Instagram has released a new update for its Edits app and added several new tools for creators. The latest update adds bilingual captions, improved templates, clip locking, and new seasonal sound effects to make video editing easier and more flexible.
The most notable addition of the update is bilingual captions. The feature can automatically translate captions into a second language to help creators reach a wider audience without manually adding translations. It currently supports English, Indonesian, Russian, Portuguese, Gujarati, Spanish, Hindi, Korean, Bengali, German, Italian, Thai, French, Japanese, and Kannada.
With bilingual captions, creators can make their videos more accessible to viewers who speak different languages. This could also help increase the reach of content across multiple regions.
Instagram has also upgraded templates by adding overlay support. Creators can now build richer templates with layered elements, making it easier to create videos with a consistent editing style.
Another useful addition is the ability to lock specific clips while editing. Once a clip is locked, it stays in place on the timeline, allowing creators to edit other parts of the video without accidentally moving important clips.
The update also includes a collection of summer-themed sound effects that creators can use to add a seasonal touch to their videos.
Meta launched Edits as a standalone video editing app for creators and has been regularly adding new features to improve the experience. Over the past few months, the app has received several updates, including a teleprompter, AI-powered editing tools, advanced captioning features, and more customization options. The latest update continues that effort by adding more tools that help creators edit videos faster and reach a larger audience.
