Microsoft’s video editing tool Clipchamp has recently welcomed a host of new features, making it an even more powerful and user-friendly platform for creating and editing videos. Microsoft acquired the video editor Clipchamp in 2021. After the acquisition, it integrated it into Microsoft 365 personal and home edition subscriptions. Recently, the company expanded it to business subscriptions. At the same time, Clipchamp also launched a standalone premium version for non-Microsoft 365 subscribers. Today, an official Microsoft blog post reveals several new audio features coming soon to Clipchamp users.
New Clipchamp features
Insert audio into videos
One of the features allows users to insert audio recordings directly into videos. Users can click on the “Audio” option in the “Record & Create” tab of the app and start recording audio clips of up to 30 minutes. Once the recording is complete, they can edit it in the app’s timeline. This feature is available to all personal account users.
Text-to-speech feature
Clipchamp has also made improvements to the text-to-speech feature. “You can now add a text-to-speech track item, then change the language, voice, emotion, pitch, and edit scripts in the properties panel,” Microsoft said. The app also allows users to change the speed of text-to-speech audio. At the moment, this feature is available for all personal Clipchamp accounts and has begun rolling out to business accounts.
