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. :-)

The name probably comes from Twitch culture, the idea of a “clipchamp” being someone who cut a clip of a stream in just the right way (often intentionally cutting out context to make a moment more funny). The opposite is a “clipchimp”, when a clip is cut poorly.

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?

Microsoft Video Editor. It’s simple and fast, and comes with Windows. Unless I were a Youtuber I stop there because there’s no subscription.

WebCodecs is missing. They say it's "worth prototyping" [1] but I don't know whether they are working on it. 1: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/

Stuff like that and late AV1[0] are one reason I moved to Edge after 19 years on Firefox. More so just that I was impressed with Edge when I tried it. Brave also stood out to me when I tested every browser. It’s fast but has the distinction of being the only semi-major browser that’s fully open source other than Firefox. Edge is still very good, I would say it’s the best browser going but I’d be tarred and feathered for that.

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 citi…

I went down the rabbit hole of trying to connect to iOS Safari’s web inspector from my Linux machine last week. From the trail of activity on GitHub it looks like it might have been possible during about 2015–2020 but the open source adapter has since been effectively abandoned, with too few people doing the necessary ongoing maintenance. I spent a while trying to do it myself but it requires a deeper understanding of WebKit and Chromium internals than I possess.

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

Hi! Engineer who actually works on Clipchamp.

Sorry you ran into that issue. Firefox support is in the works - we plan to support the same set of browsers as the other Office features, as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/which-browsers-wo...

If this tech looks interesting, come join us! We have a bunch of open engineering positions in Brisbane that are 100% WFH from Australia: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/search-results?keywords=...

Just look at that Windows mess (ehh 'base' install) from the Site: https://images.ctfassets.net/b4k16c7lw5ut/95VgtrEkyNEPkTKQ0r... Candy Crush and McAfee....really Microsoft??

And when that screenshot was taken, it did not actually finish downloading all the adware yet. Normally at the end of a (non-business) Windows install you have around 6 adware programs, depending on the region. Disney+, multiple "games", etc.

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

Works for me (M1 Pro MBP, updated Chrome)

I think using Chrome or Edge for PWAs and Firefox for general browsing is an acceptable compromise. I don't need to use the same program for video editing and reading news articles etc, although it would be nice if I could.
