Step 1: Import MP4 Files

After launching Filmora, select the Full Feature mode and then import your MP4 video files. You can click the Import option in the Menu or drag and drop your video clips to the Media Library window directly.

Step 2: Split MP4 files

If there are some unwanted MP4 clips, just delete them by right-clicking -> "Delete" option. If you need to re-arrange these MP4 clips, simply drag and drop clips to change the order. But don't drag one clip to another, if not, you'll split the original video clip.

Step 3: Export the new MP4 file

Click the "Create" button to pop up the output window. Here, you can go to "Format" tab > "MP4" format. Next, name the output file and select the output path you want if necessary. At last, press the "Create" button again to export the new file.
