OB Roundup You've long been able to shoot video with your iPhone, and you could even post the results of your micro-cinematography to Facebook to create some social interaction around them. Till recently, though, there hasn't been an app that does anything comparable to what Instagram has done for photos. The closest an app has come to this level of public engagement has been Vine. So successful has Vine been that Instagram itself has recently added video-sharing capabilities. It's remarkable how fast and widespread Vine has taken hold, despite (or because of?) the app's 6-second limitation on your video's length. The only real effect Vine lets you produce is stop-motion, which you achieve by pressing and releasing your finger from the iPhone's screen to start and stop video recording. Beyond that, it doesn't even let you trim the beginning or end of the video or use an existing video from your iPhone Camera Roll.

So Vine has its limitations, and it isn't really comparable with Instagram since it does nothing to jazz up your videos. We found a few apps that do just those things, each in different and interesting ways.

Some let you apply Instagram-like filters and others let you use text titles. One of the iPhone social video apps here, Directr, even enlists the help of professional video editors to create templates, or storyboards, that can make your mini-movies a lot more enjoyable to watch. Adding to the apps' appeal: They're all free! Most of the alternatives here offer better web presentation of these than Vine does, with full social interaction rather than just viewing. Several, such as Viddy, already have extensive social networks replete with the participation of celebrities, sports teams, and major brands.

The app combines the slickest interface of the bunch with the features you need and a great web presence. It also lets you create Vine-like stop-motion videos by touching and lifting your finger from the iPhone screen repeatedly. Viddy's well-developed video social network is populated with stars like Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and major sports teams and brands. And you can do all of your video socializing in a web browser as well as in the app. The 30-second limit on video length strikes a good balance between the too short Vine and the unlimited Socialcam.

Free With its recent addition of video-sharing capabilities, Instagram is a leading contender among your social video-shooting-and-sharing options. As it does for photos, Instagram lets you jazz up your video shares with filters, and more than doubles Vine's time limit on your mini-productions, to 15 seconds.

Instagram video bests Vine in that it lets you delete 'scenes' or sub-movies, but it, too, doesn't let you use material already in your Camera roll.

Free Okay, so I'll let you in on a little secret: Lightt doesn't actually shoot video! But you'll hardly realize that even after using it.

Instead, to save storage space, the app uses rapidly shot still photos to create an endless stream of video-esque 10-second 'highlights' of your life. So anything you shoot in the app will be appended to your highlight stream, and your followers can scroll back and forth through it at will. The social component is well done, and the results are more dynamic than still photos though jerkier than video.
