Since launch, Edits don focus on removing wahala wey creators dey face. For example, creators tell Meta say e hard to read script from notes while filming, so dem add in-app teleprompter. Now, whether you dey record yourself or voiceover, you fit speak to your audience with confidence, and adjust text size and speed as you go.
Meta say dem go continue to improve core tools like captions, including bilingual captions, advanced color adjustments, speed curves, and more. Dem also dey work to make most tools inside di app customizable, so you fit start with wetin dey there and tune am to your liking.
Edits na all-in-one workspace wey support everything around video editing, from inspiration to feedback after you hit share. Instead of jumping from app to app to make one video, Edits bring everything you need into one place. Di Ideas tab allow you save reels and audio from Instagram, alongside sticky notes for your next big idea.
As you use Edits, di app go personalize based on wetin you post. E go give you inspiration feed, insights wey summarize your comments, and weekly ideas generated just for you. Meta say dem go add more ways to tailor Edits to how you work, like pinning your favorite tools, getting more insights about your followers, and starting every project with your personalized setup.

When you tap on an Edits template, you fit open di project file to see how dem make am, including whether e use trending audio, and then easily make am your own. Soon, you go fit make more complex templates with overlays, keyframes, and video effects.
Meta say di app go get more AI tools in future, as dem dey push for more customization. Edits already get some AI elements, like AI video effects powered by Meta’s Segment Anything model, wey enable advanced separation of objects inside video clip. However, Meta hint say dem fit eventually charge for some features, especially AI-powered ones, to cover rising costs of AI development.
Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri don preview an entire scene-changing AI feature for May 2025, wey no release yet for Edits but dey available for Meta AI app. Analysts expect say same functions go eventually come to Edits, possibly with a paid tier or subscription add-on. For now, Edits remain free to download and use.
