Instagram makes Reels first cuts in 10 seconds

Instagram is rolling out First Draft, a tool that trims selected clips, removes pauses, and assembles an initial Reel in under 10 seconds, according to TechCrunch’s report on the feature and Instagram’s creator announcement. The iPhone-first release is less a new model than a distribution move: creators can test whether an in-app rough cut is good enough before exporting to a specialist editor, extending the archive’s earlier look at AI-generated video workflows.
