    My laptop is currently out of commission due to power and screen problems but still want to edit, upscale and upload videos. As a result, I am currently using a Chromebook that I got as a gift. I used to use things like Virtualdub2, FFMPEG, MeGUi, PowerDirector, etc. to make my videos better but with my laptop being broken as it is, I need something that can work on Chromebook. Does anyone know of any video editing software that can work on Chrome OS? I am not looking for something to advanced, jus tosmehtat can work on this Chromebook. Here are the specs:

    HP Chromebook x360
    Intel Celeron N4020 Dual Core Processor
    14'' HD micro edge display
    4GB DDR4 system memory
    64 GB eMMC storage.

    I could try to use my library computers but I am not sure if they have video editing software.

    Is ChromeOS capable of running a WINE variant? I know VirtualDub works under WINE...

    (I've always thought ChromeOS was mostly a form of Linux under the hood.)

    I had no idea that you can install a VM in Chromebook. I thought that ChromeOS is different from Windows that you cannot install Windows apps on it.

    I am not sure if I used Linux outside so this might be a first for me.

    I thought there would be some for Android at least.

    Hate to say it, but my experience has been that most ChromeOS machines are somewhere between mildly to seriously underpowered. NOT the kind of machine you want doing video editing, and ESPECIALLY NOT the kind of one that would have such an app inside a VM. Performance will be vastly degraded from what you would expect natively in Win10.

    ChromeOS is a form/variant of linux, but it is a very special, closed-environment version. As closed/self-contained/constrained as Android is (if not more so) compared to your general Linux distros. So it isn't simple plug-n-play when it comes to apps or drivers from the overall Linux-verse. ChromeOS is branded as a "lightweight" OS for a reason.

    The whole point of a virtual machine is to run other operating systems and software for those operating systems -- within another operating system. But getting a VM to run Win10 on your Chromebook will be nearly impossible. It doesn't have enough memory or storage.

    I guess I will have to see if my library any editors. Looks like I will just have to wait until my laptop gets repaired.

    I figured that would be the case.
