My review of using Clipchamp for around 6 months

4.0 last year

Comments: My overall experience using Clipchamp was good. I will give it around 4.3 stars out of 5. Except for the above-mentioned things, I love its every feature, be it Watermark free, Remove gaps in clips, changing orientation in the middle of the editing, etc.

Pros:

I have been using Microsoft Clipchamp for more than 6 months. During this journey, I liked its simple UI and ease of use. One of the most loved features of this app is WATERMARK FREE EXPORT, I love it. I also like its REMOVE THE GAPS BETWEEN VIDEO CLIPS feature a lot. Its pricing is also much less as compared to another similar kind of applications. Yeah, it's Value for money.

Cons:

I think everything is good except for the number of templates it provides. It's much less as compared to its other competitors. Also, in the free plan, we are not able to content backup which is a con. It must be there in the Free plan.

Why Do I Love Clipchamp?

5.0 last year

Comments: I personally love using this software and I hope to keep using it for years to come

Pros:

I really like how it is not punishing if you do not pay for it. The free version is really nice to use and there are not too many paywalls.

Cons:

There are some features missing like being able to move things and also being able to rotate items to a specific degree. Shake should also be added as an effect.

Thanks Microsoft

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: The AI automatic video creation is very nice and intricate - better than any other platform, but not at all easy to edit and make changes to.

Pros:

I like the ease of use for a full service editor

Cons:

Not being able to snap stills from video clips and never being quite sure whether or not it will or has actually recorded from the webcam.

Small, Free, Fast, but maybe you need more.

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: I am a graphic designer and I make posters for my clients, some times they ask me for animated versions to use in their social media pages, but for those to be profitable I need to have a fast turnaround with minimal times spent on creating that video.
Here is where I found out about Clipchamp, I export 4-5 elements from my poster design and the poster itself and with a bit of clever usage of transitions I animate them to make something nice but fast.
And here comes the problem, there are not much you can do with your elements, let's say you import a static png, you know what would be very cool?
To animate it, in a simple way like making it move from place A to B! Pretty simple right? I mean you do simple animation like this even in power point presentations.
But here this functionality doesn't exist and it is sad, because the only way to move elements around is by doing some workaround with transition from a blank image to your image and hope it covers the movement you want to make.
In general there could be a lot more tools that could make it great without making it difficult. I don't expect Resolve, but come one... look at CapCut, this is how you do it right.

Pros:

Easy to create simple reels or stories or simple videos without much fanfare.

Cons:

It leaves a lot to be desired, even for a simple video app.

A beginner friendly video editing tool with fairly advanced options

4.0 9 months ago

Comments: Overall, I am very satisfied with Clipchamp. I would like to highlight that I mostly need basic editing features like trimming, cropping and rotating and occasionally use advanced features like audio separation.

Pros:

I am highly impressed with easy ClipChamp's uncomplicated navigation and easy to use video editing capabilities. Along with the common features like cropping, trimming, rotating, and splitting clips Clipchamp also empowers me with some fairly advanced options like separating video and audio or speech to text. As a person with some speech disorders I highly admire the coaching option that offers feedback on my presentation skills and helps me to find areas where I need to improve.

Cons:

The color resolution feature needs some improvement to help creators offer an impressive visual experience to the viewers regardless of screen size. Also, the processing speed can be improved further.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

2.0 last year

Comments: Horrible experience. I have never used a tool this frustrating before

Pros:

I like how it is easy to use and similar to other editing tools i have use

Cons:

using the tools are too glitching and it keeps kicking me out to their home screen, making it not editable for me to edit. clips kept being deleted even though the clips that are downloaded are still there. every time I want to delete a text, the other clips keeps going forward which is unbelievable. if i want to extend a clip, the other clips extends(but that is only you add a lot of clips). adding more clips will slow down the website. things keeps disappearing and I am unable to edit or do anything.

My go-to tool

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall, Clipchamp remains my go-to tool because it makes my work so much easier.

Pros:

I've been using Climpchap for over 5 years now, and it has consistently been functional and user-friendly. I use it for screen recording, audio, and camera capture, and the templates are incredibly useful and practical. I have the free version, and all the features are easy to use and of excellent quality. The download options even go up to 1080p HD. I've seen the platform evolve and improve every day. The first time I used it was at work to add subtitles to some brand videos, and since then, I discovered it was much more than just adding titles. It's about trimming, merging, editing, and creating high-quality videos. For example, all my courses and promotional videos have been designed with Climpchap—if that isn't amazing! Sometimes I try other applications, but then I remember how easy my life is with Climpchap and continue using it. So far, I haven't needed to use any other apps.

Cons:

One important consideration for those just starting with this platform is that to ensure optimal performance, your computer should have good storage capacity. While this hasn't been an issue with my current setup, it's definitely something to keep in mind.

Horrible! No Live Customer Service! Editing Qualities the Worse!

1.0 10 months ago

Comments: But for the issues I mentioned the finished product is great but these vital issues makes this app horrible bc in the blogger youtube & other sites you need to get your content up as quickly as possible.

