Same for safari indeed.

Not supporting Safari is understandable for personal/toy project because you can't as easily test Safari without buying some Apple kit – whereas I can run Firefox, Chromium based browsers, and so forth, on my existing PCs and phones, in VMs if I want to check different OSs for odd differences.

Not good from though for, as in this case, something from MS.

And I don't block Safari, I just consider it a third class citizen when it comes to what little time I have to give for support.

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/

The OP link should be this. But I found that even on MacOS Chrome I got the 'browser unsupported' message

Is it only me or does the title’s color scheme hurt the eyes?

I ditched Clipchamp in favour of Flixier. It is 10 times better. It is usable on other platforms, allows both video and audio processing (including features missing on Clipchamp, like audio eq and green screen processing).

I am no associated with Flixier in any form but a customer.

$30 a month just to export at full resolution and $15 a month to export at 1080p, free only allows 720p. (Yearly sub gives 20% discount)

Unfortunately, I could totally get behind throttling export speed or maybe the other stuff but it's just very neutered

Feels like 2000s again, we are supposed to switch browser for each site again.

I swear a god, when I read the name I though MS have released a game featuring Clippy as the main character. Must be getting old, I guess. :-)

A rather simple utility that for some reason requires a login, I see no value in that when there are so many analogs that don't.

What's your favorite alternative?

It's $8 for me, the yearly sub is a 42% discount.

Even at $15, that's pretty fair given that it's a tool that someone is going to use for their job or at least an involved hobby.

Works for me(tm). No, really - I just navigated to the page with Firefox 103 on Wind10/64 and just got a normal website for the editor, with download links, videos, etc. Nothing about me needing to use a chrome based browser. Maybe they changed this?

I don't see the message until I click the "Try for Free" button.
