About this tag
Clipchamp is Microsoft's built-in video editor for Windows 11, offering free watermark-free exports up to 1080p and basic editing features like trimming, cropping, speed changes, effects, stock media, and music. Recent changes require Clipchamp projects to be saved through OneDrive for continued editing, shifting from a local-first to a cloud-tethered workflow. This has sparked user backlash, as editable projects now depend on a OneDrive-backed Microsoft account, though source media can remain local. Discussions compare Clipchamp to the revived Windows Movie Maker 6.0 from the Internet Archive, highlighting a contrast between modern cloud-dependent tools and older offline software. For beginners, Clipchamp is recommended as the best first free video editor on Windows 11, with Shotcut as a fallback.
