Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
Meta has announced that it’s shutting down Instagram’s dedicated IGTV app. It won’t be supported any longer, and it will also soon be removed from app stores.
From now on, all videos, long and short, will be merged into the existing Instagram app. You’ll be able to see all of them on your Feed, along with Reels, videos, and photos.
Since Instagram has become everything but a photo-sharing app, it was about time for some restructuring a bunch of features it offers. So , from now on, IGTV videos will be a part of your Feed just like other videos posted by the people you follow.
Filming police officers in the course of their duties has started to become quite commonplace. Sometimes it’s morons trying to wind them up and bait them into doing something stupid, but often it’s simply people trying to record the other side of the story. After all most police around the world wear bodycams these days. So, why not?
Well, according to Vice, police in Beverly Hills have resorted to playing copyrighted music while they’re being filmed in order to trip social media copyright filters to get videos automatically taken down as soon as they’re uploaded. Licensing issues with the music also prevent these videos from getting any news media attention they might deserve, too.
When Instagram IGTV was first announced, people’s reactions over the vertical video platform were divided. And if you’re one of those who hate vertical videos – you’ll be happy to know that IGTV is now supporting landscape video format, too.
So, Samsung has gone and done it. They’ve singlehandedly destroyed the “You don’t watch TV vertically do you? So, why do you shoot video vertically?” argument. Yes, they’ve announced a vertical TV. And it costs $1,600 (not $16,000 as some sources are reporting).
Vertical video is the bane of the 21st century. We all (well most) wish it would just go away. But with Instagram Stories, IGTV, Snapchat and a bunch of other apps that thrive on vertical video, it’s going nowhere. And now it seems that Arri is getting in on the action with an adapter plate that allows you to mount your Alexa Mini vertically on the tripod.
The online world seems to have been buzzing about Instagram’s new IGTV since it was officially announced yesterday. The Internet is divided – or at least, my social media timelines are. A huge proportion are in the “WOO! YAY!” camp, although there are plenty of people moaning about vertical video syndrome.
If you’re of the latter opinion, sorry, can’t help. But if you’re one of those who wants to jump on the new vertical video service that lets you upload videos up to an hour in length, read on. In this video, filmmaker Jason Boone goes through the whole process in Premiere Pro of creating and uploading your vertical video content.
