Clipchamp Video Editing Tutorial: FREE Windows 11 Video Editor

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to use Microsoft Clipchamp, a free video editing software app that comes bundled together with Windows 11. Clipchamp makes it easy and fast to pull together professional looking video. You get basic tools like trimming and splitting, transitions, and animated text. You have access to templates, you can record your screen and web cam at the same time, and one of my favorites, you can even convert text to speech using the Azure-powered text-to-speech generator.

UPDATE: The free plan for Microsoft's Clipchamp now supports exporting videos with a resolution of 1080p.

Kevin, this is a great info video!!! Love how you explain the process and your examples are super easy to follow. Thank you for making this, I was able to edit a video I made in about 15 mins. This program is awesome for non-experts such as myself. Will be checking out more of your videos. 👍

Bro the fact that I found Clipchamp a long time ago like 1 year ago or 7 months ago and seeing the Editor I use right now being famous, it brings a smile on my face.

I think it is time for companies (Microsoft, Adobe.etc..) to adapt to financial situations going on with inflation. No one can afford a lot of these service subscriptions! I would rather pay a huge price once but own the complete program. I hope this doesn't replace Video Editor....however, I am on Windows 10 still anyway...I can't afford a new computer either. But great tutorial Kevin!

This is awesome! I've been using Adobe Rush and Filmora...but I think I'll switch to this for a moment, especially with the text to speech feature. I love it. One suggestion Microsoft...could you add some ethnic or urban voices? Or a feature to record your own voice (similar to what Descript offers). Maybe that could be apart of your Premium features.

Thank you for this tutorial. It was so helpful in making editing my first ever video. Clipchamp makes adding cool features to your video simple 🙂

[toogoodtobetrue]

I really appreciate the amount of time and effort you took to create such a wonderful content with so much details. Honestly this is exactly what i was looking for and thankfully your video was the first that i ever watched anything about clipchamp. Hope someday i will also be able to create youtube contents like you.

[Parasuniversal]

Fantastically explained Kevin. You helped me decide to not use it at first and then saw on your comment that they allow 1080 so will give it a go. Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you for this great video! Not being tech-savvy, makes this video a treat! No jargon, just simple steps and info. You're an 😇!

[lahleslie]

OMG, I've come to your channel in a desperate attempt to figure out how to use Clipchamp. I was using Video Editor the whole time because it's so simple and perfect for what I've been doing. I think Video Editor became obsolete so its going to be a sharp learning curve for me.

[Atinkstink]

Lets all appreciate how hard Kevin works to help us create our content!

[peeterpirn]

Thanks Kevin. You helped me out a lot! I have an Office 365 subscription and it took your video for me to realize I already own a premium version of Clipchamp.

[RichoWoodworking]

This was very helpful. Clipchamp automatically showed up on my Windows 10 a couple months ago. I had been using the Video Editor previously for my YouTube content and found ClipChamp not to be as intuitive to use as VE. Thanks for making it seem much easier. I'll definitely give it a second chance.

Great video Kevin! One of the best things about ur videos is that no second is wasted!

[tazmaniachill]

Great video Kevin, made a few youtube videos - simple to use and fairly easy to follow. One thing I have noticed, the last video i created doesn't have the "thumbnail" I have on the others on the home screen where you choose what you want to edit - just the name of the file in and empty - rest all have a preview. Have I inadvertently toggled a setting off? If anyone has any ideas Id appreciate a heads up.

[marcielleb]

Wow, Kevin. Your lesson on how to use this is awesome. Thank you so much. You rock!

[ennieskitchen]

This is all I needed, thanks for sharing

[HiGauravGupta]

This is crazy good stuff. Thanks for helping us with this

[goosphil]

Very interesting demo. Is there a function that allows to zoom in or out in a clip during the clip duration?

[ganpathji]

Text to Speech, Adding Text and Screen recorder is a really a cool feature. I loved it. This is not so complex compare to Davincy and Adobe. But they could have added something like fusion effects
