Instagram rolls out new Boomerang effects

Facebook-owned Instagram on Saturday introduced three new options to share Boomerang stories: SlowMo, Echo, and Duo, along with a new few feature to trim their length.
“Your Instagram camera gives you ways to express yourself and easily share what you’re doing, thinking or feeling with your friends. Boomerang is an iconic part of that, and one of the most beloved camera formats. Instagram is excited to expand on the creativity and give you new ways to use Boomerang to turn everyday moments into something fun and unexpected,” the company said in a statement.
The new filters are available in the Boomerang composer located in the Instagram Stories camera.
With SlowMo, as the name suggests, Boomerang videos are slowed to half their original speed.
Echo, on the other hand, creates a double vision effect, enhancing Boomerang and Duo, both speeds up and slows down Boomerang, adding a texturised effect.
It is also possible to trim and adjust the length of recorded Boomerangs with the update. (IANS)
