The app looks beautiful (see Instagram's announcement here). Downloading now... EDIT: Just created my first hyperlapse. Initial impressions: 1) So so simple. After the quick tutorial and camera permission prompt, you can start filming. No registration required, no feed of videos. 2) No filters. Again, going with #1, there are no filters as you might… See more

@rrhoover re #2 - well there is a filter, except it's time/speed based now :)

@liveink yes, good point. Mindie 2.0 added fast and slow motion "filters" which similarly make a mundane video interesting.

@rrhoover #3 can probably be fixed with appropriate middleware. Main issue is that you have to convert the MP4 to GIF then Twitter will convert that back to MP4, also there's nominally a 3MB size limit for GIFs according to the Twitter API docs.

@rrhoover On #2, the way we see this is that cinematic stabilization + add-ons like Hyperlapse are to video in many ways what filters were to photos when we first launched; make things look good beyond what you'd expect given the camera sensor and have a great effort-to-output ratio

@rrhoover I've been using the app this AM and to be honest, I'm having trouble finding interesting use cases for it. In your every day life, finding something that is "worthy" of a time lapse actually seems like a high bar. Photos are a snap shot in time and have a much lower bar for what is "interesting", but a video / time lapse has a much higher bar.

@liveink this is similar to what we discussed, instagram had all this tech built in their current app, then added faster viewing speed params and repackaged

@rrhoover I like that this doesn't have a filter. Helps me remember the moments I "hyperlapse" as is. Though as I say that, a B&W filter would be cool. But that's only coz I think everything looks better in B&W.
