The company formerly known as Facebook launched Edits as a separate video creation application that provides adept tools to produce sophisticated video content for creators globally.

- Using this platform creators can handle their projects and monitor ideas while evaluating performance results plainlly through the application for optimized content development.
- Users can remove the watermark when exporting their videos since Edits does not apply this restriction like competing platforms.
- The app provides separate sections named Inspiration and Ideas, where creators can discover current trending Reels and establish creative concepts to help them prepare content.
- Meta aims to integrate keyframes alongside more AI tools and cooperative video editing functions through planned software changes in future releases.
The application Edits serves creators with simple editing tools that help beginners alongside expert features designed for elaborate tasks. Users can make extended camera recordings of 10 minutes within the app platform, which directly connects to the sharing capabilities of Instagram and Facebook.
The Instagram leader Adam Mosseri stated in a recent announcement that Edits functions similarly to CapCut yet it targets a different user category. Adam Mosseri explained that Edits targets creative users who exceed casual video creators in terms of its designed functionality.
