Meta Introduces 'Edits' App Following U.S. Ban on ByteDance's CapCut
Instagram's new video editing app aims to fill the gap left by CapCut's removal, offering advanced tools for mobile creators.
- The U.S. has banned ByteDance-owned apps, including TikTok, CapCut, and Lemon8, citing national security concerns.
- Meta's Instagram announced 'Edits,' a mobile video editing app designed as a comprehensive tool for short-form content creators.
- Edits features AI-powered tools, including animation, green screen effects, automatic captions, and advanced performance analytics for Instagram Reels.
- Unlike CapCut, Edits emphasizes a broader creative suite, including trend insights, idea storage, and collaboration tools, with no watermark on exports.
- The app is set to launch on iOS in February 2025, with preorders available now, and an Android version planned for a later release.
