Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.
Assuming you have a recent version of Movie Studio I would do the following:
- Place a copy of your mp4 file onto the Timeline in MS. By using a copy you ensure that the original is always available to you, in case of any "accidents"!
- Make a cut (shortcut T) at the point where you wish the divide to be.
- Delete one part (make sure it is highlighted and then hit your Del key).
- Export the resulting new file (via File>Export Movie as ...[presumably MPEG-4]) under a new name.
- Repeat the above procedure, ensuring you delete the "other half" of your file before exporting it, again under a new name.

@david-sahm Or you can place the cursor where you want split the clip into two parts & choose Split Movie, that will create two Movies that you can then export separately.
