In January, Meta<\/span> announced its stand-alone video editing app for making Reels, simply called Edits. After release delays, users anywhere in the world can now download the app and try it out.<\/p>\n

The new video-creation tool is clearly inspired by the success of ByteDance\u2019s similar CapCut app for TikTok<\/a>, with tools dedicated to streamlined editing of vertical clips. Instagram\u2019s Reels feed of algorithmically selected clips was launched five years ago<\/a>, also in direct response to TikTok\u2019s expanding influence at the time. Meta has never shied away from its mimetic tendencies<\/a>; the company tends to adopt the buzzy software features of other apps by building those same features into its platforms. So, Edits<\/a>, a creator-focused tool that makes it even easier to pump out social videos, is an unsurprising release designed to keep pace with competition.<\/p>\n

Are you interested in getting started with Edits from Meta<\/a>? I\u2019ve been exploring the app since it dropped earlier this week. Here\u2019s what you need to know about Instagram\u2019s video-editing tool, how it generates Reels, as well as how Edits differs from CapCut.<\/p>\n

How to Use Edits, Instagram\u2019s Video Creation App<\/h2>\n

The Edits app is now available to download on both Apple<\/a> and Android<\/a> phones. After you first open Edits on your phone, you will be required to log into the app using an Instagram account, which is frustrating but not shocking. Again, Meta\u2019s purpose for the app is not to spur video creation in the abstract; rather, it\u2019s a tool specifically made to help people make content to post on Reels.<\/p>\n
