Facebook's Instagram announces Video Instagram for iOS and Android


So a few posts back, I informed you that Facebook is getting ready to announce  new product. There where many speculations as to what that product might be. Well, its a secret no more... Facebook has announced that Instagram will now be offering Instagram video!

Now users can record 15 second mobile videos and edit them accordingly via available features.

Basically, what this new feature offers includes the recording of 15 seconds of video, editing, filters (13), anti-shake functionality, cover frames and of course sharing (Facebook and Instagram web file)

As explained by Kevin Systrom (Co-founder, Instagram) in his post on Instagram's blog:

When you go to take a photo on Instagram, you’ll now see a movie camera icon. Tap it to enter video mode, where you can take up to fifteen seconds of video through the Instagram camera.
You’ll also find that we’ve added thirteen filters built specifically for video so you can keep sharing beautiful content on Instagram. When you post a video, you’ll also be able to select your favorite scene from what you’ve recorded as your cover image so your videos are beautiful even when they’re not playing.

So what does this mean for your content? Nothing’s different from photos. We’re still committed to making sure you have control over all of your content. Only the people who you let see your photos will be able to see your videos. And as with photos, you own your videos. You can learn more about Video on Instagram—including our new Cinema feature—by visiting the Instagram Help Center.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll create.
Instagram for iOS version 4.0 is currently available for download in Apple’s App Store and Instagram for Android version 4.0 is now available on Google Play.
