I am having trouble downloading a video I created in ClipChamp as an Mp4 file. Others in my sphere are able to do it, but my download does not give me the option to choose the file type. Any suggestions?

    Hi

    You don’t need to select a file type—Clipchamp automatically exports videos as MP4.

    Open your project, click Export in the top-right corner, and choose 1080p. Wait for it to finish, then click Save to your computer if it hasn’t downloaded automatically.

    Microsoft’s instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/clipchamp/exporting-and-saving-a-video-in-clipchamp

    If you’ve already tried this, what file extension does your downloaded file have—for example, .clipchamp or .mp4?

    Clipchamp does not require choosing MP4 manually for normal video exports. Finished videos export as MPEG-4 (.mp4) by default.

    Try this:

    1. In the Clipchamp editor, select Export in the top-right corner.
    2. Choose a video resolution such as 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K.
    3. Complete the export.

    Expected result: the exported video is saved as an .mp4 file.

    Important details:

    • If the project contains video, the export format is MP4.
    • If the project contains audio only, the export is M4A, not MP4.
    • GIF is only an option for videos 15 seconds or less.

    If the file is exporting but the download step is the problem:

    1. Check the Downloads folder first.
    2. If prompted, save to a local folder such as Downloads or Desktop.
    3. Allow Clipchamp downloads or pop-ups in the browser, then export again.
    4. If using a work or school account, check the project’s Exports folder in OneDrive or SharePoint unless another location was chosen.
    5. In the Windows app, choose another save folder or check Clipchamp’s storage permission in Windows settings.

    If the issue is that no file type selector appears, that is expected for standard video export because Clipchamp exports video as MP4 automatically rather than asking to choose a separate video file type.
