How to enhance video quality in Clipchamp
Step 1. Import videos or record a video
To import your own videos, images, and audio, click on the import media button in the your media tab on the toolbar to browse your computer files, or connect your OneDrive.
You can also record a webcam video directly inside the editor using the record & create tab, then screen, camera, or screen and camera.
Next, drag and drop your media onto the timeline.
Step 2. Edit video quality with color correction
Click on your asset on the timeline, then click on the adjust colors tab on the property panel. Inside the adjust colors tab on the property panel, you can complete the following tasks to enhance your video quality:
Turn up or down the exposure (brightness and darkness)
Adjust the contrast (brightness and darkness)
Add or remove saturation (color intensity)
Increase or decrease the temperature (warm and cool tones)
Enhance asset transparency (make your media see through)
Drag the corresponding slider left and right to change the value or intensity. For example, to enhance the quality of your video, drag the saturation slider to the right. This will intensify the color of your video. If you would like to make your asset less colorful and bright, drag the saturation slider to the left. This will make your video quality darker and less intense.
If you're unhappy with your video quality enhancements, just click on the reset button inside the adjust colors tab. This will reset your video back to its original state. You can also use the undo and redo buttons on the timeline or delete your asset and drag and drop the original asset onto the timeline.
Step 3. Preview and save your video
Before saving your new enhanced video, make sure to preview by clicking on the play button. When you’re ready to save, click on the export button and select a video resolution. We recommend saving all videos in 1080p video resolution for the best quality. Paid subscribers can save in 4K video resolution.
