contains the remaining footage. A leftover shorter than one second is folded into the previous clip, so you don’t end up with a tiny sliver.
Is Breaker available to download?
The free beta download is coming soon. The public installer hasn’t been published yet. This website’s interactive preview lets you explore the workflow in the meantime.
