The 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 sa…

i 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

Kdenlive is pretty decent on windows if you need a bit more control.

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 Mak…

Even Microsoft couldn't be THAT evil

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 tho…

When people call Clippy evil, it's not because of his role as an assistant for Microsoft products. Rather, they're referring to his later actions in running several cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes.

It was really a tragic fall.
