That's Boomerang
The Instagram team has just launched a new app. It is called Boomerang, and although it is little new, it seeks to follow the trend of thesocial networks in which we bet on the video It is an application capable of create short videos with a curious effect of motion reminiscent of files GIF Those famous animated images that circulate on the Internet.Now, this is something different in essence. A tool with which to create the most striking content to fill Facebook andInstagram with all kinds of animations.
Boomerang is an application independent of Instagram This means that It works without having to have an account on the photography social network. In fact, Boomerang allows you to create content without creating an account, making it easy for any user to use it . Of course, it recommends linking with Instagram or Facebook to share the resulting videos directly and easy on these social networks
Its operation is the sea of simple Simply launch the application to activate the camera of the terminal. At this moment, all that remains is to capture a moment or instant in just one second.To do this, the application has a single button that triggers the camera, capturing 10 very briefly followed snapshots Afterwards, it is in charge of making a video with them. The funny thing is that this video plays from beginning to end and from end to beginning Hence the name Boomerang
This breaks with the idea of GIFs, which are neither more nor less than photos static images displayed one after the other in a single image file Thus, Boomerang creates true videos through still images, although the visual result is quite similar. Of course, standing out from them due to the forward and backward effect of their reproduction. Question that allows you to create amazing videos.
Once the video is created, the application displays it so that the user can appreciate the creation and, if they wish, share it. To do this, it offers three options. On the one hand there is Facebook, launching the video to the user's wall so that any friend can see it. Another option is Instagram, where short videos work especially well. Finally, there is the option Others, where it is possible to choose any other application installed in the terminal through which you want to share this video, either email or even WhatsApp
