Adding video to your project

Adding a video file from your computer

Adding media from integrated sources

In the Clipchamp UI, you can add media files through one of the available direct integrations by selecting the down arrow next to Import media. The options shown here depend on the version of Clipchamp you're using.

• In Clipchamp for work accounts, you can add media files from 

  • Your computer

  • OneDrive

• In Clipchamp for personal accounts, you can add media from

  • Your computer

  • OneDrive

  • Google Drive

  • Dropbox

  • Xbox

Adding media from your phone

You can import video, image and audio files from external devices such as your phone into a Clipchamp project.

• In Microsoft Edge, through the upload from mobile option.

  • To use it, open your Clipchamp project in an Edge browser tab,

  • then select the Import media button in the media library,

  • and in the file picker menu that opens, select the Upload from mobile button.

  • For more information, see: Microsoft Edge mobile upload.

  • This works in Clipchamp for work and Clipchamp for personal accounts, as long as you open the project in an Edge browser window.

Other options are:

• Copy videos that are on the other device (such as your phone) to a cloud storage app such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox. Then, you can either use the direct integration with these services in Clipchamp or retrieve the videos on your computer through the desktop app of these services.

• Use a mobile device's built-in file transfer feature such as Airdrop on iOS and Nearby Share on Android, which you can use to move files from your phone to a desktop computer.

Clipchamp for personal accounts

In Clipchamp's personal version, right-click on a media file in Windows Explorer and choose "Edit with Clipchamp", or click on the "Create a video" option on a media file in the Windows Photos app.

This will launch a new project with the media file getting loaded into the media library and onto the editing timeline.

Note that if you already have a Clipchamp project open when performing this operation on a video in Windows Explorer or Photos, you will get asked if you'd like to add the new file into the open project or create a new project instead.

Clipchamp for work accounts

In Clipchamp's work version, right-click on a media file in OneDrive or SharePoint on the web and select Open > Edit in Clipchamp. This will create a new editing project with the media file getting loaded into the media library and onto the editing timeline of the project.

Another possibility is to open a video file in Stream and to select the Clipchamp menu item at the top. This will also create a new editing project with the media file getting loaded into the media library and onto the timeline of the project. You need to have the appropriate access rights for the video in Stream to see the Clipchamp option there.
