Know the boundaries before you run.

Segment duration must be between 1 and 3600 seconds.
A job can create at most 50 segments.
The final segment can be shorter than the requested duration.

About split video

Yes. KinoPipe re-encodes and forces keyframes at the requested interval so every segment starts at a valid boundary.

The final file contains the remaining source duration after all full-length segments.

The completed job includes an outputs array with a filename, media type, byte size and signed download URL for each segment.
