Meta released Edits for Desktop, a free macOS (Apple Silicon M1+) video editor with a multi-track timeline, keyframes, audio waveforms, color wheels, Instagram's licensed audio libraries, direct publishing to Instagram, and 4K export.

The AI angle: it ships SAM-powered "Cutouts" for subject tracking plus a built-in MCP server, so you can hook the editor up to your own AI agents. The author demos tracking a snowboarder with Cutouts and using the SAM track to drive cropping, calling it a major upgrade over iMovie.
