Project Description
I’m building a lightweight mobile editor modelled after VN, focused purely on fast social-media content creation. The end product should let users shoot or import clips, arrange them on a simple timeline, polish them, and export in formats optimised for Instagram (Stories, Reels, square feed) and YouTube (16:9 uploads, Shorts).
What I need from you
• A cross-platform (iOS + Android) MVP with a responsive timeline that supports the basics—trim, split, merge, and simple multi-layer editing.
• Reliable export presets that automatically match each platform’s resolution, aspect-ratio, and bitrate requirements so creators don’t have to tweak settings manually.
• Smooth playback and scrubbing on mid-range devices; no noticeable lag when handling several short clips.
• A clean, modern UI that feels familiar to creators coming from VN or CapCut, but branded for this new app.
• Build, source code, and concise documentation so I can compile and publish future updates myself.
In your proposal, please outline
1. The tech stack you recommend (native Swift/Kotlin, Flutter, React-Native with FFmpeg, etc.) and why it suits this project.
2. A milestone breakdown from prototype through App Store / Play launch, including approximate timeframes.
3. Links to any previous video-processing or editing apps you’ve shipped.
Optional extras such as filters, captions, or royalty-free music libraries can be added later, so feel free to suggest them—but the initial focus is a rock-solid core editor that gets content out to Instagram and YouTube quickly.
Looking forward to your ideas and timelines.
