So I’ve been using tiktok for a while and I really like the feature of recording and editing videos simultaneously. Here’s the process:

First you set how long you want the video to be and whether to add audio.

Second, adjust the inputs for the next clip and record. Repeat this step until finished. It requires only two clicks to discard a clip.

Third, you can insert additional effects such as text, voiceover, adjust clips, filter and stickers.

Fourth, create a description and set how you want people to interact with the content. Stitching, dueting, comments.

Optional, you can start the creation process through interaction for example through dueting, stitching and video commenting.

My suggestion

I want to see see libre software that takes inspiration from this process. Making it easier to create creative low effort videos. Saving the videos as files so that it is easy to use them exactly like you want to use them. In particular, this will help decentralized video sharing.

Have the option to save as a format that explicitly state what license it is under and what types of interactions you accept. If the video is rendering content from another video, an appropriate subset of that content will be stored in the format as well.
