  • Echo – With this effect, Instagram will add motion blur to the boomerang video, similar to a drunk double vision effect with trails behind every objects movement.
  • Duo – This effect will speed up the backward playback of the boomerang, quickly rewinding to the start of the video along with a glitchy, digitized look.
