Challenges

Video Loading Time
Video loading time was one of the most complex tasks to manage.
No user waits for a video to play if it does not work in 5-10secs.
The team had to ensure every video played in no time for a better online experience.
Video Trimming Feature
We had to allow the users to trim the video and share the required content on the platform.
It was tricky to manage the unwanted content and ensure smooth functioning.
The trimming feature needed to work reliably within the job application development.

Our Solution

Video Caching and Preloading
Created a video cache and a listing video that can quickly load the following three videos.
It preloads the following video for the users for faster playback.
This approach ensures videos load in less time for a better user experience.
FFmpeg Trimming Integration
Used the FFmpeg functionality and created a slider with the video's start and end points.
A developer fetches the beginning and end points of the video from the slider selected by the user and creates a trimmed video.
After that, the team can display or upload the footage smoothly into the feed.
