Beginning in 2013, the most popular app craze, Vine, let users share multiple moments within a six second video. On Aug. 21, 2014, Vine improved the app by letting users add old videos from their Camera Roll, among other things, creating a #latervine sensation.

In the last year, Vine enabled users to create videos with a limited amount of time, but now upped the ante by adding new features. In addition to being able to upload recorded videos from your Camera Roll, Vine also added new editing features that will let your creativity run wild.

When making a six-second masterpiece, downloaders can now duplicate or delete a clip from the video without destroying what was already made. If it’s too dark outside, that’s no problem for Vine; there’s a new “torch mode” for dark areas, as well as a ghost setting for a more illusional perspective.

With the new spin on an old creation, more than 100 million people are a part of this craze. For most people, it’s an iOS version, but there is soon to be a Vine app for Android users.

There is so much more in store for Vine in the future. With the awesome new updates, it’s a perfect time to show your Sequoit Pride and follow the ACHS Tom Tom on Vine! #getexcited #SequoitPride
