Clipchamp cloud storage
General FAQs
Why is Clipchamp asking me to save my projects to Microsoft OneDrive?
Clipchamp is now integrated with OneDrive, ensuring optimal storage for our Clipchamp subscribers via the cloud. Projects are automatically saved, to help ensure they are safe, secure, and accessible. Additionally, with OneDrive, you can now export and share videos across different devices by logging in with your Microsoft account. You can also store projects on your local device disk if you wish to archive them.
How do I ensure my existing projects are not lost?
You can select the project files you’d like to migrate to OneDrive folders within the Clipchamp app or save the files locally on your device disk. Saving projects in OneDrive will ensure your projects are safely stored and available for future editing.
What happens if I choose not to migrate my projects to OneDrive?
You can close Clipchamp and migrate the next time you launch Clipchamp. However, you will need to move your projects to continue using Clipchamp. If you wish not to migrate your projects to OneDrive, you can download them to your local device and upload them to OneDrive at any point in the future.
Will project folders remain untouched?
Project folders within Clipchamp will now be organized within OneDrive. You can select the project files to migrate to OneDrive in the Clipchamp app. Once the files are moved, you can organize the OneDrive folders as you see fit.
