According to Mosseri, Edits will offer a “full suite of creative tools” including:
- Higher-quality recordings
- Shareable drafts
- Trending audio
- Insights on Reels’ performance
- An “inspiration tab”
“The first version is going to be incomplete, so please be patient, but I’m really excited to put this in all your hands,” Mosseri said. While the app’s iOS version is available for pre-order with a release date listed as March 13, an Android version is expected soon.
In response to comparisons with CapCut, Mosseri described Edits as “CapCut, but more for creators than casual video makers.” This targeted approach could make Edits a go-to tool for influencers and brands looking to refine their content.
X Enters the Vertical Video Space
Not to be left behind, X (formerly Twitter) has rolled out its own vertical video feature for U.S. users.
The platform announced, “An immersive new home for videos is rolling out to users in the US today.” This addition aims to capitalize on TikTok’s temporary removal from app stores, offering an alternative platform for short-form video content.
