I should've known. Microsoft is trying to entice me to get
Clipchamp, saying it's free, but then it turns out there's a crap free edition and then a paid edition? Though I'm getting some conflicting reviews about how decent the free version is.
One way to supposedly actually get the Really Good version for free is having a Microsoft 365 subscription, which I don't have because I paid one lump fee for my Microsoft software package years ago because the thought of paying monthly for years was a turnoff. I'm not a fan of subscriptions and prefer to own stuff instead of basically renting it and paying endlessly for it.
I also haven't "upgraded" my laptop to Microsoft 11 because I heard it sucks.
