Meta says the desktop version targets more ambitious projects, with keyframes, precise audio waveforms, color wheels, log conversions and curves, keyboard shortcuts and custom fonts. Exports carry no watermark and videos can be published directly to Instagram. Released in early 2025, Edits has more than 50 million active users, according to Mark Zuckerberg. Meta is working on more features, including moving between desktop and mobile on the same project.
