Edits, an Instagram app set to launch in March - a CapCut Clone



Instagram’s New Edits App: A Game-Changer for Content Creators

What is it? Edits is a standalone video editing app designed to rival industry giants like CapCut. The app will feature a robust suite of tools, enabling creators to:

  • Record high-quality videos in resolutions up to 1080p with HDR support.

  • Edit on a timeline for precise clip-level adjustments.

  • Use advanced features like green screen effects, overlays, transitions, and auto-enhance tools.

  • Leverage an Inspiration Tab to explore trending audio and real-time content insights.

  • Share drafts with collaborators for seamless feedback and revisions.

  • Analyze performance with in-depth analytics, including follower-to-non-follower ratios and content skip rates.


The app is currently available for pre-order on iOS, with plans to expand to Android users via the Google Play Store. Hear from Mosseri's announcement here.





Why Edits Matter for Creators

The creator landscape is more competitive than ever. To stand out, creators need access to high-quality tools that simplify the production process while delivering professional results. Edits addresses this need with its all-in-one solution that combines powerful editing capabilities with insights to optimize content performance.


This launch also comes at a pivotal time. With restrictions and uncertainty surrounding apps like TikTok and its sister platform CapCut in the U.S., Instagram’s Edits offers creators a viable alternative. By integrating advanced editing tools with the ecosystem of Instagram’s existing platform, Meta is positioning itself as the go-to solution for creators seeking robust yet accessible mobile editing capabilities.



How Brands Can Leverage Edits

For brands working with influencers, Edits offers a streamlined way to ensure content meets quality and branding standards. Features like draft sharing and real-time performance analytics can enhance collaboration between brands and creators, reducing friction in the content approval process and improving campaign outcomes.


Additionally, the Inspiration Tab’s trending insights can help creators and brands stay ahead of the curve, producing content that resonates with audiences in real-time. These tools align perfectly with gen.video’s mission to drive measurable impact through creator-driven content.
