instagram has been letting you share photos with filters for quite a while now but starting today you can now also shoot video and the latest version of the app when you hit the camera button there's a new button to shoot video on the right side of the screen like Twitter's vine app Instagram video records while you're touching the screen and stops when you let go but unlike vine you get 15 seconds of shooting time and if you make a mistake or want to reshoot a section Instagram video lets you delete the latest section using an on-screen backspace button so you can quickly reshoot at the end of your video you can touch next to move on to the next step applying filters here you'll be able to watch your video and you can browse through thirteen filters to see which you like best just below the video you can turn on instagrams cinema feature to stabilize your video or just keep the raw footage the next step is to pick a cover frame that will be displayed in your feed before the video starts playing finally you'll move on to the share screen where you can add a caption add your location and choose which social networks to share with if you don't pick any of the ones at the bottom your video will still be shared with other Instagram users Instagram is available right now for free at the App Store and on google play with all these new features expect to see a lot more activity as people rediscover instagram i'm jason parker for cnet and this has been a first look at instagrams new video features thanks for watching you
