Microsoft has reported today that it has acquired the in-browser video creation and editing service Clipchamp which was founded back in 2013 with a mission “to empower anyone to tell stories worth sharing“. Clipchamp has over 17 million video creators registered. The Clipchamp team explain a little more about their acquisition by Microsoft.
“Few companies in tech have the legacy and reach that Microsoft has. We all grew up with iconic Microsoft products and have been using them ever since. Becoming part of Microsoft allows us to become part of a future legacy. Under no other scenario could our future look more exciting than what’s ahead of us now. At Clipchamp we have always said that we’re not suffering from a lack of opportunity, there absolutely is an abundance of opportunity in video. We just need to figure out how to seize it. Inside Microsoft we can approach seizing our opportunity in entirely new ways.”
