Questions about switching
Can I bring my Clipchamp projects?
No. Video has no import of another editor’s project. Export your finished videos and drop them on Video’s Home: each one becomes a Video with it placed, and its footage lands in Depot.
Does Video have stock footage or generated voices?
Stock videos, music and sound effects are in the Media Library, beside your own footage, recordings and sounds. There is no text to speech.
What does Video Pro add?
Color grading with wheels, curves, LUTs and scopes, masks, chroma key, tracking, stabilizing and adjustment layers, Multicam and Nested Sequences. Everything else is Video Essentials, with every account.
