Instagram has expanded its Edits video-editing app to desktop, making it available to Mac users. Designed for creators working on more complex video projects, the desktop version offers a larger workspace and more precise controls, along with features such as a multi-track timeline, keyframe editing, audio waveforms and colour-grading tools. It also allows users to publish videos directly to Instagram or export them in 4K resolution without a watermark for use on other platforms. Announcing the launch, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said a desktop version was among the most requested features from users. The first version is now available for Mac, with the company planning weekly updates based on creator feedback.
The move comes as the platform also explores longer video formats, including a test that allows selected creators to upload videos of up to 90 minutes.
Launched as a mobile video-editing app, Edits is Instagram's offering for creators who want to make and edit videos without relying on separate editing software. With the desktop release, Instagram is extending the same editing environment to Macs.
