Edits is a new video editing mobile app by Instagram that has all the features you need to edit your social media videos and shorts. The best feature is the option to add trending music on Instagram directly prompt the editing app.
If you’re someone who takes your Instagram content seriously — whether you’re a reel creator, vlogger, podcaster, or any other kind of content creator — then you probably know the frustration of dealing with inconsistent video editing, audio quality, and the constant struggle to make your video shine with editing. That’s where Instagram’s latest app, Edits, sneaks in as a total game-changer.
The ‘Edits’ app feels like it was built with high-performing creators in mind. It has all the basic features of video editing, like clip trimming/splitting, keyframing, speed change, transitions, effects, filters, and many other options.
One standout feature of the Edits app is the ability to manage multiple video and audio layers. You can add A-roll, B-roll, and other image/video overlays along with multiple sound layers.
Whether it’s your voice, background music, sound effects, or dialogue in collaborative videos, the app lets you adjust each one independently.
The app’s built-in transitions and visual filters add a polished, cinematic touch to your Reels and Stories. The draft-saving and backup features also make it ideal for creators who work on the move.
You can export your edited videos in a maximum resolution of 4K 60fps, which is a great option for creators who create high-quality videos.
In addition to editing videos, the Edits app also shows reels of other creators for editing inspiration. It has also the option of recording video on the app itself, and the last tab shows the analytics of your Instagram account.
Instead of juggling multiple apps or software to finalize a single post, Edits offers an all-in-one space to refine, enhance, and export your content. For creators, that means more time creating and less time troubleshooting.
If you’re looking to level up your Instagram game with minimal fuss and zero extra gear, ‘Edits’ is 100% worth trying. With clean audio, layered editing, automatic syncing, and built-in visual tools, it’s a pocket-sized powerhouse for serious creators.
