TikTok/YouTube Shorts-like feature to view and create short videos #4340

Closed ppnplus closed 3 years ago

ppnplus commented 3 years ago

Describe the problem to be solved Short videos trend have been rising in the past few years. TikTok is massively popular, and other platforms such as YouTube and Facebook have integrated these features, either as a separate category or including all existing videos in the platform with the new interface for viewing and creating these short videos.

Describe the solution you would like: An integration to PeerTube that allows users to view short videos in a separate TikTok-like interface, and a feature to allow users to easily shoot, add graphics, and create short videos.

Describe alternatives you have considered If not integrated into PeerTube, it could be as a plug-in or a separate project. The video creation feature might require a mobile app for good user experience.

How about work with devs of peertube apps like tubelab or thorium and get them to add video editing libraries to apps. I for one know to developer of tubelab was almost ready to ship video editing capability in the app before he pulled the plug on github for his repo.

If you can get that done for regular videos, there isn't much to do from the peertube server side because you can already have tags so my idea is, for an instance you can do #shortvideo in any video and the app picks it as a tiktok pike video. To understand this, fedilab a mastodon app already has this similar functionality where it picks up any post with #art in a beautiful gallery view. Same can be done with videos, you just have to get editing done on the app, not here

Peertube has plugins system, someone can try building a plugin that brings video editing tools into Peertube.

Hello,

Unfortunately we don't have time to create a dedicated interface/page for very short videos.

But like @ranjithrajv said, we have a plugin API and could help to create appropriate hooks. Moreover we propose a REST API than can be used by a custom peertube client (native or web) dedicated to short videos. So you can easily create your own peertube interface :)
