Meta recently released a new video editing app for creators named Edits. The new app is designed for a popular short-form video-editing app used by many creators, biodenses.
Meta first shared that it was working back on editing back in January, when the bidens-owned Capkat was removed from the US app store, when the ticket was banned as well as the ticket ban. Although the app has since returned online and is available to download, the future of Tiktok in America remains uncertain, so Meta is ready to capitalize on the possible absence of the capcat in the future with its new editing app.
We have made this guide to run through the app and various characteristics, and we provide an observation about how it is compared to Capcut.
How to start with app
Editing is available to download both IOS And AndroidOnce you download the app and open it, you will be asked to log in with your Instagram account.
From there you will see five main tabs: ideas, inspiration, projects, records and insights. Idea Tab provides creators to reduce ideas for new videos and to save reels into a collection, and the Insopiation Tab has a hub for the discovery of trending audio and other popular reels in the Insproning tab.
Project tab is the place where manufacturers can store the videos and re -re -with them. This is also the tab where manufacturers can upload videos from their phone’s camera rolls. The record tab let the creators start filming the video content correctly within editing. Finally, Insights tab gives the creators observable on how their content is performing by surfaceing matrix such as visual, access and follower count.

How does editing vary from Capcut?
While both editing and Capcut short-form are great options for editing videos, there are some differences between the two services.
Capcut offers more strong editing options including AI features compared to editing. Of course, this can be expected because editing is much new than Capcut. Meta will probably continue to build editing over the next months and years, so we can expect to see more advanced functionality in the future. It is also worth noting that Capcut has a more comprehensive music library than editing.
Another difference is that currently editing does not offer membership (for now), but capcut. While Capcut offers a free version, some of its advanced equipment are closed behind a payment membership. Edits are free to use, but it will change as Instagram head in the future Adam Mosari has said Later versions of editing may include the features paid.
In addition, while Capcut is available on the web, editing is only mobile-h. However, it can change in the future.
