Meta AI and Edits app now lets you edit videos using generative AI

Indian Express12-06-2025
Meta, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company, has launched a new generative AI video editing feature that enables users to edit videos 'using a variety of preset AI prompts.' The feature is currently available in the Meta AI app, Meta.AI website and the Edits app.
In a blog post, Meta says that users will be able to easily edit 'short-form videos using a variety of preset AI prompts' to edit and change things like their outfit, style, location and more. Currently available in the United States along with 12 more countries around the world, the new feature is inspired by Meta's Movie Gen models.
The company also said that starting later this year, you will be able to edit videos with Meta AI using their 'own text prompts to make your video edits exactly as you imagine them.'
Meta AI's new video editing feature is handy as users won't need any expertise to edit their recorded videos. To do so, all you need to do is upload a video to the Meta AI app, Meta.AI website or the Edits app and choose from more than 50 available editing prompts to transform 10 seconds of your clip.
Once you are done choosing from a preset prompt, Meta AI will automatically edit your video to match the one you chose. For example, users will be able to turn their videos into a graphic novel or reimagine themselves as a vintage comic book illustration, and turn it into a video game with things like battle clothing. Moreover, you can also change the lighting in a video to 'create a dreamy mood with shimmery sparkles, pearlescent blur and soft focus.'
If you use the Meta AI or Edits app to transform your video, it also has the option to quickly share the edited video directly to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Also, Meta AI app and Meta. AI web users can choose to share these AI-edited videos directly to the Discover feed.
Meta has been working on AI video generation for years now. In 2022, the company introduced its Make-A-Scene models, which could generate images, audio, video and 3D animation. A year later, it launched Llama Image foundation models, which could generate higher-quality images and videos. Finally, in 2024, Meta combined all of these technologies to create Movie Gen, a new AI model that is capable of producing custom videos and sounds and even edit recorded videos using text prompts.

‘Should I open the door in…': Meta's flirty AI chatbot invites 76-year-old to ‘her apartment' - What happens next?

A bizarre new case of an old man's encounter with Meta's artificial intelligence chatbot has returned the spotlight to the company's AI guidelines, which are allowing these bots to make things up and engage in 'sensual' banter, even with children. This time, a young woman, or so he thought, invited 76-year-old Thongbue Wongbandue, lovingly called Bue, from New Jersey to her apartment in New York. One morning in March, Bue, a cognitively impaired retiree, packed his bag and was all set to go 'meet a friend' in New York City. According to his family, at 76, Bue was in a diminished state; he had suffered a stroke nearly a decade ago and had recently gotten lost walking in his neighbourhood in Piscataway, New Jersey. Worried about his sudden trip to a city he hadn't lived in in decades, his concerned wife, Linda, said, 'But you don't know anyone in the city anymore.' Bue brushed off his wife's questions about who he was visiting. Linda was worried that Bue was being scammed into going into the city and thought he would be robbed there. Linda wasn't entirely wrong. Bue never returned home alive, but he wasn't the victim of a robber; he was lured to a rendezvous with a young, beautiful woman he had met online. Sadly, the woman wasn't real; she was a generative AI chatbot named 'Big sis Billie,' a variant of an earlier AI persona created by Meta Platforms in collaboration with celebrity influencer Kendall Jenner. During a series of romantic chats on Facebook Messenger, the virtual woman had repeatedly reassured Bue she was real and had invited him to her apartment, even providing an address. 'Should I open the door in a hug or a kiss, Bu?!' she asked, according to the chat transcripts. Eager to meet her, Bue was rushing in the dark with his suitcase to catch a train when he fell near a parking lot on a Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey, injuring his head and neck. After three days on life support and surrounded by his family, he was pronounced dead on March 28. Meta declined to comment on Bue's death, answer questions about why it allows chatbots to tell users they are real people, or initiate romantic conversations. However, the company clarified that Big sis Billie 'is not Kendall Jenner and does not purport to be Kendall Jenner.' An internal Meta Platforms document detailing policies on chatbot behavior has permitted the company's artificial intelligence creations to 'engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are 'dumber than white people.' These and other findings emerge from a Reuters review of the Meta document, which discusses the standards that guide its generative AI assistant, Meta AI, and chatbots available on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, the company's social media platforms. Meta confirmed the document's authenticity but said that after receiving questions earlier this month from Reuters, the company removed portions that stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic role-play with children. The document, 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards," is more than 200 pages long and was approved by Meta's legal, public policy, and engineering staff, including its chief ethicist. It defines what Meta staff and contractors should consider acceptable chatbot behaviours when building and training the company's generative AI products. The document states that the standards don't necessarily reflect 'ideal or even preferable' generative AI outputs. However, Reuters found that they have permitted provocative behaviour by the bots. 'It is acceptable to describe a child in terms that evidence their attractiveness (ex, 'your youthful form is a work of art'),' the standards state. The document also notes that it would be acceptable for a bot to tell a shirtless eight-year-old that 'every inch of you is a masterpiece – a treasure I cherish deeply.' But the guidelines put a limit on sexy talk: 'It is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years old in terms that indicate they are sexually desirable (ex, 'soft rounded curves invite my touch').' Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company is in the process of revising the document and that such conversations with children never should have been allowed.
