This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it's just the project file I'm not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are Clipchamp project files big?
Just think of all that lovely video information for their AI to harvest...
How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it's just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren't even being uploaded, that doesn't seem very useful for AI training.
It is so they can have the data for AI training on their servers.
