Following backlash, Microsoft has added more features to Windows 11 Clipchamp inbox app

Microsoft introduced a new Windows 11 video-editing app called Clipchamp with build 22572 in the Dev Channel at the start of this month. However, it faced a lot of ridicule considering the high price point, relative lack of features, and the fact that Microsoft owns the company behind the app so it doesn't make for good optics to charge for an inbox app.

Following backlash, Microsoft has finally added more capabilities to different tiers for Clipchamp, as spotted by @FireCubeStudios on Twitter. The most notable change is that 1080p video exports are now free, the same tier was previously limited to 480p. Below, we have summarized the differences between the launch version and the existing version of the Clipchamp subscription tiers:

Features (NOW) Features (BEFORE)
Basic (Free)
  • Unlimited video exports
  • 1080p exports (full HD)
  • 480p exports

  • Unlimited video exports
  • 1080p exports (full HD)
  • Unlimited cloud storage

  • Brand kit
  • 1080p exports (full HD)
  • Unlimited cloud storage

As can be seen above, the price across all tiers is the same, but Microsoft is now offering more value, which will hopefully appease some passionate content creators who were angered by Clipchamp's subscription model at launch.

While the lack of editing features as compared to the competition likely remains, Microsoft will likely update Clipchamp over time to bridge that gap too.
