Today’s Facebook event has just kicked off a few minutes ago and they brought the Instagram team right on stage. That being said they just announced that video is coming! The videos will be 15 seconds long, similar to Vine. You can shoot the video in different clips, from there you can add filters to video! There are 13 filters that are exclusive to video and 13 of these are new. The 13 new filters were specially designed by an artist. You can choose the thumbnail image that will show in the feed, a “cover frame”. Instagram wanted to make sure it was fast, simple, and beautiful. The videos are automatically integrated into your profile, both the mobile and internet profiles. Cinema, will give you “cinematic stabilization” for your videos. This will make the video more stable and makes it look more beautiful. Once again, Instagram has launched Video and Cinema. You can make your videos as beautiful as the images you capture on Instagram. Cinema will stabilize and make them look very cinematic, this is built right into the recording area. You can take up to 15 seconds of video and you can shoot it in separate frames. It will be available as an app update on all platforms today! You can see the video, gallery, and press release below!

Over the past two and a half years, Instagram has become a community where you can capture and share the world’s moments simply and beautifully. Some moments, however, need more than a static image to come to life. Until now these stories have been missing from Instagram.
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Video on Instagram and bring you another way to share your stories. 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.
We’re excited to see what the community will bring to video, whether it’s your local cafe showing you [just how they made your latte art] this morning or an [Instagrammer on the other side of the world] taking you on a tour of their city, a [mother sharing her joys in parenting] as her children laugh and play or your favorite athlete taking you [behind the scenes].
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.
