ClipChamp is an easy video editing tool for beginners and individuals, featuring drag, drop, and create functionality.

About

ClipChamp

ClipChamp is Microsoft's answer to "everyone should be able to make videos." Drag, drop, edit—it's that simple. Now that it's part of the Microsoft family, Windows users get it built-in, which is pretty sweet. You've got your templates, stock footage, basic AI features, and even a free tier that's actually useful. It's video editing for the masses.

But "for the masses" means it's not for the pros. Complex effects, deep color work, advanced audio—that's not ClipChamp's jam. And being browser-based, you might hit some speed bumps with bigger projects. It's evolving fast, but it's still more "my first video editor" than "my only video editor." So what are you after: easy and accessible, or professional and powerful? For creators who need trendy AI transitions and automatic viral clip generation, specialized tools might be a better fit.

Qlip is an AI content multiplier for podcasters and creators that uses AI to automatically spot and extract highlights from long videos.

About

Qlip

Qlip.ai is your content multiplication tool. Feed it your podcast, long video, or stream, and it'll slice and dice it into social-ready clips faster than you can say "algorithm." The AI spots the highlights, adds captions, and basically turns your one piece of content into a week's worth of posts. Perfect for creators who need to be everywhere at once.

But here's the thing—it's the AI calling the shots. What it thinks is share-worthy might not align with your brand voice or audience preferences. You'll get volume, but you might sacrifice the personal touch that makes your content unique. It's efficient, not artistic. So what's your priority: keeping up with the content treadmill or maintaining complete creative control? For podcast creators, specialized AI podcast clip generators or YouTube clip makers might offer better control over your content's narrative.

I like it for what it is - it's really easy to use and there are a lot of useful features in the free version. If you just need to cut basic videos and add some text, I think it's a great option.

Awful. Don't buy it. There are far better out there and while I get some features because of my Microsoft monthly account, it makes it difficult to use to force you to the Premium edition.

I HATE, HATE this app with a living passion. I spent 10 hours creating a video that I now can't download no matter what I do. It doesn't even start to download; it just does nothing.
