Clipchamp enables commercial users (those who access Clipchamp with an EntraID account) with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to create videos.
With Copilot, users can describe the video they want by entering a prompt either in Copilot's Create hub or directly in the Clipchamp app.Â
Copilot will then use the prompt to generate a script, create an AI-generated voice narrative and compile stock footage to compose a video for the user in Clipchamp.Â
The video can be edited further (change script, change voice, swap stock with user media) by the user using all our existing video editing tools within Clipchamp.
How to create video in Copilot

If you want the content of the video to come from a PowerPoint slide deck you have already created, add a PowerPoint file.
