Clipchamp

Nowadays, in order to edit a slide show or even a video, you don’t have to resort to the services of additional programs specially installed on your computer. It is enough to take advantage of the opportunities provided by various online services, which can be easily found using Internet search engines. We recommend trying Clipchamp.com, a site designed for editing videos directly in the browser. Built-in tools allow you to efficiently process video material even without special knowledge. This will be discussed in our article.

Adding media files

The service in question supports working with audio, video and images. They can be added to the project by downloading from any media. All you have to do is press a button "Add Media" and select the required files. All of them will be sorted into sections, which is very convenient when working with a large number of objects. Clipchamp works correctly with all popular media file formats.

Adding text

Each editor is equipped with the function of adding text. Usually there are several blanks that differ in fonts, colors and visual design. Go to the appropriate section if you want to insert beautiful text into your project.



Editing of inscriptions is carried out through a separate menu. Here you can adjust the font size, add text, change the color of characters, and select additional options such as bold or italics.

Adding a background

For projects that don't involve video, it's best to use one of the available backgrounds to add text or images on top of. In the corresponding section, the developers offer a choice of several design options that differ in color.

Ready file library

Clipchamp's capabilities are not limited to uploading project files from your computer. There is a built-in library with video and audio. Most recordings are paid or available only by subscription. The library interface is quite simple - there are sections on the left, and at the top there is a line for searching for the necessary materials.



Library items are displayed as tiles. In the case of audio recordings, you just need to hover your mouse over one of them to start automatic playback. Left-clicking on a song allows you to view detailed information about it and add it to your library.



Pay attention to the list of videos. Click on one if you want to view its size, duration, codecs used, and frame rate per second. Adding to the library is done by clicking on the button "Add to Library". You cannot play the video before purchasing; only some screenshots are available for viewing.

Working with the project

Clipchamp has a workspace. The top left displays all the elements added to the project. In this menu you can manage them and drag them onto the timeline. The second zone is the preview window. A small player is displayed and has basic controls such as rewind, play or stop. Below is the timeline. Here you drag from the library all the elements that you want to use in the project, install them in their places and edit them as necessary. In addition, there are several buttons that allow you to cancel an action or trim part of the video or audio.

Editing media files

The added video can be edited. Double-click on it in the timeline with the left mouse button to open an additional window. Here you can adjust the framing, speed, orientation and display options. In the adjacent tabs, you can edit color, audio volume, and apply filters.



Setting up music tracks is done in much the same way, but in the editing window there is only a volume slider, and this is a minus of Clipchamp.



As for the image, I would like to separately mention the available filters. The developers have put together a whole collection of a wide variety of effects. All of them are free and are applied to the image instantly. In the adjacent settings tabs you can change brightness, contrast, gamma and transform the picture.

Project export

Now that all manipulations are completed and the project is ready to be saved, only the last step remains to be completed, after which it will begin downloading to the computer. In the appropriate window, you can once again review the finished work through the player, give it a name, select the appropriate quality and start downloading. You will get more saving options after purchasing the premium version of the service.
