I'm looking through the documentation and the presets file located here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/apireference/presets.html

Currently, my ts files have duration of 5 seconds. How can I split this even more? For example: 5 ts files with 1 second for each ts file of 5 seconds. Or 2 ts files of 2.5 seconds for each.

I would think that I just need to configure one of the presets above but I can't find one that explicitly says anything about it.

Segment length for ts chunks using the API can be configured under the HlsGroupSettings using the attribute/parameter called segmentLength[1].

Please note that this would be set at an output group level so either in the job-template or in the base settings if you were sending a Mediaconvert job using the API

I am assuming that you want to generate HLS output in this scenario. You can manage the length of the segment by configuring Segment Length(sec) parameter in MediaConvert's HLS output configuration. You also need to make sure that the segment length is the multiple of key frame interval GOP size to get accurate segment duration. If not, the transcoder will round-up the segment to the nearest value(eg:- 2 sec GOP Size for 6 sec segment length). The best option here is to create profile template with your required configuration and use the template for triggering the job.
