Instagram Launches First Draft Feature to Automate Reels Editing on iPhone
Instagram has launched First Draft, an AI-powered feature that automatically creates an initial edit of Reels by trimming clips and removing pauses. Available to iPhone users, it generates a rough cut in under 10 seconds from selected footage, either from the Reels gallery or Instagram's in-app camera. Designed to simplify video editing, First Draft supports various Reel types and allows users to refine the automated draft before publishing.
