Instagram boss Adam Mosseri Explained in Social Network ThreadsEdits is not just one app, but a whole series of “creative tools”. There is a tab where creators can find inspiration, a function for writing down ideas at the initial stage or a camera function for filming videos that allows recording up to 10 minutes. Users can share the edited video as a draft with friends and other creators. Anyone who shares their video on Instagram may also see meta network statistics displayed in the app. Export to Instagram should be possible in 1080p resolution.
AI animation and subtitles
According to the App Store description, other features include AI animations, the ability to change the background using a green screen, and improved sound. Especially important for social videos: Subtitles can be generated automatically and adjusted in the app according to your own needs. Exported videos should not contain watermarks so that they can be easily used for other platforms.
