Recording and editing with Microsoft Clipchamp
The use of Microsoft Clipchamp with organisation accounts has become possible in July 2024. Clipchamp won't become available to all our users at the same time, so if Clipchamp isn't working yet, you'll have to wait a while. According to Microsoft Clipchamp is gradually being made available from July to September 2024.
Clipchamp works in a web browser and with the Clipchamp app installed from the Microsoft Store (sign in with your TUNI account). To access the browser version, go to https://portal.office.com apps>>all apps>>Clipchamp. The browser version and the application have the same functionalities.
With Microsoft Clipchamp you can
- Record camera and computer screen
- You can record for up to 30 minutes at a time
- Turn what you type into real-sounding speech with AI-powered speech synthesis
- You can choose spoken language and voice for the text
- The pitch and speed of the voice can be adjusted
- Use Clipchamp's built-in stock materials (music, graphics, images, videos) in your video project.
- Edit video clips, adjust video colors, crop image, remove silent parts of recording, speed up video, add effects and fades
- Adjusts the sound level of the recording
- Share a viewing link to the recording
- Use automatic speech recognition to create subtitles. The subtitles can be edited, but timestamps cannot be added manually
All files in a Clipchamp project are stored in OneDrive and SharePoint document libraries as a separate folder. The folder contains the project file, source material in the assets folder, and completed exported videos in exports folder. When you open a project, Clipchamp downloads the source files from OneDrive to a temporary directory on your computer, and the video is processed locally on your computer.
Do not use Clipchamp for editing if the material is sensitive and must not end up in the cloud.
