Instagram, which had recently added short video sharing support to its mobile application, has now issued a new update for its mobile apps on Android and iOS platforms that brings the capability to import existing short videos to the app.
Mind you, this may not work for your several minutes long videos. Using the new Instagram app 4.1, users can import videos and then trim the best parts they wish to be portrayed in the short video. The square-crop will let the user place the action scenes in the center. After trimming, user can apply the filter and choose a frame as the cover.
The new app also brings automatic straightening of the photos instantly on the iOS mobile platform. The new Straighten icon will appear after the user has clicked an image using the Instagram’s in-app camera.
Instagram has also extended the support of the app to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update running significant number of devices out there.
The Instagram app 4.1 is already available in the Google Play store for Android devices and Apple App store for the iOS devices.
