Instagram Edits App Review: Mobile Editing for Short Projects

Premiere Gal takes the new Instagram edits app for a spin, finally arriving for both iOS and Android users. This mobile-only video editor is designed for quick, under 10-minute projects, perfect for those who shoot primarily on their phones. The app boasts features like noise reduction, audio muting, and the ability to record voice-overs directly within the platform. However, users may face limitations with overlay durations tied to the base edit, requiring some creative workarounds.
Navigating the timeline and making cuts is straightforward, but the app lacks precise overlay editing tools and split-screen guides, making it a bit of a hit or miss affair. Invato steps in to offer stock media for those missing shots, providing a handy solution for content creators in a pinch. While the app optimizes for Instagram trends and offers auto-fade music options, users may find the selection of sound effects limited without a search function.
Transition controls for overlays are noticeably absent, leaving users wanting more in terms of creative flexibility. Color adjustments and filters are clip-specific, requiring manual application to each individual clip rather than a more efficient batch process. Adding titles is a breeze with customizable text options, but the lack of overlay effects and transition controls may leave some users feeling a bit underwhelmed.
