Meta Ships Edits Desktop: SAM-Powered Cutouts Plus an MCP for AI Agents
nikhilaravi · x · 2026-11-14
Meta launched Edits Desktop, which the author calls a major iMovie upgrade. It brings the SAM-powered "Cutouts" feature from the Edits app and ships with an MCP you can connect to your AI agents.
Demo: starting from a 16:9 landscape video, the author used Cutouts (SAM under the hood) to track a snowboarder, then drove the crop position frame by frame from the SAM track so the rider stays in view in portrait, with a rainbow effect on the cutout. A naive reframe lets the rider drift out of frame.
