Understand this story
Instagram has expanded its standalone video editor Edits to the Mac platform, launching it as a free macOS app. According to Unite.AI, the Mac version adds 4K export and provides an MCP interface for all in-app tools, allowing agents to call these tools to generate rough cuts; creators can choose Meta's Muse or other agents to process videos in the Downloads folder, and the resulting project files can then be opened in Edits to continue manual editing. MacRumors reports that the Mac version targets large projects that require a large screen and mouse-and-keyboard operation, offering a multi-track timeline, keyframe transitions, precise audio waveforms, LUT and font import, direct video publishing to Instagram, support for multiple landscape and portrait aspect ratios, and 4K export without a watermark. The report also notes that the app only supports Macs with Apple chips of M1 or later, requires signing in to an Instagram account, and does not yet support editing the same project on mobile and desktop.
