Step 4. Edit and export video

When your files have finished importing, you can organize the your media tab by filtering by file type such as image or video, as well as sorting by file name and size. To start editing, drag and drop clips to the editing timeline. Trim videos, add transitions, edit titles and add background music. When you're ready, export your video in high quality. We recommend 1080p HD for sharing on social media.

A copy of your video will automatically save to your device once your video has exported. Find the save to OneDrive button in the Clipchamp export page to upload your video to OneDrive. Rename your newly created video and click the send button. Once completed, you'll also receive a file link which you can easily copy and share.
