I played around with this idea, mocking it up in a Adobe Air app. The UI that worked best was to allow for unlimited video but if it exceeds seven seconds (that feels like enough plus it has a nice alliteration) then have a scrubber at the bottom that lets you select any number of seven second snapshots to publish ala Instagram.
For the consumption UI I would use a scrolling list like Instagram but just have start and end of video keyframes alternate in a animation - maybe use a fade in/out transition so it is not jarring to the eye. This would let you quickly browse without much interaction required.
- c1sc0 14y agoCare to share the UI mockups? I'm working on the editing part right now & I'm interested.
- dugmartin 14y agoIt wasn't much - I vertically stacked a Flex VideoDisplay control, a custom scrubber control and then a Flex Button control to publish. Instead of a fixed size thumb the custom scrubber's thumb width was proportional to 7 seconds of the total video width. I did it in AIR/Flex so I could just drop a video on the app to test with it. I never tested it on a mobile device but on my desktop I needed a lot of keyframes in the video to make it work. I'm not sure what it would look like with native video on a iOS/Android device.
