That big vertical line in the timeline (at about 10 seconds in in this screenshot) can be used to scrub back and forth. You can preview the video in the upper section. At the bottom are the various elements of the video: the clips, the audio, any text overlays, transitions, and so on. Opening the template presents the timeline view, the way in which you’ll put a video together. In my experience, that solves the problem. The workaround is to simply click on the audio track and use the controls at the top of the screen to adjust the track’s volume. Second, Clipchamp routinely glitches when playing back a video project’s audio, especially when you first open it.

If this happens, don’t be afraid to click on the main Clipchamp icon at the upper left, go to the home page, and simply reopen the video project if it hangs. Clipchamp, possibly because it’s a web app, suffers from two major bugs that tend to repeat: First, Clipchamp can sometimes get stuck importing and converting files.
