Link Accounts

Having the ability to upload and share content online is one of the many perks of utilizing Clipchamp. Connecting your other accounts to the app makes this process much more straightforward. Once you open the app, you can select the Connect Now option in the notification banner.

Clicking the plus sign (+) followed by choosing the option to “Record your camera or screen” is yet another option for capturing video from a camera attached to your computer or recording what is happening on the screen.

Creating a Timeline

Clipchamp, like many other video editing programs, allows you to arrange the clips and effects that will ultimately make up your film on a timeline. When you go to the My Media tab, you’ll see all of the videos you’ve added to Clipchamp.

When this window is open, you may start editing by dragging and dropping clips onto the timeline in the right-hand corner of the screen.

You can add clips in whatever order you desire. You can quickly edit them by hovering over the beginning or ending and dragging the handles inwards to remove the extraneous video.

Adding Audio

Including video clips in your project timeline is excellent, but don’t forget the value of music, voiceover, and on-screen Text while making a movie.

You can add Text to the timeline above the video you’re editing, and you can add audio to the timeline below. A video track’s default audio can be muted by clicking the speaker icon to the left of the timeline; adding an external audio file is as easy as clicking Add audio and selecting a file to import.

Adding Titles and Other Text

If you don’t like how the sample text looks, you may replace it with your own by double-clicking the block representing the Text on the timeline and typing over the sample text.
