Instagram Edits App Update: Enhanced Cropping and Quality Tips
Instagram continues to improve its dedicated video editing app, Edits, with new features and helpful advice for creators.
The latest update introduces enhanced video cropping options. These new controls allow for precise trimming and adjustments, making it easier to optimize videos for various aspect ratios and platforms.
This expanded functionality empowers users to refine their content and build a diverse video library.
Expert Tips for High-Quality Edits Videos
Edits product lead Tom Bender shared valuable insights on maximizing video quality within the app. He emphasized that higher visual quality leads to increased engagement on Reels.
Bender recommends focusing on these key settings:
- Resolution: Edits supports HD (1080x1920), 2K (1440x2560), and 4K (2160x3840). Bender suggests 2K for optimal sharpness on Instagram, noting that 4K, while sharper, won't be noticeably different for viewers and requires more processing power.
- Frame Rate: Experiment with 24, 30, and 60 frames per second to find the best fit for your content. 24fps creates a cinematic feel, 30fps is standard, and 60fps offers a hyper-realistic look.
- Dynamic Range: Compare Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) to see which enhances your videos. HDR offers a wider range of color and contrast.
- Sharing: Use the integrated "Share to Instagram" button within Edits for optimal quality, as it minimizes re-encoding.
These tips can help you create engaging, high-quality video content using the Edits app.
