ProPane: fast and precise video browsing on mobile phones

Published: 04 December 2012 Publication History

Abstract

Studies show that every fourth smartphone user watches videos on their device. However, because of increasing camera and encoding quality more and more smartphones are providing an attractive tool for creating and editing videos. The demand for smooth video browsing interfaces is challenged by the limited input and output capabilities that such mobile devices offer. This paper discusses a novel interface for fast and precise video browsing suitable for watching and editing videos. The browsing mechanism offers a simple but powerful interface for browsing videos at different levels of granularity. All interactions can be carried out with no modal changes at all. The interface is easy to understand and efficient to use. A first evaluation proves the suitability of the presented design for casual users as well as for creative professionals such as video editors.
