- Instagram Edits is now available as a free video editor on Android and iOS
- It is the goal response to Capcut with a great emphasis on integration with the main Instagram platform
- Edits also presents some tools with ia such as cuts and animation
Instagram’s response to Capcut is finally here. Edits was mocked for the first time by Adam Mosseri, the giant head of the goal social networks, in mid -January, when Tiktok faced his first prohibition in the United States. Originally it was supposed to be launched in February, then in March, but here we are in April and today is the day.
As initially promised, Instagram Edits is available for free in Android and iOS. It takes a family editor based on the timeline offered by deep integration with Instagram, which means that you can see its metrics, see other reels, navigate through all available sounds and audio clips, and even apply popular effects.
Unlike Capcut, which is owned by the Tiktok, Bytedance or other video editing applications for mobile devices, Instagram is invoicing editions such as a single window. As you can see in screenshots below, there is a lot of focus on creation and ideation.
Beyond importing videos, making cuts, adding text and implementing effects, you can use adhesive notes to create ideas lists or administer several projects.
As noted above, you can see other reels and look for them without leaving the application. In addition, it will have the ability to save notes associated with them, perhaps one that you want to remind or simply an excellent personalized audio that you want to use in your next video.
However, the great attraction for Instagram faithful is a high quality promised camera for “improved video recording.” In this way, you can capture and edit directly in the application, instead of shooting in another application and then moving it to Instagram. Again, as a target trend, the goal is to possess the entire process.
Now, whether film or amount, there are many available editing tools. Initially, Mosseri mocked that the editions would have all the tools I would expect, and those are here. However, Instagram is launching some more unique, including the ability to extract popular effects such as a green screen.
The most advanced effects, such as cuts, which allow you to isolate a person or object on the screen with the tracking, or antimeter, which probably uses a LLM goal, you can also convert the images into video for attractive moments.
Both seem quite useful and are located at the bottom of the interface as a row of tools. Above it, it will have a classic timeline that goes back to Imovie and looks very reminiscent of Capcut. It will have its main video track with audio underneath, as well as space for on -screen elements such as text or overlaps.
Although I have not tried the editions, the central functions seem to be on par with those of other video editors, and it should be quite easy to quickly create an edition with drag and release, cuts, divisions and more. Edits also has a subtitles tool, as well as options to record an off voice and add other elements.
Instagram also promises to listen to comments, and already has a list of features that are configured to arrive in the next updates to the editions, including the ability to use AI to modify videos, probably with a notice; Key photograms, collaboration characteristics and an expansion to incorporated elements such as sources, filters and voice effects, among other things.
The platform also promises to listen to comments about the editions and use it to inform the Development Roadmap. I am curious to see how editions accumulate, since Capcut, which uses a lot, disappeared for a time that Tiktok was prohibited. You can edit up to 10 minutes of video, and Instagram promises exports without water marks to your own platform, as well as general savings to the device.
In addition, although the characteristics of AI are not or breaks, they could let the creators condemned content, and I like the promised functionality of the cuts. So, while the design looks like Capcut, that platform did not necessarily reinvent the wheel of the video edition on the fly.
In any case, Instagram, launching editions as a free video editor on iOS and Android, should inspire some new features for competing applications to help level the playing field. If you are interested in trying editions, you are now implementing for Android and iOS.
