How many times on that landing page do they mention "Windows PC"? Eleven times! We got the message! It looks like they're trying to resist "Great software, but can you release a Mac version"?

That was a landing page for Windows version, what do you expect?. Here is home page: https://clipchamp.com/

I have a very, very slow connection particularly for upload. Releasing a desktop "app" which wraps a website for video editing of all things... Feels like a spit in the face.

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…

On Windows 10 (not sure about win 11) there is now a built in app called Video Editor, which seems like an evolution of Movie Maker.

For people who don't want to sign up but still like the idea of a video editor running in a browser (that doesn't upload anything), I am working on an alternative: https://vidmix.app

Using Firefox 105. What features are bad or missing in Firefox, and do you know if Mozilla is working on fixing them?

I have been wondering for years I'd this product is ffmpeg transpiled into JavaScript so it can run in the browser. It feels like there might be a nice open source opportunity here if so, although I imagine they've spent most of the last few years dealing with all the edge cases that make this work.

Stick 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.

DaVinci Resolve has a free version

Firefox users are asked to please stay away: It looks like your browser is not supported To use Clipchamp, make sure you're using the latest version of Google Chrome, or the latest Microsoft Edge

Same for safari indeed.
