Clipchamp, a video creator and editor by Microsoft
Slide presentingVirtual Exchange
Description: Clipchamp is a video-editing in-built app on Windows 11 that can also be used in browser and app versions. Clipchamp can be employed to create videos, trim, split, compress, and finally download them. Users can include transitions and animated texts, as well as screen or webcam recordings. Moreover, it features a text-to-speech converter. It was developed by Clipchamp Pty Ltd and later acquired by Microsoft.
Evaluation: Clipchamp can be of great use for teachers and the creation of educational materials. For example, an assignment could be creating a video on a school topic, thus requiring them to do some research, and then present the results as a Clipchamp video. Watching and listening to their own videos could help also students improve their speaking and pronunciation skills. Clipchamp is user-friendly and time-saving, as it offers an intuitive interface and editing tools. While it may initially require some time to get familarised with it, only basic IT skills are required.
Cost: Free.
