If you’re not on Windows, you’re able to still use theClipchamp online editor.
Clipchamp didn’t start its life as an AI app.
However, Clipchamp received an update that lets you generate videos with AI.
All you oughta do is feed it your media, and it’ll do the hard work for you.
you might include both videos and pictures in your project.
It’s a good idea to gather all your files in one folder for easy access.
Once you’re ready to go, open Clipchamp and click onCreate a video with AI.
Clipchamp will now ask you for a video title.
Below the name, you’re able to add the media you want to use in your video.
Once all your files are uploaded, clickGet started.
In this phase, you’re telling the AI what mood you want your video to represent.
Clipchamp will show you a theme card on the left of the window.
If the theme card matches the mood you want in your video, click thethumbs upicon.
Otherwise, click thethumbs downicon.

you might also grab the length of your video.
If you want it to be a short and snappy video, selectLess than 30 seconds.
Otherwise, clickFull length.
Here, you might select a song and a font that suits the themes you picked earlier.
If you like what you see, clickExportto make it a video.
If you want to make tweaks to your video, clickEdit in timeline.
If something looks weird in the final cut, you could edit the timeline and fine-tune your video.
This will let you change what it says, select a new font, and adjust its size.
If Clipchamp’s timing is a bit off, you could adjust the clip timing yourself.
To adjust a clip, choose it on the timeline.
Then, grab one of the edges and drag it left or right to extend or shorten the clip.
You’ll notice that Clipchamp sometimes adds two identical video tracks featuring the same piece of media.
The second track is used to create a reflection effect that appears under the active video or image.
verify you align these reflections when adjusting your media, or the video will look very strange.
you’re able to also delete the reflections if they’re too much of a hassle.
Adjust the sliders here to create the perfect fade duration.
you’re free to also use theSpeedoption on videos to adjust its playback.
