Edits

So stop trying to make the video look perfect and start thinking about what is the message that I can share with my audience that is going to make them feel something.

Side note on this, I do use the Edits app for Instagram, and I find that it makes the editing process a lot easier.

If you...

Maybe you take a couple cuts of video, right? Maybe you record the first half of the reel and then you have to stop because your kid is screaming in the background or something.

I get very overwhelmed.

Edits is so beginner user-friendly, but...

That is such a time-saving content creation tool.

That is my favorite content creation tool by far.

right.

Last up in social, Meta has shared additional details about Edit Plus in upcoming paid subscription for its Edits video editing app.

That's a mouthful.

The subscription will provide expanded cloud storage and increased access to AI-powered creative tools, helping creators manage video production more efficiently.

But there is a third tier, the rare fully optimized apps, and this is where you finally see the potential.

Instagram's Edits app, for example, you open the phone, and it expands into a full video editor with a timeline on the bottom and a big preview window on top.

Oh, that's cool.

Or the Deckman app for Apple Music, which turns the whole inner screen into this gorgeous vintage Walkman interface.

What are the other best ways if you're not using one of those programs to repurpose podcasts to social media?

Yeah, so if you're recording your podcast on something like Audacity or you do a Zoom video or something like that and you don't necessarily have some of those editors available, I would say play with things like CapCut and even the Instagram Edits app because you can still import landscape videos into those and play around with them, but also take the time to think about what's important to you and to your audience.

Because for example, as I'm growing my own business, I'm shifting from taking freelance clients and 1099 contractor jobs to actually creating my own content ecosystem and applying the things I've been doing for years to my own business model.

I know that I'm not going to be filming videos anytime soon.

And for another, like I made captioner.

And I was using the Edits app from Meta for adding animated captions to my Reels.

But I had to do it one at a time.

I had to airdrop stuff to my phone to do it.

Well, like even easier than that, this is like...

So you can use AI to kind of fully script them, and then what's e-super easy now, if you use, um, the Edits app, which you see I've been using here.

So if you go to camera-

Yeah

Let's get into today's episode.

Today on the show, we're going to get into some updates to the Edits app.

You can now create carousels within the Edits app and post them directly to Instagram, along with some other minor updates that we'll discuss.

We'll also hear some updates from the YouTube team.

AskYouTube, which is their AI tool built into AI Studio, is soon coming to YouTube Shorts.

All of that, but first, a quick word from our sponsors.
