As a researcher who has spent countless hours coaching teams and creating highlight reels using various video editing tools, I must say that Microsoft’s latest update to Clipchamp with Minecraft and Sea of Thieves templates is nothing short of fantastic! Having been an avid gamer since the 80s, I can appreciate the nostalgia these templates bring and how they can elevate a video’s production value without requiring advanced technical skills.


Clipchamp’s video editor from Microsoft now includes templates inspired by Minecraft and Sea of Thieves, which are accessible for free if you have a personal account with Clipchamp. Additionally, Microsoft has incorporated Minecraft-themed elements such as stickers, images, videos, sound effects, and GIFs into the Clipchamp library. These updates to Clipchamp were recently detailed in a blog post by Microsoft.

Clipchamp is an intuitive video editing tool that offers templates and drag-and-drop content, making it easy for users to customize. By swapping in various text, adjusting element colors, and making other modifications, you can tailor the templates to fit your videos perfectly. I utilize these templates in Clipchamp to produce highlight reels for my coaching team. They provide a more polished look without demanding specialized skills or consuming too much time.

In these new templates for Minecraft and Sea of Thieves, you’ll find them neatly organized into categories or quickly locate them via Clipchamp’s search bar. Currently, there are an abundance of Sea of Thieves templates available, boasting impressive intro screens and live stream overlays. Meanwhile, the Minecraft templates showcase beloved characters from the franchise, giving your videos a more genuine feel compared to movies with budgets as high as $150 million.

The debut trailer for the Minecraft Movie was unveiled recently, featuring an illustrious cast and being adapted from one of the world’s most renowned video game series. However, the response to the trailer has been less than favorable, with many critics labeling it as “cursed” and expressing regret towards Minecraft’s storyline.

A reimagined animated version of the Minecraft trailer already has 3.4 million views and 372,000 likes on YouTube. The official trailer from Warner Bros. for the Minecraft Movie has 34 million views and 657,000 likes. Those figures are quite close when you consider one is a fan-made trailer that was created in four days.

2021 saw YouTube eliminating like counters from videos, making it challenging to gauge reactions to the official Minecraft Movie and animated trailer trailers precisely. However, using the Return YouTube Dislike extension on your browser reveals an interesting discrepancy: the official trailer amassed approximately 1.5 million dislikes, while the animated one garnered a mere 749 dislikes. Keep in mind that these numbers are based on “extrapolated extension user behavior,” making them somewhat approximate rather than exact figures. Nevertheless, given this data, it seems clear that the Minecraft Movie trailer has received substantial disapproval among viewers.
