On June 22, Internet marketing company fishbat details an LA Times article and analyzes how Instagrams new video feature could be the death of Vine.

According to an article published by the LA Times, Instagram unveiled a new update Thursday, which gave users the ability to record stop-motion videos similar to Vine. In the article, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom says, What we did to photos, we just did to video.

Instagrams new video feature allows users to compose 15-second videos and add filters. The article says Systrom added 13 new filters specifically tailored to the video format. Instagram also created the cinema feature, which minimizes the shakiness of handheld videos seen when using a smartphone.

Justin Maas, VP of client relations at fishbat, says the new update could be detrimental to Vine. He says its just another part of the Facebook-Twitter war thats plaguing the social media industry.

Twitter owns Vine and Facebook owns Instagram, Maas explains. Its just another battle in this social media war. Instagrams take on stop-motion video could be detrimental to Vine. Now users can share those videos right on one feed alongside the pictures they normally take. Instagrams new features go above and beyond Vines capabilities and they add filters. Theres a good chance that if Vine doesnt develop something special, Instagramwill win back all of the users that flocked to Vine by streamlining their video and photo experiences.

Maas says that Instagrams new video feature has a lot of useful capabilities, especially the ability to delete specific sections of the video. When a user records the video, they can click back and delete a previous video section if they dont like it without having to trash the entire thing, he says. I think this is going to be one of the main selling points for Instagrams new feature. Vine might actually be in trouble.
