Meta has launched a new generative AI video editing tool allowing users to change backgrounds, effects, and clothing in videos using preset templates. This tool is available for free for a limited time.
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, Meta has taken another revolutionary step. Meta recently introduced a new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered video editing tool that facilitates professional editing of short-form videos through templates. Importantly, this tool is offered free of charge for a limited time.
What is this AI-powered video editing tool?
This editing feature is based on Meta's AI model and can be accessed via the Meta AI app, the Meta.AI website, and a new app called 'Edits'. The tool's most significant feature is that it provides users with over 50 preset templates, allowing them to alter their video's background, subject, and even attire.
How does it work?
Currently, the tool does not support text prompts, but Meta claims that text-based customization will be added soon. This means users will be able to edit their videos according to their imagination with a single command. For example, you could say, 'I want a video shot on the streets of Tokyo,' and the AI would generate the corresponding background.
Launched with limited capabilities
Currently, users can only edit the first 10 seconds of a video. However, even within this short editing window, Meta has provided users with templates to transform videos into desert landscapes, icy regions, fancy parties, cartoon worlds, or science fiction settings.
Availability
Meta has released this feature in select countries, including the United States. The company hasn't specified whether India is included. However, Meta states that it will expand to more countries in the coming months.
Direct sharing via Meta AI app and Edits app
Another interesting aspect is that users can directly share videos edited using this AI tool to Facebook, Instagram, and Meta's Discover feed. This provides content creators not only with a professional-level editing experience but also saves time and increases their social media impact.
A boon for content creators
In today's world, where video content reigns supreme, this tool is a boon for creators of YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook videos. They no longer require expensive editing software or professional editors.
Upcoming updates
Meta has hinted that future updates will include:
- Customized text prompts
- Full video editing
- Multiple layer support
- Audio editing features
and more AI templates.
