Re:Microsoft Clipchamp on Saturday August 27, 2022 @11:53AM (#32620325)
As someone who has also worked on an in-browser video editor before, I do tip my hat to the developers working on Clipchamp. I think it's one of the better implemented products in this space considering that the memory-intensive process of encoding videos has not traditionally scaled very well into the browser. That being said, I'll probably still be sticking to something like iMovie or Resolve for more basic video editing since native NLEs are still way more performant overall (and they're free to use).

To be fair, the full book, "Refactoring UI" — from which this article sourced — has a section on color accessibility. To quote from there:

> "Always use color to support something that your design is already saying; never use it as the only means of communication."

Wow, as a big multicopter and fixed wing enthusiast/hobbyist, I find this to be super awesome. It also literally hit home for me because I noticed that it was captured only a few miles away from where I grew up, haha. These technologies look very promising for things like mapping agriculture and providing recon in environmental disasters.
