#22Requires an account? Sigh.
Does it in the app? Microsoft Store does have that dark pattern of looking like it wants you to sign in but then downloading the application anyway when you press cancel.
Edit: Oh wow it is a packaged "web-app". I see. That's unfortunate.

#23Disclaimer: Final Cut user here, so I will be extremely biased.
While parts of UI are ripoff from Final Cut. I still found it to be pretty basic. Won’t be using it and I doubt other professionals will.
Nevertheless can be good tool for free usage and meme makers. It still unlocks a sizable market for Microsoft.

Is clippy necessarily evil? I mean we have the floating action button in some apps, clippy just provided FAB like functionality with some personality.
Then again, the FAB is pretty horrendous too most of the time, so maybe it's not the best way.
But I think in some very limited cases it could be a good way to provide shortcuts that bypass huge stacks of menus. Modern apps have gone in a more lightweight direction though so maybe we just don't need that.

Comparing this to FCP is a cheap swing. Obviously this is meant as an iMovie/MovieMaker alternative, not for professionals.

#26Stick to Davinci Resolve, OpenShot or other options that don't require creating yet another login.
Davinci Resolve is $300 and OpenShotnis probably disorienting for a lot of new entry users.
Clipchamp seems easy enough for most amateurs. It’s great to have a completely free watermark-free alternative from Microsoft. Of course it can’t provide all the features.

#27Great for Windows users, but is there something like ‘Canva for marketing/explainer videos’ but online/Mac?
Re: Microsoft Clipchamp
#28i use windows movie maker. It still exists, you can download it as binary and it's a pretty quick video editor with lots of options. I was unable to figure out the new win10 editor or chipchamp
Re: Microsoft Clipchamp
#29The first review on the Microsoft Store should be featured on the home page:
"Found this during a search for the word "clip." The app's description is dishonest, to say the least. This is not an app. It's a wrapper for an unidentified website. As soon as I opened the "app", it asked for personally identifiable information. The wrapper makes impossible to verify the site's digital certificate. It was suspicious, to say the least. The description says it is a Microsoft product, but don't fall for it. In the past, malicious apps under false identity has slipped into the Store. Either it is not a Microsoft app or Microsoft has fallen shockingly low."

This is fully web based. It works online and on Macs
