1. Vine Grows Up, Lets You Edit and Upload Existing Video
The six-second, looping-video-sharing service Vine announced several new tools today designed to
make it easier to shoot and edit videos from your phone. It also handed out some nice round
numbers that don't reveal much about how many people are shooting Vines, but certainly indicate
lots of people are watching. Most importantly, it will now let you upload video.
There are really two parts to what Vine is announcing today: the new tools--which really add a level
of robustness to the app it didn't previously have but aren't revolutionary, and the viewership
numbers, which it largely glosses over but do demonstrate a robust audience. Take them together
and it seems like the upstart little app has suddenly grown up into a mature video-sharing platform.
The biggest change is that people can now dip into
their camera rolls and use existing videos they've
recorded for Vines. Previously, you had to shoot
video in-app. This means that if you've got, say, a
two minute video of your dog burping in slow
motion, you can now suck up a six second highlight
reel from that and use it in a new Vine.
Other tools include a focus-lock feature for the
front-facing (selfie) camera, editing features like a
duplicating button that lets you repeat a shot, a
mute button to wipe out audio, and a "torch" mode, which turns on your phone's flash so you can
shoot in the dark. It's rolling out the new Vine for iOS today, and Android is coming shortly
thereafter, according to the company.
