Ten things inside the Instagram Edits app that most
people don't know and all of them will make
your editing faster, cleaner or more creative.

and features that are genuinely worth knowing.
In this video I'm covering:
✦ Cutout Layer
Why cutouts always sit on top of every other
element and what that means for your edits
✦ Timeline Zoom
Pinch to zoom for frame by frame precision
essential for tight transitions and beat sync

Why you always need a new text track for
different styling , especially with captions
✦ Freeze Frame
Hold any single frame as a still for dramatic
pauses, reaction moments or text reveals

Pull audio from any clip and use it independently
on the timeline
✦ Replace
Swap a clip without losing your timing,
transitions or effects

Play any clip backwards, simple, effective
and surprisingly creative

structure available as a template for anyone
on Instagram to use
