Clipchamp, a privately owned company headquartered in Australia, founded in 2014, employs approximately 40 individuals and reported $5.8M in revenue as of 2023. The company operates an online video editor delivered through an in-browser platform that provides users access to video editing tools and features. These capabilities include cropping, resizing, transitions, motion titles, and Green Screen functionality. The platform further offers an 800-thousand asset stock library and hundreds of editable video templates. Clipchamp primarily serves everyday editors, including creators, small business owners, and teachers, and is utilized by over 17 million individuals worldwide.
Clipchamp, Windows 11's built-in video editor, now mandates saving projects to OneDrive for editing, requiring a Microsoft account for both new and existing projects. This update, implemented by March 23, 2026, allows media files to be stored locally, but project files must reside in Microsoft's cloud, potentially hindering cross-device workflows if media is not similarly synced. Earlier, on March 19, 2026, Microsoft introduced the requirement for OneDrive integration for all Clipchamp project saving and editing, thereby removing the previous option for local project file storage. This move is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to integrate Windows software into a cloud-first ecosystem, extending even to applications offered as free and embedded within Windows 11.
