How to Convert Video to MP4 with Clipchamp

MP4 is a universal video format that is suitable for many devices and platforms. If you want to make a video for easier sharing or viewing, saving it as MP4 is the way to go. But what if your video is already in another format? 🤔

No worries. The fix is simple – just convert it to MP4.

On Windows 11, the native video editing application Clipchamp allows you to do that with its export feature, meaning you can import a video (e.g. MOV) and then export it to MP4 directly. This tool is free and easy to use. Even better, it has a web version that you can access from anywhere there is a network connection.

Ready to convert your videos to MP4 using Clipchamp? Let’s start!

Before following the guide, it’s useful to know more about Clipchamp’s free export feature so you know what kind of MP4 you’ll get.

• Clipchamp only exports MP4.
• The highest quality for export is 1080p.
• There is no option to change the video settings except for resolution.
• The exported videos use H264/AVC encoding at a frame rate of 30fps.
• The exported videos are automatically saved to your device.
• Clipchamp does not add watermarks to exported videos.

Now, let’s follow the steps to start an MP4 conversion in Clipchamp.

Step 1: Open the Clipchamp desktop client or access the Clipchamp website (https://clipchamp.com/en/).

Step 2: Sign in or register for an account.

Step 3: Click Create a new video to enter the workspace.

Step 4: Click Import media or drag & drop the file you want to convert into the media library. After importing, drag the imported video onto the timeline.

🔔 Note: It may take a while to import large videos. If the video is backed up in your cloud drive, you can click the drop-down arrow and select it from your OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Xbox.

Step 5: If there’s nothing to edit or change, click the Export button on the upper-right corner and select an export option to start exporting. Now the conversion is complete.

You see, it’s simple to use Clipchamp to convert a video to MP4. But there may be problems with using this tool:

• It may not recognize some files due to unsupported formats or codecs. For example, some users report that HEVC and AV1 are not well-supported.
• It may export a video with a file size much bigger than the original. This is because Clipchamp will re-encode the video using H264 encoding, which is not as efficient as encoding with H265/HEVC.
• When using the web service, it may take forever to process a video because of the long video length, an invalid browser status, or a poor network connection.
• It cannot convert multiple videos at a time.

Clipchamp isn’t a conversion program after all, so it’s natural that there will be various issues. If you care about conversion efficiency, we have a free Clipchamp alternative for you in the next part.
