> Route clips into weighted workflow branches.

# Split

> Split sends clips into two or more downstream workflow branches by weight.

The **Split** node is an editing action for branching a clip workflow. Use it after a node that outputs clips when you want different portions of the clip set to follow different downstream paths.

<Info>
  ### Schema

  * **Input**: Clips from an upstream workflow node
  * **Output**: Weighted clip branches
</Info>

## Add the node

Open **Workflows** from the left sidebar and click **New** to open the workflow builder.

Add a trigger and a clip-producing node first, such as [Manual Trigger](/nodes/manual-trigger) -> [Find Clips](/nodes/findclips). In the **Editing** stage, choose **Split**. Overlap adds the action node to the canvas.

## Configure branches

Use **Branches** to choose `2`, `3`, or `4` output branches.

Each active branch has a percentage weight. The active weights always add up to `100%`. For example:

* `70 / 30` sends roughly 70% of clips to branch 1 and 30% to branch 2.
* `50 / 30 / 20` sends clips across three branches by that ratio.

Split assigns clips deterministically, so the same input clips and weights produce the same branch assignment each run.

## Connect branch outputs

Each Split branch has its own output handle on the right side of the node.

Connect each branch to the downstream editing or export path you want. Branches that receive no clips for a run simply stop; the rest of the workflow continues through populated branches.

## Build the rest of the workflow

A common flow is [Manual Trigger](/nodes/manual-trigger) -> [Find Clips](/nodes/findclips) -> **Split**.

From there, one branch might add [Subtitles](/nodes/subtitles), another might add [Watermark](/nodes/add-watermark), and another might go directly to [Post to Social](/nodes/post-to-social). Finish each active path with the action or export nodes that match your content plan.
