Selecting Your Video Style

Choose Video Styles You will see a selection of video styles to help the AI understand your theme and aesthetic preferences. You can either let AI choose for you by clicking “Choose for Me” or use the green thumbs up and red thumbs down buttons to communicate your preferences.
Aspect Ratio and Video Length After selecting your style, click “Next” to choose your preferred aspect ratio, either landscape or portrait. Then select the video length. The AI will suggest optimal lengths based on your media, but you can make your own choice if preferred.

Preview and Adjustments

Preview Your Video Once you have made your selections, you can preview your video by clicking the play button. Ensure that the preview fits your chosen aspect ratio.
Music and Font Selection After previewing, click on “Next”. AI will automatically select background music and a font. Note that font options may not be available for all presets if no text is applied. If you'd like to change the music, click the music button, preview different tracks, and select the one you prefer. You can opt for no music if desired.
Customize Your Font Click on the font button to browse all font options. Choose your desired font style and click the back arrow to return to the previous window.
Final Preview and Adjustments Play your video again. If you’re not satisfied with the result, use the “Create a New Version” button. The AI editor will generate a new version based on the same media. You can repeat this process until you achieve the look you want.
Exporting Your Video When you’re happy with your video, hit the “Export” button. The video will automatically export on the Clipchamp exporting page and will save directly to your device.
