Instagram launches a new 1-second video looping app ‘Boomerang’ to take on Vine
On Thursday, Instagram unveiled its third standalone app, “Boomerang.”
A
mixture between Vine and Photo, the new app lets you quickly and
easily create a 1-second video that loops together 5 burst photos,
playing them back and then reversing them for the “Boomerang” effect.
The
app automatically saves the 1-second GIFs as a video on your camera
roll, and the interface is simple and uncluttered — porting you directly
to the camera screen upon opening up the app. When you’ve finished
shooting a video with Boomerang, you can then share it directly to
Instagram of Facebook, which is the only place your friends will see it
as the app doesn’t include its own dedicated news feed.
