Clipchamp has a Training site to help you get started with all of the features that it offers, but below you can find the basics to get your started!

Getting started

When you login clipchamp you’ll need to decide how you want or need to start a project. You can…

1. Start with a Template: begin your project with a premade template from the Clipchamp library, or create your own and start building your own content for presentations, social media, and more!
2. Start with a recording: Don’t have a video yet? Start by recording your screen, your webcam view, or both at the same time! Great for presentations!
3. Start with your own Media: If you already have your prerecorded video, just hit “Create a video” in the top right corner and then drag and drop your videos into the media library so that you can start building your video right away!

Exporting your video

Finished with your video? Just hit the Export button in the top right corner, and then choose how you would like to export it! You can choose quality levels based on the platform the video will be hosted on.

Note: If you used effects, sounds, stock photo or images, or any feature that requires the premium version of ClipChamp, sections of your video will have a water mark across it and ClipChamp will notify you before you export the video. However, videos that do not utilize the premium features will have no watermark or indication of the program used to edit the video.
