As of June 20th Instagram came out with it 4.0 version, giving it video capabilities . With this video function came 13 filters just for videos and an astonishing 15 seconds to record. Then just 12 days later Instagram has also made it possible to record videos in the landscape orientation as well as the front facing camera. Sound familiar? I thought so too..

So what goes around must come back around… what started with Cinemagram using features from both vine and instagram, videos with filters – has now come back to haunt them. Well maybe not haunt, but it’s not good! Instagram and Cinemagram and now in direct competition with each other. (Yeah so I just tossed fine right out of the ring..) Who’s going to come out on top?!?!

The suspense is killing me! So i’ll break down the playing and field and then you can decide who’s our winner, okay? Cool

Instagram has longer videos, arguably has more users, has sound, has filters, has photo map and has their bread and butter picture postings that started it all.

Cinemagram offers just videos but with an array of editing options. You can go forward then back and then forward again. Filters, sound, different video genres and after a few tests of my own, faster loading time.

So are you the type to mix your food together or do you think everything has its own separate space? That’s what’s important here. Videos and pictures or videos here and pictures over there.
