In this part of the video, the speaker demonstrates two key video editing techniques using Clipchamp. First, they illustrate how to make a “jump cut” by splitting a clip at specific intervals and then zooming in on the centralized segment to emphasize a point. This involves aligning the play head, selecting the clip, and adjusting the zoom to create a smooth transition.
Second, the speaker shows how to add a subscribe button overlay. They navigate to the stock video section, select a subscribe panel, and position it appropriately on the timeline, adjusting its location to avoid covering the speaker’s face during the pitch.
Additionally, the speaker explains how to use the green screen filter. They select the green screen option from the filters menu, adjust the screen threshold to avoid noise, and change the background by inserting an image or video from the stock library. They ensure the new background aligns well with the existing clip by editing its position and length.
