Muvee: An Alternative Approach to Mobile Video Trimming

Video content creation on mobile devices has rapidly increased during the last years, whereas the on-site mobile post-production capability has not yet followed this trend. On-the-fly video editing is not a common approach among amateur or professional content producers. This paper presents a proof-of-concept mobile application for video trimming that is practicable and efficient. The implementation is evaluated through a user study involving a task-based exercise, a questionnaire and an open interview. The study indicates that even complex applications can offer positive user experience when the particular design is carefully thought through to overcome the limitations of mobile devices.
