Short video creation and consumption, especially on smartphones, has reached a whole new level. With Instagram being one of the major platforms catering to this audience, Meta has announced Edits, a standalone video editing app. An app to take on apps like CapCut by ByteDance.

According to Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, “Edits is more than a video editing app; it’s a full suite of creative tools. There will be a dedicated tab for inspiration, another to keep track of early ideas, a much higher-quality camera—which I used to record this video—all the editing tools you’d expect, the ability to share drafts with friends and other creators, and, if you decide to share your videos on Instagram, powerful insights into how those videos perform.”

Currently available for pre-order on the Apple App Store for iPhones and coming soon to Android devices, Edits is designed to enhance the video editing experience on smartphones, optimised for the vertical form factor. Like most video editing apps, Edits allows users to add multiple layers of audio and filters and fine-tune footage to create seamless outputs.

According to the official listing, the app supports editing videos in up to 2K resolution at 60 fps in both HDR and SDR formats. It also allows users to manage all projects on a single page. Unlike editing videos directly on Instagram—which adds a watermark—using the Edits app enables users to export videos without a watermark. This feature is particularly useful for creators who upload the same content on other platforms, such as YouTube Shorts. Lastly, the app includes tools for analysing and gaining insights into the performance of videos.
