Which should you choose?

Microsoft Clipchamp: Browser and Windows video editor with templates and AI features.

iMovie: Apple's free video editor for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
