It seems quite unfortunate for the education sector to lose the Clips app. There are few if any video editing apps that have the simplicity of narrating over photos/videos while pinching and zooming in real-time quite like the Clips app; easy enough for 6 year olds to use.
Apple announcement(?) here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/123359
I wonder if there will be an alternative coming or any way to feedback on this decision.
Also wondering what is everyone else’s thoughts on this.

Whilst Clips had very little development over the past few years, it was a great free tool particularly for vertical video creation - which iMovie still lags behind on. As you've also mentioned - it was easy enough to pick up in K-2.
We do a yearly film festival competition for our students and it was a terrific tool for adding extra animations and effects to complement the timeline in iMovie.
Apple suggests 3 apps as replacements, but they're all based on In-App Purchases and/or Ads, and Apple's School Manager method of procurement doesn't include ways to upgrade to the full features.
DaVinci Resolve for iPad is very full-featured (even without upgrading to their full version), but it's also a lot more complex to learn and definitely not something a 6 year old could pick up.
A real shame that there's not a lot of effort being put in here by Apple when other creative tool vendors offer rich tools that are continually improving for free on the assumption that people will use them as they move into College and beyond.
