Adding a logo in Microsoft Clipchamp is a simple process, primarily managed through its dedicated Brand Kit feature, which allows you to maintain consistent branding across all your video projects. This ensures your unique visual identity is seamlessly integrated into your content.
Adding Your Brand Logo in Clipchamp
To incorporate your brand's logo into your Clipchamp videos, you'll typically use the Brand Kit. This central hub helps you manage all your brand assets.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Access the Brand Kit: Open Clipchamp and navigate to the Brand Kit section. This is usually found in the left sidebar menu of the editor interface.
- Locate the Logos Section: Within the Brand Kit, you'll find a dedicated area for logos.
- Upload Your Logo: Look for an "Add logos" button or a similar upload option. Click on this button to select your logo file directly from your computer.
- Tip: Ensure your logo is in a suitable format, such as PNG (for transparency) or JPG. High-resolution files are recommended for the best visual quality.
- Confirm Upload: Once selected, your logo will be uploaded to your Brand Kit, making it readily available for use in any new or existing video project.
- Applying the Logo to Your Video:
- In your video project, drag and drop the uploaded logo from the Brand Kit onto your timeline.
- You can then resize, reposition, and adjust the duration of the logo overlay directly within the video preview or timeline.
Leveraging Clipchamp's Brand Kit for Consistent Branding
Beyond just logos, Clipchamp's Brand Kit is designed to centralize all your essential branding elements, ensuring uniformity and saving you time.
Expand Your Brand Identity with Custom Fonts and Colors
The Brand Kit isn't limited to just logos. It also allows you to define your brand's typography and color scheme, creating a cohesive visual style.
- Custom Fonts: To maintain typographic consistency, you can upload your specific brand fonts. Simply click on the "add fonts button" within the Brand Kit section to upload your customized font files (e.g., TTF, OTF). Once uploaded, these fonts will be available for all text overlays in your videos.
- Brand Color Palette: Achieve perfect color harmony by setting your personalized color palette. Click on the "add palette button" to upload or define your brand's specific color codes (like hex codes). This ensures that your text, backgrounds, and other design elements always align with your brand's official colors.

- Strategic Placement: Consider placing your logo in a consistent corner of the video frame, ensuring it doesn't obstruct key visuals or text.
- Subtle Animation: Use Clipchamp's animation features to gently fade in or out your logo, making its appearance smooth and professional.
- Duration: Decide whether your logo should appear throughout the entire video or only at the beginning and end, typically during intro/outro sequences.
- Testing: Preview your video with the logo and other brand elements to ensure they look good on different screens and devices.
By utilizing Clipchamp's Brand Kit effectively, you can ensure every video you create reflects a consistent, professional, and recognizable brand identity. For more detailed assistance, refer to the Microsoft Clipchamp Support documentation.
