5 applications with the most liked filters in Instagram Stories

How we like Instagram Stories. It will be to investigate, a little, in the lives of others, find that slightly more intimate side of our friends or discover distant lands and luxuries that we could only dream of at the hands of our favorite celebrities. Although, yes, the uniformity of the videos sometimes means that watching many in a row can be a bit boring. That is why many users use applications with colorful filters to enrich their Stories.

I'm sure you've seen some of them. Instagram Stories with VHS video filters or with added frames, even some video montage with some photos Today we are going to show you here a selection of applications with filters for Instagram Stories. With them you can get much less boring Stories.

InShot

A very complete application to enrich your Instagram Stories with filters, effects, music, stickers, text... It is also very intuitive and free, although it contains numerous ads that can be a bit frustrating if you have little patience. Despite the ads, we have decided to include InShot as it is one of the most complete we have seen without having to pay a penny for it. The application has a weight of 21.80 MB, so that you take it into account when downloading it with data. If you do not want to have ads or watermarks on the video, you will have to pay a single amount of 2 euros.

We are going to teach you how to apply filters and effects to a video in InShot. You will see that it is very simple. To edit a video, however, we will need to do it with another application, because InShot does not have a video capture, it is just an editing app. When we have recorded the video with our camera app, for example (remember to record it vertically if it is for a Story), we share it with InShot and now we start editing.

The first thing we have to do is export the video. Here we can cut the part that interests us. In the bottom bar we have all the tools we need, such as trimming, music, speed, etc. We are going to focus on two, blur and filter. In 'Blurry' we are going to apply blurred bands above and below if we make the video horizontal, to then share it properly in the Stories.In 'filter0, as we do on Instagram with photos, we apply a 'hand of paint' to the image When we have the video ready to share, we choose Instagram and we ship directly. It's that simple.

Photogrid

A very effective application to make videos with effects to later share them as Stories on Instagram. The application is free, with ads, and has a weight of 32 MB, so we recommend you download it when you are connected to WiFi. It is a slightly less intuitive application than the previous one, especially when it comes to sharing videos, but it is also very effective.

With Photogrid we will be able to make videos with the app itself. For this we choose the 'WowCam' that, by default, will show the front camera. We make the video and save it. Now, we will have to return to the main screen and choose 'Edit'. We will search for the video and apply the effects and backgrounds that we want.There are some packages of free funds, others that are paid and others that we can get by watching advertising videos. Once we have the video ready we can share it in our Stories.

Quotes Creator

Yes, we know that in Stories we can write text on photos, but this application offers us many more fonts. It is also ideal for building photos with quotes, as if the protagonists of them were famous people. It is also free and offers many configuration possibilities. It has a weight of 35 MB.

We can choose some word to go in one color or another, to highlight part of the quote, in addition to adding shadows. We can also edit the photo but, for this, we recommend another application like Snapseed.This application is free although it contains ads and photos, watermark.

PicPlayPost

A very fun application to be able to make collages with our photos. Best of all, for basic use, it's completely free, although it does contain ads. It is also a bit heavy, reaching 45 MB, so better wait until you are under a WiFi connection. To start making a collage with your videos we do the following.

• We choose the most suitable template for our collage. For this you have a screen with 12 default templates depending on the number of videos you want to integrate.
• Once the template has been chosen, we place the videos in each of the corresponding holes. Each of the windows can be modified by pulling the green handles that we see in the template

• Now we are going to click on 'Settings' or, if we want to see the video before sharing it, 'Preview'. Here we can increase or decrease the volume of the videos, decrease the audio or record the videos in a complete sequence. In other words, we can create a 'story' with the different videos, arranging them in the collage itself.
• When we have it, we just have to click on 'Share' and that's it.

Vidstitch

And we end our walk through the filter apps for Instagram Stories with another specialized in making collages: Vidstitch. A free application although it contains ads. Its installation file has a weight of about 40 MB, so we recommend that you download it under a WiFi connection.

The good thing about this application is that we can combine both photos and videos in the same job. First, we have to choose the template from among the almost 60 that the app offers us for free. Two of these templates are not actually a collage, but are used to add bands to the sides or top and bottom to fill the screen.

Once we have chosen the template, let's go placing the videos and photographs that will make up the project. We can change the size of each of the cells and even rotate the video within them. We can also choose the photos and videos on our phone or create them right then and there.

When you have finished the project, press the hamburger menu with three horizontal stripes that we see at the top of the screen, and press 'Finish'. Next, we share the result in our Instagram Stories.
