Instagram announces video editing app amid the CapCut ban
The free Edits app will launch on mobile next month.
- Edits is a new video editing app from Meta that will help creators shoot and edit Reels on their smartphones starting next month.
- Like the now-banned CapCut app, Edits will support adding custom text, captions, audio, stickers, and effects to video clips.
- The video editor will also seamlessly integrate with Instagram, offering Reel insights and more.
Yesterday, many Americans learned that the TikTok ban doesn’t exclusively affect the video-sharing platform. Other ByteDance-owned services, including the popular CapCut video editor, have also been shut down in the US. To capitalize on the situation, Instagram announced Edits, its own video-editing mobile app.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri has unveiled an upcoming Meta app called Edits. Launching next month, the free video editor will provide creators with the needed tools to create Reels on the go. Like CapCut, Edits will offer an optimized mobile UI and support commonly used video features.
