SASA KUNA INSTAGRAM VIDEO (BETTER THAN VINE)

Those selfies and food photos in your Instagram feed might soon be a little less stationary. Starting today, the Facebook-owned service will be adding video features to its popular iPhone and Android apps.
"We talk about Instagram as capturing and sharing the world's moments. It's not just about photography," Instagram founder Kevin Systrom told "Nightline" anchor Bill Weir in an exclusive interview. "There are a ton of moments in the world that can't be captured in single images."
They can, however, be captured in video clips under a half a minute long, said Systrom. An update to the current Instagram app, which will be released today, will allow users to capture anywhere between three to 15 seconds of video, apply a new set of filters and then easily share them with their Instagram friends or through other social media services.
Filters, 'Cinema Mode' The new version of the app will look and feel a lot like the older version, because it was meant to be all about keeping the interface "simplicity."
Users will now hit the camera button and get a choice of a still camera or video camera option. Selecting the video option will bring up the usual viewfinder, and then, similar to Twitter's Vine app, holding down the video icon will capture video. Releasing it will allow you to pause the video, readjust your shot and then start capturing again.
Then comes the part that has made Instagram so popular with more than 100 million people: the filters.
"We put the power of a photography studio in the palm of your hand. We've done the same for video. So now you can take beautiful video and basically share it with the world," Systrom said.
There are 13 new video filters, which range from your usual black-and-white effect to others that brighten or blur videos. You can add filters during the playback of your video and switch between them to decide which one you want to select before sharing it. You can also select a frame from the video, which will be the cover or photo that appears in the stream.
