Meta has officially launched ‘Edits’, a new video editing app designed to rival TikTok’s CapCut. Available now on iOS and Android, Edits offers advanced features like AI-generated animations, green screen capabilities, and subject cutouts. The app aims to cater to content creators seeking more professional tools beyond what’s available in the standard Instagram app.
The release of Edits comes amid ongoing uncertainties surrounding TikTok and its associated apps in the U.S., providing Meta an opportunity to attract creators looking for reliable alternatives.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri acknowledges the similarities between Edits and CapCut but emphasizes that Edits is tailored more for creative professionals and will eventually offer a broader range of tools.
Future updates for Edits are expected to include keyframe animations, additional AI editing tools, and collaborative video editing features, further enhancing its appeal to creators.
