The company plan to increase the rollout over time as it monitors feedback. Microsoft began to roll out a preview of the redesigned Photos app to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel yesterday. “As Clipchamp is equipped with all the basic tools you’d expect, like trimming and splitting, as well as more pro-style features like transitions and animated text, the new Photos app experience no longer includes the legacy Video Editor.”īut if users prefer to continue using the legacy Photos app, it remains available in the Microsoft Store as “ Microsoft Photos Legacy.” “Earlier this year, we introduced Clipchamp as our new inbox video editor, which is focused on making video creation easy, fast, and fun on Windows,” says Grochocki.

Instead, Grochocki suggests using Clipchamp which Microsoft introduced as its new inbox video editor in March after the company acquired the app last year.

However, the new update to the Photos app does have one crucial drawback in that users will no longer be able to use the legacy app’s video editor.
