Meta is gearing up to introduce powerful AI video editing tools on Instagram next year marking a major leap for content creators. Earlier this year, the company showcased “Movie Gen” an AI-driven editing tool capable of impressively realistic edits at least based on the sample clips shared. Initially, Meta described it as a research project with no plans for a public release.

Now, it seems the wait might not be long. Instagram head Adam Mosseri recently shared a teaser video hinting at the upcoming feature.

“We’re hoping to bring this to Instagram next year,” Mosseri said while previewing the AI’s seamless editing capabilities.

In the clip released, Mosseri shared his excitement about Meta’s AI advancements. “You should be able to do anything you want with your videos,” he said.

“You should be able to change your outfit, or change the context in which you’re sitting, or add a chain — whatever you can think of,” he added.

The teaser demonstrated these possibilities, with Mosseri’s backdrop and outfit changing multiple times, even briefly transforming him into a Muppet-inspired character. The transitions appeared smooth with no obvious AI glitches though it’s unclear how the tool will perform once it’s widely available.

If it matches the teaser’s quality, it could be game-changing with exciting creative possibilities for Instagram users.

Some tech enthusiasts also believe that the timing of this announcement is interesting as follows closely OpenAI’s release of its video generation model for subscribers. Meta has been vocal about its ambition to make its AI assistant the “most used” worldwide.

In an update shared alongside Mosseri’s video, the company revealed that Meta AI already has “nearly” 600 million monthly users.

Mosseri didn’t provide a specific release date for the Movie Gen features, saying only that it’s coming sometime in 2024. He also promised that “more to come” updates will follow.

With this new tool, Instagram creators can look forward to a game-changing year ahead.
