Edits adds speed curves and automatic audio mixing: creator news, 13 Nov

Edits, the video editor from Instagram, has added speed curves, automatic audio mixing and controls for how text animations play. Meta also published how Facebook's Your Algorithm control works, including what happens to a creator's posts when someone asks to see less of them.

Edits: speed curves, automatic audio mixing and text animation timing#

What changed: The @creators account announced on Threads four additions to Edits, which Social Media Today reported on 12 November 2026:

• Speed curves: a clip can speed up and slow down along a curve instead of playing at one speed. There are preset curves, and you can draw your own.
• Automatic audio mixing: Edits balances the audio levels across the parts of a video for you.
• Text animation timing: you can set how long a piece of text stays on screen, how fast it animates in and out, and how fast a looping animation repeats.
• Inspiration feed topics: the feed of ideas inside Edits now lets you pick topics to see more or less of.

Neither source says which countries or app versions get the update first.

Who it affects: creators who edit Reels and other short videos in Edits.

What to do: update Edits and try automatic audio mixing on your next video with music under your voice, then check by ear that your voice still sits on top before you post.

Facebook: how the Your Algorithm control ranks posts#

What changed: Meta's engineering blog explained on 10 November 2026 how Your Algorithm works, the Facebook control where people add or remove topics from the interests Facebook has picked for them, or type what they want to see more of. Social Media Today covered it on 11 November 2026. The post says:

• Every change applies to both Feed and Reels.
• A newly added interest gets extra weight for a limited period, then is weighted by how the person engages with it, like any other topic.
• When someone asks to see less of a named creator, that creator's content is filtered out of their recommendations directly.
• Requests about quality, such as less AI-generated content, use their own demotion signals instead of topic matching: that content is ranked lower, not removed.

The control itself is not new; the post describes how it works.

Who it affects: anyone whose posts and Reels reach people through Facebook's recommendations, since viewers who use the control can turn a topic up or down or hide a creator.

What to do: nothing has to change. Posts that are clearly about one subject are easier to match to the topics people choose. If your videos lean on AI-generated visuals, note that viewers can now ask for less of that kind of content.
