Instagram has launched a new video editing app called Edits, designed to simplify video creation on mobile devices. The app aims to provide creators with comprehensive tools to express themselves across various platforms, not just on Facebook or Instagram.
Key Features
Edits consolidates multiple video creation tools into one platform, addressing the challenges of using various apps and complex workflows. Key features include:
- Flexible Video Creation: Longer camera capture, easy project management, and high-quality, watermark-free exports.
- Powerful Editing Tools: Frame-accurate timeline, auto-captions, video overlays, AI image animation, and a high-quality camera with a built-in green screen.
- Direct Sharing: Users can share videos directly to Facebook and Instagram or export them without a watermark.
Integration and Future Updates
To use Edits, users must log in with their Instagram accounts, which allows access to profile data and analytics. The app will evolve based on creator feedback, with planned updates that include:
- Keyframes: For precise animation of clips.
- Modify: AI tools to quickly adjust video aesthetics.
- Collaboration: Options to share drafts for feedback.
- Expanded Creative Options: More fonts, animations, transitions, voice effects, filters, sound effects, and royalty-free music.
Edits is available for free on the App Store and Google Play Store, encouraging creators to download and start using the app.
