New Instagram Edits App Launches: Elevate Your Video Editing Game with AI-Powered Tools

Instagram has officially launched the Edits app to the public this Tuesday, following its announcement nearly three months ago. This mobile video editing application provides a variety of creative tools, including high-quality video capture, keyframing, automatic captions, and customizable camera settings such as resolution, frame rate, and dynamic range. According to Instagram, users of Edits can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) features to amplify their video editing creativity with options like AI image animation and various effects. The app is accessible on both iOS and Android platforms.

Features of the Edits App

Meta Platforms, the parent entity of Instagram and Edits, states that this new application is designed to support creators in expressing themselves more effectively across any platform, rather than being restricted to Facebook and Instagram. It reportedly streamlines the video editing workflow, allowing them to capture superior quality footage and offering speedy editing tools.

Creators have the ability to modify their camera settings regarding frame rate, resolution, and dynamic range. They can record videos lasting up to 10 minutes, providing a higher quality compared to what Instagram offers. The platform claims to allow quick access to features such as touch-ups, one-tap green screens, music catalog, timer, and countdown functionalities.

Within Edits, the keyframing tool enables precise control over the animation of position, rotation, and scale of video clips. Users can also convert still images into videos by employing the AI image animation functionality. Additionally, the app allows users to alter their backgrounds with a green screen or overlay videos. A diverse selection of fonts, sound and voice effects, filters, stickers, and other elements are available within the app. It is reported to improve audio quality by eliminating background noise while also providing automatically generated and customizable captions. An «Ideas» tab serves as a centralized location for storing all the creative thoughts that come to mind.

Videos crafted with Edits can be swiftly shared on Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. Alternatively, creators have the option to export their videos for sharing on different platforms without any watermarks. It is also equipped with a live insights dashboard which offers detailed engagement metrics for both followers and non-followers, including skip rates.

Initially introduced for iOS, the app is now downloadable from the App Store and the Google Play Store.
