The new "split" button is working great! Thank you!

I've viewed a number of shows where the commercial skipping has been so good that if the message that the skip was happening was not there it would look like a there was a normal fade to black, fade back in edit in the video. Someday we might be at the point that the commercial skipping message is not needed and could be made optional.
Thank you for the superb work Eric.

wanted to take this opportunity to point out that 'Play Next' does not recognize a show as watched if you do not let the count down finish and even then sometimes there is 1sec still showing unwatched.
@eric The Split feature is really cool.
That got me thinking. Would you consider providing an opt-in setting to open the editor with all segments already pre-split by default? That would save the user many clicks. 
Unless maybe there is a technical reason why it couldn't be done?
Or maybe have a Split All button at the top of the editor?
@mjitkop The Split button will continue to split a block until the block is only about 1s long, so a Split All would create as many blocks as there are seconds in the recording. We understand the current situation isn't the most convenient, but it is the best trade-off we came to considering the technical challenges we have and where we are hoping to end up.
That said, right now is the worst this will feel — once we have enough edited recordings with splits in them, we will be able to use that to make the editor automatically split at better places. We hope will eventually reach a point where you never have to use the button.

Loving this feature so far. One slight issue I'm seeing at the moment is that sometimes the thumbnails will appear to all be content but if I split it I can see there are actually ads that aren't visible until the split. Is this something that might also be improved as we share our edits?

@mantooth yes, we are anticipating the more edits we get, the better this will become at picking the appropriate spot.

The Boundary model used for Split has been updated to 2026.10.17.0926. You can click Check for Updates under Enhanced Detection in settings.

The new enhancements are great but the sports detection is abysmal. Record football games on Saturday and Sunday and see what happens.
detection works fine on HDHR NFL, but I don't use live dectection.
@eric what's the roadmap for improving live detection?
It's something we hope to address at some point. Our current focus is improving the scene segmentation to prevent needing to have anyone use the Split button in the future.

The split function will certainly correcting any PTI shows (and any show on ESPN) that doesn't have many commercials detected automatically. Im able to split the segments and correct it and submit it.
