Arr, mateys! 'Tis a tale o' Microsoft's update! They be takin' away the Video Editor from Windows 10 Photos, replacin' it with Clipchamp! 'Tis causin' quite the stir, aye! A debate be brewin' amongst the landlubbers!
Microsoft has recently updated the Photos app in Windows 10, which has sparked some discussion among users. The new app is missing some editing tools and no longer has a built-in Video Editor. Instead, Microsoft has replaced it with a web-based app called Clipchamp.If you have the updated Video Editor, you'll receive a pop-up message stating that it's no longer available and that you can access your previous video projects by downloading the Photos Legacy app in Settings. However, Windows Latest speculates that this could be the beginning of the end for this generation of the Photos app and its editing capabilities.
The Photos Legacy app is similar to the Windows 11 version and has angered users due to the removal of the Clarity slider and the Spot fix feature. This move may be because Microsoft wants to steer users towards its web-based Clipchamp, which it acquired in 2021.
Clipchamp is a free browser-based video editor that allows users to make high-definition videos. It's being positioned as a replacement for Windows Movie Maker, which was officially decommissioned in 2017.
However, some users are not happy with this change. Windows 10's Video Editor was known for its simplicity and ability to encode smaller-sized videos compared to Clipchamp. One user complained about the size difference between the two editors.
It remains to be seen if Microsoft has plans for a repackaged Video Editor in the future. Users are encouraged to share their thoughts with Microsoft, as the company has a history of listening to user feedback.
