Clipchamp enables commercial users (those who access Clipchamp with an EntraID account) with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to create videos. Our first capability in Copilot allows users to start in Visual Creator and enter a prompt to describe the video that they would like to create. Copilot will then use the prompt to generate a script, create an AI-generated voice narrative and compile stock footage to compose a video for the user in Clipchamp.
The video can be edited further (change script, change voice, swap stock with user medias) by the user using all our existing video editing tools within Clipchamp.
How to create video in Copilot:
-
Open Visual Creator from within Copilot.
-
Enter your prompt or use one of the suggested prompts to start your video creation.
-
Select the arrow to submit the prompt once you're happy with it. Wait for approximately 30 seconds for a video to be created for you.
-
Once created, you’ll be able to review the draft in-line. Play to preview your video.
-
If you want to make changes to the drafted video, select the open with Clipchamp button. Alternatively, you can re-prompt and have another iteration of your draft video created. A new video will regenerate for you below the current video.
-
Opening the video in Clipchamp will allow you to further personalize and edit parts of the video using Clipchamp video editing tools.
-
Click the export button on the header and your video will be available for easy sharing.
Frequently asked questions
What does ‘Create a video’ do?
Users can ask Copilot to "create a video about...", the feature will generate a video script and then source stock footage (from internal stock libraries) for the video. We will create a Clipchamp video project and display it inline within Clipchamp. Users can then preview the video project in Clipchamp.
