Meta has just announced that generative AI video editing is now available via Meta AI. You'll be able to use pre-set prompts to change your video colors, locations, even genres.

Meta also says that later this year we'll be able to tell the AI how to edit the videos. This is exciting for anyone who ever wished we had filters for Reels like we do for Instagram, but while it's free for now, that will change in the future.

You Can Now Edit Videos With Meta AI We’re launching a generative AI video editing feature across the Meta AI app, the Meta.AI website and the Edits app to help you bring your creative ideas to life.

🏀 NBA Finals Tip-Off = Time for a Logo Showdown!
It’s the Indiana Pacers vs. the OKC Thunder—and we're breaking down the logos while the teams battle it out on the court.

🔵 Indiana Pacers
Pros: Timeless design, clean lines, strong use of negative space, and a retro vibe that still holds up.
Cons: A bit dated compared to more modern logos, and the basketball-in-motion “P” can feel abstract to new fans.

⚡️ OKC Thunder
Pros: Bright, energetic colors with a dynamic shield and subtle basketball elements. It feels fast and modern—just like the team.
Cons: The wordmark-heavy design lacks a central symbol, and the overlapping elements can get a little cluttered.
