anybody used this? i still have found 0 software that beats the ease of use, discoverability, simplicity, power and overall ux of Capcut and that's mobile. tbh i'd prefer desktop if i could find it so this could be cool.

CapCut has a desktop version! I have not tried it myself so no idea how good it is: https://www.capcut.com/

oh cool, didn't know this, thanks!

I used this software (the app version) a couple weeks ago for the first time. I grabbed a great clip while playing a game and wanted to show it to a friend, but I didn't want to send the full 500MB 60s video when the clip was only ~6 seconds. I didn't want to spend a ton of time downloading proper editing software so I gave it a shot. It's a little clunky if I'm honest, it feels like an evolution of Windows Movie Maker; it works in a pinch, just don't expect anything professional to come out of it.

I’ve used this but the existing Microsoft video editor is better. I even set up an account and everything for Clip champ. It may be better for short videos, clips. But in general I feel like Microsoft is existing free video editor is the way to go. I use it a lot.

One huge difference between the two is that Clip champ is very slow in encoding your videos. Microsoft video editor will use all your cores or GPU acceleration. Whichever you prefer. I’ve noticed I get better results with CPU encoding. But Clip champ doesn’t even offer that and it’s very slow.

There's also a nice and light video editor built-into Windows Photos app (which is now prompting to install Clipchamp). It's pretty good for short clips.
