Instagram has launched 'First Draft', a new feature that automatically trims and assembles raw clips into a finished Reel in a few seconds. The tool analyzes selected video clips, removes pauses, highlights important sections, and prepares a rough cut for users to make further edits. It is designed to simplify the Reels editing process and save creators time.
