Reviewers generally see Clipchamp as a solid beginner editor for basic work: it is easy to use, fast, and useful for social posts, short marketing videos, 9:16 formats, templates, stock media, text-to-speech, and simple clip, image, and audio editing. The main complaint is that it feels limited for more advanced projects, with few transitions, basic effects, and missing audio controls. A smaller but serious set of reviews warns about bugs, poor optimization, file bloat, login problems, and in one case severe project loss after a OneDrive-related update.

Clipchamps recent update and the forced switch to onedrive completely destroyed all of my projects in a way that is 100% unsalvageable. Aside from neither google nor microsoft logins working on the app (it just loops back to sign-in) all the files it "uploaded" to one drive? Not there. This includes all the detached audio files. If anything is missing, the entire video is unplayable and without manually retrieving the files (which clipchamp did not actually upload) there is no way to do it without starting completely over from scratch. Clipchamp destroyed a month long project that is due TOMORROW. I have meetings and calls all night, so there is literally no fixing this or recovering from it. If you want a program that will launch updates that completely destroy the entirety of all of your projects just to try and force you to use their cloud instead of your own local files, microsoft Climpchamp has you covered. It's unstable, and data loss has happened on every project, now with COMPLETE DATA LOSS. Would not recommend ANY Microsoft products after this experience, just do it all in google. Try capcut, it's so much better.

While the program is a decent, free video editor, it pales in comparison to the former Video Editor app I had once used prior to it becoming unavailable and forcing its users to install Clipchamp. Several of my files have been dramatically inflated in size despite cutting literal hours off of its original time, already being 1080p prior to the edit (3 hour long video with 2 GB size edited down to 41 minutes with a 7 GB size, not to mention random chunks of hard drive storage space being taken up just downloading the files outside of the intended size) I cannot recommend this as an alternative, with how poorly optimized Clipchamp is at this point in time.

I have been using Clipchamp for about an year now and obviously there are some positives and negatives altogether. Positives-super easy interface, Text-to-speech option, multiple stock videos and photos. Negatives-Very few transition options, some stock music get copyright on youtube even in the paid version, pretty basic features including effects. Overall I give it a 3 star. It's good for basic work.

I will say yes the application for Windows 10 and 11 is very nice and pleasant the website itself is also very nice so my rating on a scale of 1 to 10 is 9 because not all the languages are there I am talking about the website but I hope that in the future there will be more languages and it would be nice if Microsoft would also introduce the possibility of translating the website and the language which is not yet published i.e. there is no possibility yet to change from English let's say to let's say Chinese or the more popular Chinese it is an example language just the one I gave

I’ve enjoyed using Clipchamp for basic video edits. It’s fast and user-friendly, and I love the variety of templates available. The only drawback is that it can feel limiting if you need to work on more complex projects with advanced effects or features.

Excellent tool for small scale editing and for people like me who have less experience with advanced editing. Can move the clips wherever we choose, add images and sound easily and remove gaps easily too. Loved it.

I use Clipchamp for some light video editing for work. I find it really easy to use. Yes, it lacks some features (in my opinion) and there are a few small bugs, but hey, it's free.

Clipchamp is a simple and free video editor that's great for beginners. It's perfect for making social media videos, but it doesn't have advanced editing tools.
