What is the auto compose feature?
Auto compose uses AI models to automatically generate a video that best suits your media. Choose from a unique range of video styles, then let our intuitive feature analyze your media assets, select the best clips, organize them in the timeline, and add music and special effects automatically. You can further personalize your video by manually adding text, effects, and your own audio files through our timeline editor.
How does the auto compose feature work?
Our smart AI model will review and find highlights from your videos once your media is added to auto compose. The video highlights then turn into a professionally designed video automatically. The auto compose feature is designed to have some variability on which media it selects and what layouts it applies. So, if you don’t like the initial video result, you can instantly generate a new video without having to re-review the media.
Who can use the auto compose feature?
The auto compose feature is free for all Clipchamp users to enjoy. It’s designed to make beautiful, personal, and memorable videos that you can easily share directly to your friends and family on social media. We recommend using the auto compose feature to create wedding videos, holiday recaps, memories videos, and slideshows.
