Although not the most powerful on the market today, Windows 10 has its own hidden video editor that gets the job done. It’s a feature of the Photos app and is what remains of the Story Remix app that Windows 10 came out with back in 2017.
The Windows 10 Video Editor works sort of like the Windows Movie Maker. You can create your own home movies and slideshows or edit other already created ones either manually or automatically.
So, if you’re unable to get your hands on a more powerful editor due to time, cost, or whatever the reason, Windows 10 Video Editor should work in a pinch. Since you likely have no idea where it’s located, we’d like to take you on a short tour.
