Instagram Edits app: 5 game-changing features
- Caption Generator: Earlier, we used to rely on third-party AI tools to generate video captions; however, with the Edits app, users can generate captions seamlessly. It also enables users to select from a variety of text fonts, font colours, add text animations, and more, bringing ease to video editing.
- Extract audio from reels: Since the Edits is integrated with Instagram, users can access all their saved reels on the video editing app and extract the same trending audio for their reels. Furthermore, it also includes an “Inspiration” section where users can get new ideas and extract similar audio.
- Object overlay: With most mobile video editing apps, it’s quite tricky to overlay multiple photos and videos. With the Edits app, you can overlay objects as well as videos, providing layered effects. This is another useful feature addition which can come in handy to users.

4. Green screen: If you shoot videos via the Edits app, you can select the green background icon just below the music, which will change the background. Then, you can click on the “Change background” option and select an image or video for the background. This is one of the most intuitive and useful editing tools.
5. Insights tab: The Edits app also includes an Insights tab where users can track their Instagram reel engagement. This tab will include reel views, reach, net followers, shares, and all the necessary information you need to track your account progress as a creator.
