Step 1: Create a New Video

Once you have ClipChamp installed and loaded, you'll see a large "Create a new video" button in its window as shown below.

Click on that big button to get started on creating your dynamic photograph video content. Once you do, you'll get to the video editing time line screen. Drag your photograph on the "Import media" area. The screen shot below shows the imported photograph that we are going to work with today.

Now drag-and-drop the photograph from the "Import media" area into the timeline, where it says, "Drag & drop media here". By default, ClipChamp will create a 4 second video of your photograph as shown in the screenshot below. You can change the duration of the video by dragging the beginning or the ending on the timeline.

Click the "Effects" button to the right to pull out the tray as shown in the screenshot below.

The following is a list of special effects that are available in ClipChamp:

  • Flash

Each of these special effect produces it's own interesting result. We will only use one to demonstrate in this article, but you should definitely play with each one and use them in combination with others to see what they do for yourself.
