Yesterday it was announced Microsoft bought Clipchamp
Clipchamp has raised a total of $15.3M in funding over 4 rounds .
Oh the dilution!!!
Wed 8 Sep 2021 - Browser-based video editor Clipchamp disappears into the bowels of Microsoft 365

Microsoft buys Clipchamp to fix Windows’ lackluster video tools

It appears Microsoft is trying to buy their way out of a problem
For all the BWers that say it's easy to build these tools, you need to answer one question...
If it's so easy, why didn't Microsoft, a 2+ trillion dollar software company build a browser based video editing tool, eh?
This can be a 'nice' complement to Verb interactive video
Could be a great one-two punch for Microsoft
Also , Google is a big partner for Clipchamp so I wonder how this will play out with Google now that Microsoft owns them. You know they compete in most things.
