I created a similar video using the same clips and exported to 4k. WeVideo’s stock options (Screen Capture by author) That’s a lot cheaper than Clipchamp with better offerings. Not only do you get to work with 4k footage, but if you upgrade to their $216/year plan, there’s a decent library of stock video to pull from. For $16/a month or $96/a year, you get access to one of the most feature-packed web editors available. I didn’t mention this one in my last comparison, but it’s definitely a contender. Especially when you see how the Flex 5 handled the cheaper, yet more feature rich apps below. $324/year is too costly for the features they offer. As I stated in my Duet article, I wouldn’t recommend Clipchamp because the price-to-value ratio is a bit off. I exported at 1080p with default compression and it took 5:04.Īll in all, it wasn’t bad for a “consumer-grade” or “how-to” video solution. The Flex 5 could move around the project quite fast and scrub as smoothly as the Clipchamp servers would allow.

They have the same amount of RAM, so the Duet’s weaker processor must be to blame. Whereas the Duet struggled with this project, the Flex 5 handled it easily. The RAM was pretty near maxed out, but I also had a full Google Doc and 2 Drive windows open.

The Flex 5 opened the project easily, but the fans whirred loudly. Clipchamp on the Lenovo Flex 5 (Screen capture by author)
