Pre-Workshop Videos & Activities
This workshop is primarily hands-on practice with iMovie or the Microsoft ClipChamp Video Editor in order to learn to use key features of the software.
Please Note: If you work at UVic and use a UVic Systems managed Windows computer, or are a student using a ChromeBook, you do not have ClipChamp installed on your computer. In order to use ClipChamp you need to request a free personal Microsoft 365 account (if you don’t already have one) which will allow you to use Microsoft’s web-based Office programs (including ClipChamp) for free. Sign up for a free Micrsoft 365 account here!
