Snapchat and Instagram Stories, Tickets and Reels, X and Threads -It is clear that Instagram is a habit of borrowing ideas from other platforms and adding its turn for them. Editing, The Blatten Capkat Copacat, has come, and it is surprisingly good.
Surprisingly, the editing is initially given at the main promise
After testing the app, it is safe to say that it not only fulfills the promises made by it, it is actually beyond the expectations. When Instagram’s head Adam Moseri announced editing in January 2025 (irony is that the app was temporarily removed from the app store in the US just after Capkat), the app can only be pre-ordered on Apple’s App Store.
In its initial announcement, Mosari mentioned that the Edit app would not be launched until February 2025. While this did not happen, I later looked at its app store page. Expected April 30, 2025The app was actually launched on April 22, 2025, about a week earlier than an expected. Moseri also claimed that the app would initially be available only for iOS devices (as it is clear from the fact that it can only be given pre-order on apple devices). In a turn of events, Meta released it globally on both Android And IOS,
When editing was announced, price On its app store listing, the section claimed that editing would be a completely free editing app.
Frankly, it is a great adventure claim to make in this economy, especially from a company in the form of meta. While my part believed that editing could be really completely free, a large part of mine thought it just claims to attract attention, and that it would not remain that way after the app is launched.
For my surprise, editing is perfect for your word and is free to use it completely. Any of its feature is not currently closed behind a pewall, although it can unfortunately change soon.
MOSSERI posted Reel on Instagram To answer the question of a fan in early April whether the editing app will be free:
It will be independent. I think over time we may have some paid characteristics, where we need to cover the cost of things such as calculations for Big II features. But in general, we want to create more and more features that are as independent as possible, as the more people can make, the more they will make, the better Instagram, and the more we will benefit all of us.
However, what is important is that the promise that Instagram had initially reached, and the app is really completely independent.
Edits User Interface is simple compared to most editing apps
In my initial article how the editing app targeted to stack against Capkat, I noted that I had a feeling that it would not be easy to navigate compared to edit editing Capkat. Of course, I said that the preliminary announcement of the app and the app store listing.
After testing the app, I realized that I was completely wrong. I have tried a lot of video editing apps in the past, and the user interfaces of editing definitely tilt towards the simple side than them. The app is essentially divided into the following five sections:
Ideas
The idea tab has three sections: Stickies, RemainingAnd Collection,
If you are a person who receives ideas in the most strange of time (such as probably when you are in a shower or for a walk), something that you have done earlier, your idea is quickly on the nearest paper that you can find or find your easy-dandi notes in the app.

Inspiration

Projects
Project tab is the place where you can start editing a new video and watch all your existing projects. You can sort these projects by LAST edited, Date CreatedOr Alphabet,
Quarrel
You can also record 10 minutes long clips within the editing app by switching Quarrel The tab, which offers you access to advanced camera settings such as resolution and frimit control, and the option to choose between SDR and HDR color. It also has three zoom-in options for front cameras (1x, 2x, 5x) And four for rear cameras (0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x,
Insights
Ultimately Insights The tab lets you see the intensive insight on how your account and reel are performing. This is mainly aimed at the aim of the creators, which I will cover deep down.
Even if you do not use Instagram much, it is straight to navigate the app and actually edit your footage both as straight.
Once you create a new project (or open an existing one), a time -line appears below, followed by a list of tabs: Audio, Basic lesson, sound, caption, Overflow, Sound fx, cut outAnd Pantia,
All these options are quite straightforward, and learning your way around the app you should not take more than a few minutes.
Auto captioning feature of Editing App won me
For such a long time I had the facility to keep loyalty to Capkat, it was an auto-captioning feature, only for it being closed behind a pewall and became a pro feature. Capkat Standard Currently the plan is $ 9.99 monthly, and given that I do not edit the video so much, it is futile, well, futile, well, for a single $ 10 for the same feature.

Well, what is the disadvantage of one app, the advantage of the other, as the edit provides the same feature completely free. The best part? I tested an auto-captioning feature with a couple of random tickes, and here and there, in addition to some nightpicks, the transcription was perfect.
There are also countless fans that you can use in different categories (Easy, Bold, Retro, Flickering, Handwritten) How to appear in your video, to customize it, including classic, like you come when you make Instagram Stories Literature, Bubble, Signature, ModernMore.
It took less than a minute (32 seconds, to be accurate) to make a caption for a video of about three minutes, which I found impressive. In addition, there is much beyond auto-captioning facility in editing.

Endits is not originally as Instagram-Centenary
Initially, I was on the basis that editing was going to roam to make a reel for Instagram. After all, it is an Instagram-owned app. I am not denying that it is closely connected to Instagram. In fact, you need an Instagram account to use the app just like X competitive, threads. But the boundaries actually end there.

Unlike Capcut, which adds a watermark after exporting your video once (unless you subscribe to any of their Pro Plan), editing lets you export your video HD (720p), 2kAnd 4K Resolution without a watermark. Now, once you export a video, the Meta App Advantage Leaks, because you get the direct option. Share on Instagram And Share on Facebook,
The same page also mentions:
Videos done with edit are adapted for high quality playback on Instagram.
This is not a deal-breaker in my eyes when you cannot export to other third-party apps like tiktok (which allows you to do). After all, there is no watermark slap on my video, and posting a video directly on the app takes only a few seconds.
When it comes to background audio for your video, editing lets you take you from trending music clip on Instagram, Audios that you (on Instagram) have saved, a. For you The cure was cured depending on your taste, and the original audio shared by the community. You also have the option to import audio manually.
The only part of Edits that is actually very close to Instagram is Insights Tab. As mentioned above, it shows the intensive insight on how your account and reel are performing in 7-day, 13-day, 30-day and 60-day periods, such as with statistics Reel views, reach, Pure follower, Likes, Information, SharesAnd Saves,
On tapping each statistical tab, a graphical representation suggests how that particular metric has changed over time, making it easier to track development trends, spot display dips, and it makes sense that what kind of content with your audience is the best resonance.
In all, editing is certainly an impressive app, especially given that it is only the first version and Adam Mosari said that “the first version would be incomplete.” The editing app is bound to be better over time, but it is already a solid capcat option and is excellent for early editors.
