Summary

  • Instagram owner Meta has released a video editing app called Edits, which is available on iOS and Android devices worldwide and is completely free.
  • It allows users to create videos up to 10 minutes long, with a range of customisable features, such as fonts, video filters, stickers and sound effects.
  • The results can be shared on Instagram and other social media sites, with resolutions of up to 1080p.
  • Meta aims to compete with CapCut, a similar video editing platform, and draw TikTok and YouTube Shorts users looking for alternative ways to edit videos.
  • While CapCut exports videos with a watermark, Edits does not, which provides an advantage for users who do not want to pay the monthly subscription fee that CapCut requires to remove its watermark.
  • Further customisation features will be added by Meta in the future.
