Meta previewed Movie Gen, an AI video editing tool that looked impressively realistic (at least in the sample clips it released). At the time, though, Meta said it was still a research project with no immediate plans to make the features available to users.

Instagram plans to release a generative AI video editor built atop Meta's Movie Gen model some time next year.

AI video editing based on text prompts is coming to Instagram next year, with the company’s head showing off the ability to do things like change your clothing and video background, as well as some funkier stuff like adding animated characters.

One of the ways to get your Instagram videos noticed is to edit them in a fun and entertaining way. Obviously, not all of us are professional video editors, which is why Meta is giving Instagram users a bit of help in the form of an AI-powered video editing tool powered by the company’s Movie Gen model.
