Meta adds creative tools to Edits app with royalty-free music and more
Edits has had another update, this time with a brand-new royalty free music offering.
Meta continues to build on its promise to enhance video creation tools with the latest updates to its Edits app. The new features give users more creative freedom and better control, helping to make content that stands out – especially on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where video performs best.
The Edits app, which launched earlier this year, is Meta’s answer to the growing demand for simple but powerful mobile editing tools. When Instagram unveiled Edits, the goal was to provide users with quick access to essential creative features without needing third-party tools. Since then, regular updates have expanded its offering.
One of the most exciting new additions is a royalty-free music discovery tab. Users can now easily browse and select tracks that are safe to use for monetised content. As Social Media Today explains, “creators now [can] switch over to the ‘Royalty free’ tab to select from a listing of tracks that they can use without licensing.” This means no more last-minute edits or muted posts due to copyright issues, especially when promoting content.
Another upgrade comes to the app’s keyframe editing tools. While Edits introduced keyframe editing recently, this update improves how creators can apply and control elements like stickers, text, and cutouts with precision. It’s a major step towards giving users more detailed control over how their video content flows. For now, this feature is available only on iOS.
Finally, Edits now includes 10 new voice effects, giving users more fun and expressive audio options – from ghostly sounds to robotic tones. This follows earlier voice feature expansions back in May.
Meta’s regular updates prove it’s serious about growing Edits into a creative hub. As Social Media Today highlights, “Meta has followed through on this, and released weekly feature updates for the app.”
If you’re looking to create high-quality video content without the hassle, Edits from Instagram is quickly becoming a go-to tool.
