Instagram Introduces ‘First Draft’ to Auto‑Trim Reels Clips

Instagram has launched a new Reels‑editing tool called First Draft, now available on its iPhone app. The feature lets users select multiple clips that are each longer than a minute and then automatically trims them to remove pauses and highlight the most important moments. After analysis, Instagram stitches the trimmed snippets together into a concise reel, providing a ready‑made starting point that users can further edit with other tools. The rollout began on Tuesday, offering creators a faster way to produce polished Reels without manually cutting each segment.
