Once you start actually working in Clipchamp, you'll have a lot of nifty video editing tools available. And compared to the Photos Legacy video editor and Windows Movie Maker, Clipchamp gives you a lot more to work with, to the point where it's a lot closer to Apple's iMovie than Windows Movie Maker was! Then it was retooled into Windows Live Movie Maker in 2009, with an interface obviously inspired by the 2007-2013 iMovie versions but still limited features, before being discontinued in 2017, now that with the infamous Windows 8, Microsoft developed a "Photos" app that was later also included in Windows 10 that had a fairly rudimentary video editor built in.īut eventually in Windows 11 (which, as I've said, is for the most part not that different from Windows 10, except for some visual aspects and the weird TPN install requirement), Photos was given an overhaul and removed that rudimentary video editor and a few other lesser-known features, now that Clipchamp was included with Windows 11 by default! (The older version of Photos with the video editor is now known as "Photos Legacy" and can still be downloaded for free from Microsoft for those still used to it.) As I also said, Clipchamp is also a free download for Windows 10 users.
Though ME proved to be a failure, Microsoft didn't give up on Movie Maker and also included it in Windows XP among its' launch in 2001, and then two years later upgraded Movie Maker with some handy new features, but it still paled in comparison to iMovie. You may recall me mentioning how way back at the turn of the millenium when in response to Apple introducing the iMovie consumer video editing software for their IEEE-1394/FireWire-enabled Macintosh computers (such as the iMac G3 DV and the PowerMac G4), Microsoft responded with bundling a very rudimentary video editing application with their infamous Windows ME operating system: Windows Movie Maker. As I mentioned before, I actually have Windows 11 installed on a 2015 Retina 15" MacBook Pro! But anyways, 1 1/2 years ago, Microsoft acquired the Clipchamp web-based consumer video editing application, and now bundles it with Windows 11, along with it being available as a free download for Windows 10 users.
I can't believe that prior to last autumn I was unaware of the new video editor Microsoft bundles with Windows 11: ClipChamp! Of course, I don't use Windows as often as the MacOS, but I do use it at work for certain tasks (like our software we use for logging Chromebooks and iOS devices we wipe/reset), and I also use it for some certain Windows-only software I still use for media production (like Wrapper/GoAnimate, Speakonia, and the beloved Microsoft 3D Movie Maker).
