Instagram is making Reel editing quicker with its new First Draft feature, which can create an initial video edit in under 10 seconds.

The tool looks through the clips you select, cuts out unnecessary pauses, trims the footage, and brings the useful parts together into a first draft.

You can then review it, make your own changes, and publish the Reel when it feels right.

First Draft can be used while recording through Instagram’s camera or after selecting multiple clips from the Reels gallery.

For now, the feature is being rolled out to iPhone users.

This could be helpful for creators, brands, and social media teams that work with several clips at a time.

Instead of spending time going through raw footage from the beginning, they get a basic edit to work with.

Of course, First Draft is not meant to replace professional video editing apps.

It simply takes care of some of the repetitive work at the start.

Creators still have full control over the final video, including its style, message, timing, and overall feel.

In simple terms, Instagram is trying to make Reel creation less time-consuming by handling some of the basic editing for you.
