commanderWindows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive
SomeGadgetGuyTruth.
Am still clinging to Win 10 Pro. Since I mostly game with the PC, and watch videos with that machine… do I really need to upgrade the OS as long as the games run? At least at this point, I won’t get a gaming session interrupted by an update anymore, which is nice.
kescusayIf it’s not broke then don’t fix it.
Yaah… naah.
I’d just pull the drive, reinstall on a new one, redownload the games and go merrily on my way. I have ZERO on the machine that is so important that I’d do anything other than that.
NGL, it’s current install is getting a bit cluttered since the last time I redid it with a full erase and reformat, so it wouldn’t be too terrible.
I don’t even have an email account set up on the device.
There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.
If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.
If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.
Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.
comador I wish that were true, but it’s not.
As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.
Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it’s also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it’s how work requirements go sometimes.
Kdenlive too.
I switched to kdenlive after I couldn’t get Davinci to function properly on linux
@Larry KDEN! I new I was forgetting something. Gonna add that to the list in my reply.
Kden is better than it has any right to be. I’m not professional by any means, but it’s quite useful
DaVinci is also a one time payment with lifetime updates if you want the premium features, no stupid subscription or rebuying when the new version releases.
The worst part about it is that it doesn’t officially support Linux very well.
@Joelk111 I've been on Resolve since 15! Never spent another dime on it.
I only include the free version in conversations like these, because if you were gonna use something like Clipchamp, you probably didn't need all the extra features of Resolve Studio.
Blender has a Video Editing mode UI mode too.
I’m not sure how it compares all I do in terms of editing is typically shortening video files. So if it’s missing features people would expect, I likely wouldn’t even know
@Kazumara I had no idea! I need to try that!
ShotCut is my personal favourite of those. Simple but powerful, though the UI is admittedly clunky.
@nightlily Whoops that was weird. In my brain I had put CapCut on the list and not ShotCut. That's what I get for not re-reading MY OWN original post.
But yes, ShotCut is REALLY good LOL.
And this one… browser based opencut.app
In case this is something of a deal breaker for someone, please try setting up a VM and playing around with Linux. You don’t need to install it on your main system, or try dual booting it, but load up a VM and give it a shot. You don’t have to stick with it and if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for you or it’s too confusing or whatever, that’s fine. At least you can say that you gave it a shot.
You don’t even need Linux. Kdenlive has a Windows version.
SalamenceFurylol I already have davinci, Microsoft, you can’t get me :)
Specially fitting that one FOSS alternative to this one is openSHOT

The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.
According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.
This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are ClipChamp project files big?
I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change.
Just think of all that lovely video information for their AI to harvest…

Is it still Enshitification if it was shitty from the start?
Matty_rThings can always get worse!

Hi, I’m an AI engineer based in Japan, and I’m expanding into the U.S. market to work with more long-term clients. I’m looking for an American collaborator who can act as a communication bridge between me and U.S. clients.
I will handle the technical side myself, including project planning, AI development, and software implementation. Your role would be to join meetings, help with smooth communication, and support the client relationship side.
If this sounds like a good fit, please send me a message.
My Kdenlive video editor continues to save wherever I want it to for free. Just saying.
And yes, it has a Windows version, if you’re too much of a coward to migrate to Linux.

Cosmonaut_CollinThe best feature they’ve kept out is the subscription you have to pay to cancel.
Free movie editing on windows peaked on fucking vista.
I miss windows movie maker, it was so simple and effective. Of course thats probably why they killed it.
TIL microslop provided a video editing tool post 2020
TIL it’s been enshittified to the point of not bothering to ever use it
𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘I will never ever never ever use one drive. I’ll raise my kids never to use it.
I WILL NEVER USE ONE DRIVE!
