![]() The fact that Clipchamp is now built into Windows 11 as of the latest Insider Build suggests to me that Microsoft won't be trying to improve or fix its free tools, and thus, will eventually want you to pay $9 per month for the most aggressively basic things that iPhones and Galaxy Phones do out of the box. I don't even need it to be the best video editing tool for Windows - I'd settle for something that is at least functional for the most basic of things. There isn't a universe that exists where $9 per month is a worthy fee for 720p exports, with such a laughably basic toolset, that doesn't even work on Android - Microsoft's de facto mobile platform. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rolling it into the subscription fee of Office 365 absolutely would be the most sensical way forward, given how basic and generally bad Clipchamp is as a service. Microsoft seemed to hint in a previous blogpost that Clipchamp would be integrated into Office 365, and perhaps that is still the plan.

And if you want to pay a little extra, you can buy a lifetime license for an app like InShot on Android and iOS, which is leaps and bounds ahead of anything Microsoft has ever produced in this area.Ī few months ago, Microsoft purchased nascent web-based video editor Clipchamp, which was a promising sign that they were going to start taking their built-in video editing tools more seriously. Samsung's video editor on Android is better than Windows 11's Photos app (and Clipchamp, really). Indeed, it has become easier to make short social clips on my damned phone than it is on full-blown Windows 11. Which is sluggish, clunky, crashy, and lacks many of the modern features you might expect from competing solutions. Fast forward to 2022, and we have a weird side-feature of the Photos app in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
