Microsoft 365 users can now access Clipchamp's premium filters and effects
Microsoft 365 subscribers can now enjoy premium filters and effects from the Clipchamp movie editor. The announcement came after the deployment of the update to version 22H2which brings the app to Windows 11 users' machines.
Injecting the app into the latest version of Windows 11 seemed pointless at first, given that users can just get it at the Microsoft Store at any time. However, going back on the company's 2021 plan to integrate it into Office and Microsoft 365 makes the action more logical. As it seems, Microsoft wants to get the most out of the app after buying it in 2021 by offering it to its users and making it readily available to them. And to make its arrival more enjoyable for Microsoft 365 users, the company said premium access to the app's filters and effects will be automatically unlocked for them. With this, said subscribers can use all 57 filters available in Clipchamp's library, such as Warm Countryside, Dreamscape, Soft B&W, Winter Sunset, Cool Tone, and Sunrise.
Currently, Microsoft offers two plans under the app: Free and essential. They replaced the old four-tier subscription that the app offered, namely Free, Creator, Business, and Business Platinum. These offers ranged from $0 to $40 per month, but Microsoft's price change reduced the maximum subscription payment to just $12 per month. Additionally, the tech giant has made the free plan more useful by upping its old 720P export resolution to 1080P. Free subscribers can also enjoy free audio, images, stock video, filters, effects and unlimited exports without watermark.
Microsoft's decision to make premium effects and filters free for 365 users also appears to be a way to attract more Windows users to its Essentials plan, which in addition to premium filters and effects additionally offers a branded kit for logo and color management, content backup capability and premium audio, image and video stock. And if Microsoft is really serious about making Clipchamp more familiar and a familiar movie editor for its users, we should expect more surprises from the company, like new features or possibly more access. premium in the future, not just for Microsoft 365 subscribers, but also for regular Windows users.
