In this post, we’ll explore three simple and effective ways to enhance your video footage using Clipchamp.
Enhance video colors
Say goodbye to shadows or uneven lighting and bring out brilliant colors in your videos with our color correction tool. Color correction can help reveal the hidden beauty in your video clips and help set the mood of your video.
You can find the adjust colors tool in the property panel. Drag the sliders to modify the color values of video clips and photos in your video editing timeline, including the exposure, contrast and temperature.
Don’t forget to match colors from scene to scene so your video flows smoothly with a consistent aesthetic.

Add video transitions
Improve your video’s flow by connecting your clips with transitions. Transitions can merge and smooth out your video's rough edges and seamlessly connect your everyday photos and video clips.
You can also use transitions to guide the pace of your video. For example, the spin transition would add a dynamic and fast-paced feel to your video, while a cross-fade transition would create a slow and dreamy effect.
Find our range of transitions in the toolbar. When you find a transition you like, drag and drop it between two clips on the timeline.

In Clipchamp, we’ve created aspect ratio presets so you can change your video size in a click. Create a seamless viewing experience for your audience as they scroll through their video feed.
