This is the dumbest thing a human has ever made. It won't let me export my video for NO REASON. This app actually sucks.
by Olivia Johnson, 2023-10-16

I will be absolutely overjoyed to add that one missing star if/when the following suggestions are worked on: 1. There really ought to be an unambiguously intuitive reverse-clip capability in the free version. I was rather disappointed to discover that an (IIRC) outside instructional video seemingly furnished users with a workaround for this, only to find out that the method in question actually showed said users how to noodle around with the *order* of clips being worked with. And even if there *is* a thread of truth in the existence of such a turorial, IMO needless complication would set in. 2. Re this next particular observation: File management can be "much" more often than not rather confusing. For instance, when I delete a project on the main page, am I "yeeting" the files associated with them as well? It would seem that I'm not; but it takes me an IMO inordinate amount of time backtracking between Clipchamp and my Files' s Downloads file & trash bin to find all that out. Another problem I have is weeding out created movies that I've either saved already or the app identifies as "Untitled" because the original files have been deleted, whether accidentally or on purpose. ANd lastly, the files I save automatically go to their assigned destination folder in my Chromebook; making the app's save-to-cloud prompt IMO somewhat redundant (I don't remember of there is a "radio button"/checkbox with a "Do not ask again" in this respect.) If this critique somehow makes less sense to you than how I'm trying to convey it, it's not your fault. I'm eager to master the finer points of this app (inability to pay for the full version for those without Paypal or credit card ::raises hand:: is an unfortunate reality). I'm simpl trying my best to comprehend video editing tasks/issues within a non-iMovie framework. But I *do* hope these two overall suggestions can be addressed with subsequent version releases. Thank you.
