Meta’s video editing app Edits is now available as a native Mac desktop application, expanding its reach beyond mobile. The desktop version, aimed at creators tackling more ambitious projects, mirrors the phone app’s interface while leveraging larger screens for finer control.
The new desktop editor brings a full multi‑track timeline, keyframes for dynamic transitions, and precise audio waveforms for beat‑accurate cuts. Features such as keyboard shortcuts, custom fonts, color wheels, log conversions, and curves make splitting, cutting, trimming, and grading easier. Users can still export videos without watermarks and publish directly to Instagram from within the app, just as they do on mobile.
Launched last year to compete with Byte Dance’s Cap Cut, Edits has already amassed 50 million active users. During Meta’s recent earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the app’s momentum and announced that Meta is working on cross‑platform editing, allowing seamless switching between desktop and mobile projects. The addition of a Mac version underscores Meta’s push to become a go‑to tool for TikTok creators and other content makers.
