If you’re going to use just one program, Clipchamp, which comes pre-installed on your device, it may as well be the most powerful.
IMovie is a basic, free video editor that anybody can use to put together movie projects on Apple devices running macOS. As a result, Windows users have been unable to utilize a comparable tool since Microsoft discontinued the previous Movie Maker app in 2012.
There was a time when it wasn’t the case. Because Clipchamp was acquired by Microsoft only last year, the video editing program will be included in Windows 11 as a “inbox app” (i.e., an app that displays when you first install Windows, like Notepad).
To now, Clipchamp has been included only in a Windows 11 preview version; however, the public release is expected shortly.
There are many features and functions that Clipchamp has to offer. In terms of video-editing capabilities, it’s not a difficult program to use.
Clipchamp is now a freemium product: You may use it for free, but key choices (such as high-definition exports) and the bulk of stock material need a paid membership. As of now, a premium membership costs $9 a month, which may alter when the software is included into Windows 11.
With Clipchamp’s intuitive design, you won’t be left scratching your head for long wondering where everything is. With a timeline and a preview window for clips and the complete movie above it, as well as a place to put in media assets on the left, this is the interface for creating your film.
In addition to importing films, photos, and music from disk, you may also record straight into the program utilizing the cameras and microphones that are already attached to your computer. Clipchamp also includes a library of stock clips, images, and sounds that you may use in your projects. The Clipchamp membership is required to use most of them.
It is not until you save the video that you may change its quality, but you can change its aspect ratio at any time by clicking on the button in the upper right corner of the interface (it will already state an aspect ratio such as 16:9). Your videos should have a portrait aspect ratio if they are to be watched on mobile phones, for example.
There aren’t any significant options for customizing the app. Every aspect of the application may be seen at any one time. To exit a video, click the Clipchamp logo (upper left) and then choose exit. You may start new projects and access all of your movies from the home screen (using one of the provided templates, if you want).
Import your content by clicking the huge Add button in the upper-left corner and dragging your files to the right-hand timeline. Use the handles at the margins of your imported clips to trim them down, or right-click on them to access to options like Split (split a clip in two) or Duplicate (create an exact copy of a clip). As simple as clicking and dragging, you may relocate an object.
In the timeline, you’ll notice choices emerge above the preview window when you choose a scene, photo, or audio clip. For example, if you’ve clicked an audio clip, you may specify a fade-in or fade-out effect. It’s also possible to alter the color, speed, and other filter settings of a video clip that’s already been imported into your movie.
You may add GIFs, progress bars, and more to your video by selecting Graphics on the left of the screen. In some circumstances, these clips may be stacked on top of other clips; in others, they require their own chronology. For the most part, you’ll be guided by Clipchamp.
Create a finished product by include text and transitions, which are located in the Text and Transitions section of your navigation bar on the left-hand side. When creating a timeline, titles and transitions must be put at the top of the timeline. When you double-click on a title, you may change its text and typefaces.
To better view what you’re doing, you may zoom in and out using the + (plus) and – (minus) buttons directly above the timeline. This is very helpful as your project becomes larger. If you click on the two arrows going toward each other on the far right, the timeline will be zoomed in to fill the available area.
In Clipchamp, there are some keyboard shortcuts that might be helpful. It’s possible to choose numerous clips by holding down the Ctrl button while clicking on each one. Shift and touch / will reveal all of the Clipchamp keyboard shortcuts (forward slash).
Click the Export button in the upper right corner when you’re finished when you’re pleased with how everything looks. A variety of options are available for storing and distributing your movie once it has been created. Using the cloud, you may view the final movie rendering in real time.
We’re hopeful that capabilities like 1080p exports will be added to the free tier in the near future, but for the time being, Clipchamp sticks to the fundamentals (with just one primary video track, for instance). For the time being, you should give it a try and see whether it satisfies your video editing requirements.
