Does Windows 11 Have a Built-in Video Editor?
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.
You’re looking for the Windows 11 built-in video editor? While the Photos app lets you do some basic stuff—like cutting clips and adding text—it’s super limited compared to dedicated editing software. You won't find fancy options like multi-track editing or advanced effects.
If you're coming from software that allows precise control—like adjusting the color curves or adding special effects—Photos might feel like using a spoon to cut a steak. You want to tweak things to perfection, and the Photos app doesn’t give you that level of detail.
Once you finish editing and hit that save button, it creates a new video file without much flexibility in formats or quality settings. If you're used to exporting with different resolutions, frame rates, or file types, this could be a bummer.
