Instagram says that its First Draft feature can edit a Reel in under ten seconds

Instagram is taking on the tedium of video editing. A process that can be laborious can now be done in seconds thanks to First Draft, a new feature that automates basic editing tasks. As explained in a Threads post, First Draft "cuts the pauses and trims down your clips," delivering "a starting point to build from." Instagram claimed that those edits can be completed in as little as ten seconds, so if you're sick of fine-tuning frame-perfect cuts, First Draft figures to make your life easier.
