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

TCS layoff: Should TCS investors be concerned as company plans to hand pink slips to 12,000 employees? Explained
TCS layoff: A trend majorly seen in large global IT tech giants like Meta, Google and Microsoft, has spread to India too, as domestic IT bellwether Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced plans to hand pink slips to almost 2% of the workforce. TCS layoff, expected to impact 12,261 employees, will largely target those belonging to middle and senior grades. In response to the news, not only just TCS share price tumbled, but its ripple effects were seen on other IT companies as well. Wipro, HCL Technologies and Infosys too felt the impact, declining up to 2% — sending the Nifty IT pack down over 1%. The IT stocks have been out of favour for some time now, given global macro uncertainty and geopolitical tensions are weighing on global tech demand and delaying client decision-making. Analysts believe that TCS layoffs signal deep organisational changes driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and slow global demand rather than a short-term cost cut. "TCS' decision to layoff ~12,200 employees, which is ~2% of its global workforce during FY26 is reflation of both cost optimisation measures and deeper industry challenges. Shifting technology demands can be also a major reason for the layoff," said Rajesh Sinha, Sr. Research Analyst at Bonanza. While TCS has insisted that the layoffs are not primarily AI-driven job cuts or immediate cost-cutting, Sinha said it is an indication that there is significant pressure to stay competitive amid tighter client budgets, demand softness and rising price pressures requiring efficiency improvements. "Growing requirement of automation and evolving client expectations are reshaping workforce structures, forcing companies like TCS to rebalance employee costs and skill sets to maintain margins and becoming "future-ready" through skill re-alignment," said Sinha. During the June quarter of the ongoing fiscal, Indian IT companies have delivered single-digit revenue growth. TCS' consolidated sales in the first quarter rose 1.3% to ₹ 63437 crore, missing analysts' average estimate of ₹ 64666 crore, according to data compiled by LSEG. TCS's revenue in four out of its six verticals fell compared to the same period last year, while banking and financial services' revenue grew 1% and tech services rose 1.8%, according to a Reuters report. Its total order bookings stood at $9.4 billion during the quarter, versus $12.2 billion in the previous quarter and $8.3 billion in the year-ago period. Meanwhile, TCS MD and Chief Executive K Krithivasan recently said the company is experiencing a "demand contraction" due to the continued uncertainties on the macroeconomic and geopolitical fronts, and added that he does not see a double-digit revenue growth in FY26. Harshal Dasani, Business Head, INVasset PMS, is not as concerned about the TCS layoff and sees it as a strategic move and less of a red flag. With a workforce of over 6 lakh, TCS has already slowed hiring considerably in the last year, reflecting shifting demand patterns in its key markets. "This move signals a broader shift in Indian IT — away from headcount-led growth toward efficiency and AI-led delivery models. Rather than signalling stress, this recalibration positions TCS to navigate a lower-growth environment while staying operationally agile," opined Dasani. Given that TCS is the trend setter for the industry, analysts believe that other IT companies could follow suit. Dasani said that performance and profitability will now take precedence over headcount growth now. "It challenges the long-standing perception that Indian IT offers unconditional job security, and it underscores that operating leverage, not just revenue growth, will define sectoral winners in this cycle. Other firms may follow suit, especially as pricing pressure and AI-led delivery transformation gather pace," he added. Sinha also believes that the TCS layoff is expected to increase fears of job insecurity not only in TCS but also across other IT companies, highlighting long-term career stability in IT industry. It also reflects industry challenges like less tolerance for bench time, strict billable day requirements, and increased automation, he opined. According to Sinha, as far as investors are concerned, this challenging sector-wide environment will create pressure on the stock price of major IT companies, including TCS, for a shorter time horizon. However, in the longer term, the implicit growth opportunity of the company will determine prospects of the company. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.
