Meta is looking to compete with CapCut with its latest app. The video editing app Edits is now available worldwide for Android and iOS devices .
Edits is a free app with some cool features.
The free Edits app offers a surprisingly robust feature set. You can record videos up to 10 minutes long and start editing right away. The app also lets you keep track of all your drafts and videos in one place, making it easy to juggle multiple projects.
When you're done, you can share the results to Instagram and other social networks in 1080p resolution. A great plus is that there is no watermark on any of the videos.
During editing, you can edit with frame-by-frame precision. There are settings for resolution, frame rate, dynamic range, and upgraded flash and zoom controls.
It's no surprise that the app has an AI feature that brings images to life. There's also a green screen or video overlay option.
To further customize your video, you can choose from fonts, sound effects, video filters, stickers, and more. You can also enhance audio and remove background noise. Subtitles are automatically generated and can also be customized.
Other features include a live insights dashboard, analytics on follower and non-follower engagement, and better understanding of what influences engagement.
Overall, the app looks very polished and will provide another great option for content creators and everyday fans who love making videos.
Meta says it plans to add more features in the future. Some of those features include keyframes, collaboration with others, and additional customization options.
A response to ByteDance and CapCut
Edits was first announced in January 2025, which seems like a long time ago, at least in the tech world.
Just days before its announcement, CapCut was removed from the App Store along with the wildly popular social network TikTok in a matter of hours. But the long-term future of both remains up in the air.
While the situation has changed a bit, Meta still saw fit to launch Edits. While it provides a great way for Instagram fans to quickly edit and upload videos while watching the results, it could easily attract TikTok and YouTube Shorts fans looking for a different way to edit videos. And if ByteDance somehow doesn’t find a way out of its situation, Meta will be happy to reap the rewards of new users.
One big advantage of Edits is that all videos are exported without a watermark. You'll need a $9.99 monthly subscription to do that on CapCut.
