Does Windows 11 Have a Built-in Video Editor?

Hi,

I’m exploring video editing options and was wondering if Windows 11 comes with a built-in video editor. I remember older versions of Windows had something like Windows Movie Maker, but I’m not sure if there’s a similar tool now.

I’m looking for a basic video editor for trimming, merging, and adding simple effects or text to videos. If there’s a built-in app, is it good enough for casual editing, or should I look for third-party options? Would appreciate it if anyone can share their experiences or point me in the right direction. 

  • No Windows 11 bulit-in video editor any more since Windows 10. The stock Windows Movie Maker was removed by Microsoft. For advanced video editing, such as trim, crop or enhance, below is a nice place to get started.

    P.S. I don't recommend online video editor as it is slow and take a lot of time for upload and download.

    Now, if you want something native to Windows 11, Microsoft actually has a built-in tool called Photos, which you can use for basic video editing. It’s super straightforward and lets you create videos using photos, videos, music, and effects without needing to download anything extra.