Pros:

One of the few editing apps out there for first time bloggers that's popular. If the editing feaatures where not so bad it would be a pretty good app

Cons:

No live immediate customer service that you can speak with or even chat with to resolve vital editing functioning issues or any issues for that matter. The editing tool is horrible. It will Flicker, get's stuck, it has to be relaunched quite often. on the upgraded for 11.99 they have copywriten music there and you don't know it until you upload your youtube video the music is copywritten. preventing you form monetizing fully. And the worse is there is no live cuatomer service reps to address issues, the chat CS is up to 12 days for response. Im current searching for another app to do my video's on.

Clipchamp great for getting recorded talks online

3.0 last year

Comments: Got the job done, and got working quickly. I will use again but will be aware of it's limitations.

Pros:

Easy to use, just load sound track, then add screens with transitions at appropriate time points

Cons:

No audio editing. Cannot lock items or combinations so inserting or removing items involved lots of re-edits. Technical issues when rendering large videos, froze quite often - appear to resolve by moving to more powerful pc.

Usable and free, until it's not

2.0 8 months ago

Comments: Easy to use, easy to setup, very creative and modern design, but does take some time to render and requires a subscription for some extra features

Pros:

The UI has to be highlighted for this software, I also like how it comes out of box with Windows 11, making the process seamless and requiring little to no setup

Cons:

Some features will require a paid subscription, which is frustrating; locking tools behind a paywall does not cut it for me; might as well go with a full subscription and include everything at once

Online video editing tool

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Reminds us a lot of the old windows movie maker, so it was really easy to figure out and use. Has enough options on video editing for our uses, also not too much to be overwhelmed.

Cons:

Have't run into any problems so far, so cannot complain

Simple Clipchamp review

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I have made several videos using Clipchamp for my UTube channel without any problems. It has a quick start-up and no freezes or glitches. Thanks again, developers.

Pros:

The interface is easy on the eyes. Not too loud. On night mode it seems. You will not find an easier video creator software like Clipchamp. I have been using it for four to six months and I still find tools or templates I did not know were there. Video creating with Clipchamp has been an absolute delight.

Cons:

No complaints here. Clipchamp developers. Great job. I love your software.

Best video editor!

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: It’s been great, I’ve been using ClipChamp for the last 1 year and half for my online classes. I record the topics explanation and then edit the short videos into one complete lesson. I’ve been able to share this with my students without any issue. They have used ClipChamp themselves for school projects. It’s amazing and I truly recommend it to everybody. Personal or professional use; ClipChamp is the best!

Pros:

I love that ClipChamp allows me to put different videos together and add different transitions, audios, music, text and filters. It also allows me to publish the finished video directly on different media as well as to share the online version through a URL or download it and saved it in my computer. I also love that is really easy to use however it includes a tutorial.

Cons:

Nothing, ClipChamp is a really good and easy to use. I really like it and I wouldn’t change anything about it.

Clipchamp is great for small businesses. I would recommend it to my friends.

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall the experience has been good with Clipchamp. We have been uploading videos to Instagram and Facebook and have had comments on the good production which we often tell them it is with clip champ.

Pros:

I liked how easy it was to sign up to the program. Often I have trouble with multiple accounts and email addresses but it seemed easy enough on Clipchamp. The most used feature for my business is the mobile upload as we often take videos on the ground and I want my employees to always be capturing footage. They don't mind when they know it is easy enough to get uploaded to our program for future editing.

Cons:

I think they could improve on the pricing. Maybe some discounted tiers for smaller businesses. Although as we increase the volume of our videos maybe we will consider a higher tier. If there was a free version where you could export in a higher res that would be good, in the free trial we didn't really know what we were going to get.

Great video editor, but a few problems

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I'm able to quickly edit and export videos to upload, very easy to use and great customer service.

Cons:

As much as I love this software, there could be more transitions. I try to use a great deal of transitions to make my videos a bit more interesting.

Great app and good functionality

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Good experience so far but could definitely be improved.

Pros:

I like the ease of editing on a browser and then being able to edit on my mobile device so I didn't have to transfer files.

Cons:

Captioning could be better, it is available on the IOS version but I can't find it on the browser version. Make things a lot more transparent and easy to find

Love Clipchamp for efficient & easy videos for design/marketing :)

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

I use Clipchamp for my own business as well as a couple of clients. None of us have purchased the software as we have found everything we need to do is available in the free trial (low res, short social videos). However, when the time comes that I need to upgrade and purchase software for client videos or my own I will turn to Clipchamp.

Cons:

Considering I'm not paying anything for the software, I can't really complain to be honest!

Great App for Reels!

5.0 last year

Pros:

Clipchamp allows users to choose the orientation of video and edit accordingly, which has made a huge difference in how I create Instagram Reels or any vertical video. Very easy to use, layer as many channels as you need!

Cons:

Would be nice to have some more free sounds to use. Not much outside of premium but can bring in own files too.

Finally an online video-editor that isn't slow!!!

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall Clipchamp has been my go-to for video editing for the past few months and I believe it will be the same for the following months to come as well. The software is not slow comparing to online-video software and is even easier to use!

Pros:

What I like the most about Clipchamp is that it's fast to use. The problem with online video-editing tools is that they're always slow so I always come back to Adobe Premiere Pro. Not this time thanks to Clipchamp, this software is a gem.

Cons:

1 thing that I don't like is the impossibility to change the color of the image background that they offer as templates. Other than that, it's perfect for me.
