AI video editing
Instagram Edits
Instagram's free video editor for Apple silicon Macs.
What it does
Edits for desktop is Instagram's Mac app for longer edits. The page shows a multi-track timeline, color wheels and curves, and a preview playing above the tracks. It includes Instagram's audio libraries, your own LUTs and fonts, and automatic captions. Export is 4K with no watermark, and you can publish to Instagram from the app.
Where it fits
Download Edits for Mac, sign in with Instagram, and bring in a clip. Cut on the timeline, add captions, then export or publish.
Before you commit
The desktop page says the download is free and needs a Mac with Apple silicon, M1 or later. You sign in with Instagram. Windows is not offered. This check did not install the app. Product Hunt's 7 November listing says an assistant can connect through MCP. That control is not described on the desktop page we read.
