Why video content is a roar on Instagram?
Ever wondered how Instagram, a simple photo-sharing app has become one of the fastest growing social networks on the internet? What is the reason behind its amazing success and the matter of fact that it is a front runner for content creators and a darling for marketers? Well, to put it in simple words it is evolving its features and giving endless opportunities to its creators and businesses to publish beautiful content. Started as a simple size 1×1 photo-sharing app with a bunch of preset filters, Instagram has come of age and features like 60sec videos and fancy ‘expirable stories’ content have played a significant part in expanding Instagram’s reach and engagement numbers.
Instagram’s continuous evolution, is a part of a long term strategy its parent company Facebook. Which has chosen this platform to compete with archrivals services like Vine (RIP) and Snapchat. Instagram’s video features have played a vital part in its recent growth. As it doesn’t provide a lot of video editing tools within the app itself, it is highly recommended to use external apps to apply beautiful effects and filters to make your videos pop-out from the crowd. This is where other video editing apps come into the picture.
