Free editor vs automatic editor
Edits is Meta's answer to CapCut: a free, capable mobile editor with high-quality export and tight links to Instagram. Like any manual editor, it needs you to do the editing.
cutzio removes that step. Select your clips and a style, and the AI does the selection, ordering and trimming, then writes your captions for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
A combined workflow
Let cutzio build the edit, then open it in Edits to add trending audio from Instagram's library before posting.
