You're a lifesaver! I've watched countless tutorials & this one was the most insightful.

Just wanted to give a big thank you to the video, in roughly 15 minutes the amount of material covered is really impressive. Kudos to making it simple and effective.

This tutorial is just SUPERB. So concise and well-explained. Can't believe you've packed in so much in just 15 minutes. Hats off to you madam, and thanks for your effort!

Used it for the first time in the last couple of days.
Really easy to use, intuitive, this makes for a quick editing process
The thing that I'm missing is more Freedom to get into advanced editing
Thanks a lot for the run down on Clipchamp options

[DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Thanks so much for this. I have used Cap Cut forever but found out today when I went to edit my latest video
that it is no longer available in the U.S. So now I'm a new user of Climpchamp and will use this for now on.

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling some trepidation over learning to edit video. This free program seems like it might be the one I need. Your brief instruction is helpful to get me going. Thanks again.

[buthaina-]

Thanks a lot Very good explanation of the features of Clipchamp. 👍👍👍👍👍

[ModelBuildinginRetirement]

This program is super easy and reliable. Only complaint I have is trying to do a voice over your video. The record tab on the left allows you to create a voice file, but unfortunately you can’t watch the video you are trying to narrate at the same time. The only way I found to do this is by watching the clip you want to voice over on another device so you can see what you are narrating and record your voice file. Then finally you can drag the voice file to the correct place below you video on the timeline, then you can turn down or delete the sound from the original video.

Thank you! You highlighted everything! Wonderfully comprehensive, and clear. 👍
