A picture (with filters) is worth $1 billion. A video (with filters), apparently, is worth $60 million. Congrats to the team. Certainly an interesting move for Autodesk.

SocialCam has way less users than Instagram. And as mentioned in other comments, video has a much lower user retention rate than photo.
