I used this software (the app version) a couple weeks ago for the first time. I grabbed a great clip while playing a game and wanted to show it to a friend, but I didn't want to send the full 500MB 60s video when the clip was only ~6 seconds. I didn't want to spend a ton of time downloading proper editing software so I gave it a shot. It's a little clunky if I'm honest, it feels like an evolution of Windows Movie Maker; it works in a pinch, just don't expect anything professional to come out of it.

i have similar use cases, avidemux is a small free program and it excels in this trimming scenario. if you dont change video output settings (copy) it will trim in a few seconds, no rendering or transcoding

  The feature only snaps to the nearest keyframe though.

    Video game recordings are normally not terribly long gop (couple seconds) because the scenery isn't static enough for that anyway.

On Windows 10 (not sure about win 11) there is now a built in app called Video Editor, which seems like an evolution of Movie Maker.

I usually use the Xbox app that's probably preinstalled on your Windows computer anyway; it's built to integrate with the game bar and can cut videos quite easily. For this reason, and the fact that Windows already ships a clip editor, I'm not sure what Microsoft is planning to do with this. Maybe they'll replace the built in editor at some point?

  My guess is that really it’s an acquisition of engineers unless they already have some kind of market dominance in this space. I don’t see any novel tech here, but I’m not the target audience.
