Instagram’s new video editing app is getting close to launch, and today, it’s shared some new info on the feature set of the app, including in-development elements that won’t be available on release.
As you can see in these images, Instagram’s “Edits” app will enable you to manage multiple vide projects at once, all easily accessible via a “Projects” tab.
It’s also got a “Cutouts” editing tool, so you can isolate specific elements within any clip, while Instagram has also previewed its “Made with Edits” tag that will be displayed on clips on IG.
These add to the already announced features that IG has previously previewed, including AI-generated background editing, still image animation, and collaboration tools.
Again, not all of these features are going to be available from day one in the app, which is scheduled to be released on March 13th, but Instagram is building these, and other video editing tools for its CapCut-like separate editing app.
Instagram chief Adam Mosseri also recently noted that, soon, new features will be tested in Edits first, before being rolled out to IG and Threads. So not only will you get access to these creative tools, but it’ll also become the place to be for the company’s in-development projects, which will undoubtedly include more AI tools, as Meta continues to expand its AI investment.
Which could make Edits a valuable and useful app, and for social media managers, it’ll be worth downloading the tool once it becomes available next week, and familiarizing yourself with what’s on offer.
It looks like a good platform, with easy-to-use video editing tools. I mean, that’s theoretical, of course, because IG hasn’t given anyone access as yet. But it does seem like it will be a good tool to have in your creative tool kit.
As noted, Edits is scheduled for release next week. You can sign up to pre-order here.
