Windows Central take
I used Clipchamp for years. In part because I’m a news writer at Windows Central and need to be familiar with Microsoft products, but I continued to use the app for light editing.
Clipchamp improved after it was acquired by Microsoft in several ways, including support for 1080p exports through the free version. It’s not designed to be a competitor to Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, but it’s a lightweight app with almost no learning curve.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has taken several steps to make Clipchamp more difficult to access. The video editor now requires a OneDrive account to create or edit projects. And now, the iOS version of Clipchamp is going away as well.
I had hoped an Android version would be released, but considering Microsoft’s reason for retiring Clipchamp for iOS, it seems unlikely a new mobile version will come out.
