Instagram Will Now Automatically Edit Reels Videos
Instagram has introduced a new feature called First Draft to make creating Reels easier. The feature automatically identifies and cuts silent sections and unnecessary pauses in videos, creating an initial edit for the user. To use First Draft, users simply select videos from the Reels Gallery section and tap the “First Draft” button. Instagram then analyzes the selected videos, cuts the unnecessary sections, and places them on the editing timeline.
After reviewing the initial version, users can further edit the video within Instagram or share it immediately. First Draft can also be used immediately after recording a new video with the Instagram camera. Interestingly, Meta does not mention artificial intelligence in its introduction of the new feature. According to reports, First Draft is classified not as an AI-based feature but as a tool that uses machine learning technology. Meta previously launched a separate video-editing app called Edits in April 2025. The company has also recently been adding various AI features to Instagram. First Draft, however, is focused more on speeding up the everyday video-editing process and eliminating the need for users to manually cut gaps from videos. First Draft will initially be available to iOS users. Meta has not yet announced when the Android version of the feature will be released.
