Windows 10: "Edit With Clipchamp" and Open With Clipchamp no longer properly open the piece of media in...

Normally I'm able to just add directly from File Explorer but its not longer working, I checked on my laptop and it doesn't work on there either. Whenever I attempt to add via File Explorer Clipchamp will blink as though it's opening in taskbar but nothing happensI've reinstalled Clipchamp, cleared its cache, I'm fully up to date, I even system restored to when it was working, but nothing seems to get it working properly again. Technically I can still drag and drop and import in the application but that's much more inconvenient. I've already brought this up with Clipchamp themselves and they s

Clipchamp won't open vertical files

Hi Mark,



Thank you for writing us here in Microsoft Community.



I would like to set your expectations ahead that Clipchamp is a third-party video editing software developed by Clipchamp Pty Ltd. Nonetheless, I would be more than glad to extend a helping hand for you.



To troubleshoot this issue, I would recommend in trying the following steps:

• Temporarily disable installed Antivirus or VPN program
  
• Convert the File: If the video files are not loading at all, you can try to convert them again to mp4 using a video converter tool, save the converted file versions, and then add them to your Clipchamp project.
  
• Check for Updates: Make sure that your Clipchamp application is up-to-date. You can do this by opening Microsoft Store, clicking on Library, and then clicking on Update Clipchamp or Update all
  
• Check for System Updates: Select Start > Settings > Windows Update. Select Check for updates. Install any available and pending updates and restart your device
  
• Run System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM): These tools can check for any system errors and corrupted files. Here's how to do it: Press Win + R, enter “cmd,” and click OK to open Command Prompt. Type the command “sfc /scannow” and press Enter to initiate the scan. Once finished, restart your computer and launch Clipchamp to check.
  
• Press Start Menu then search Clipchamp Right click it then select App setting > Advance options > Click Terminate > Repair > Reset and Uninstall Clipchamp > Open Microsoft Store then search Clipchamp
  Click Install
  
• Check for optional driver updates of Windows 11: Go to Start Menu > Settings > Windows update > Advanced options > Optional updates > Put check mark on each driver updates > Apply > Restart computer > Check ClipChamp

Open a Video Not Using Clipchamp

I want to include a video I made to be included in a video project without Clipchamp opening. I have deleted Clipchamp on my computer, but it still opens. I want to see the video run like it use to without Clipchamp getting in the way.

Clipchamp won't open vertical files

I get an error that says "Unable to import some media" whenever I try to open the video files i need to rotate. These files are MP4 but were filmed vertically and I want to rotate them in Clipchamp. My other files that are already horizontal import with no problem. All files are MP4 format and from the same camera and in the same folder. I have tried the desktop and browser versions of Clipchamp. I have tried drag and drop, import from Clipchamp, and right clicking the file and saying open in Clipchamp. I get he same error each way and only on the vertical files. I have tried swapping the created video format from 16:9 to 9:16 but this had no different outcome.
I can play the video rotated in windows media player but it doesn't save the rotation. I need to be able to share and edit the videos after rotating. How can I rotate videos in Windows 11?
