How to import iPhone videos into Instagram without distortion? Whenever I take a video with the standard camera app and then import it into Instagram on my iPhone 5S, the video ends up distorted.

A still from the original video:

I suspect this occurs due to the different aspect ratios of the two formats. 

Is there any way to either:


Take video in the default camera app in Instagram's 1:1 ratio, or
Crop video in the Instagram app so that it doesn't distort
I know that Instagram doesn't allow video cropping at the moment. Nor can you change the Camera app's aspect ratio. I suggest either recording inside Instagram or changing your phone's recording position to landscape.
