Briefings
Meta announced the release of the first macOS version of its Edits video editing app, targeting creators who require mouse and keyboard precision on larger screens. The desktop editor supports MacOS 15 Sequoia and is built with Swift UI, though the UI design was noted as lacking proper menu titles. The app is part of a broader trend where Meta is expanding its native Mac app development, contrasting with previous iPad-only support. This marks a significant shift for creators who previously relied on mobile or iMovie for desktop workflows.
