Clipchamp: Guide to Microsoft’s Video Editing Tool

Introduction to Clipchamp

Clipchamp is an online video editor that helps users create videos directly in their web browser. It was first launched in 2014 and later acquired by Microsoft in 2021. After the acquisition, it became the default video editor for Windows 11 and a part of Microsoft 365. This means that Clipchamp works well with other Microsoft tools like OneDrive and Microsoft Teams.

Clipchamp uses Microsoft AI to assist with editing. This includes smart features like automatic video composition, voiceovers, and captioning. Users do not need to install heavy software. Everything runs in the browser or on the Windows app.
