There are two options to increase the size of the preview window in Clipchamp video editor to watch a larger version of your video before exporting.
Option 1. View video in full screen mode
-
Click on the rectangular full screen button under the preview video window. A new full screen mode window will open.
-
Click on the play button to watch your video in full screen mode.
-
To return to the original video editor, click on the full screen button again. Alternatively, press the esc key (for both MacBook and Windows users) on your keyboard.
Option 2. Minimize timeline and side panels
You can also increase the size of the preview window in the editor without switching to full screen mode. Simply collapse the timeline, toolbar, and property panel to provide more space for the preview.
-
To collapse the toolbar, click on the collapse toolbar button at the top right of the toolbar.
-
To collapse the property panel, click on the collapse property panel button at the top right of the property panel.
-
To collapse the timeline, click on the collapse timeline button at the bottom right of the timeline. Alternatively, you can press control + Alt + 3 (Windows) or command + Option + 3 (Mac) on your keyboard.
You can also use your cursor to manually drag and collapse the timeline, or to adjust the size of your preview in the stage.
To restore the timeline, click on the collapse buttons again or press the same hotkeys. To restore the side panels, click any tab on the toolbar and property panel to restore them both to full view.
