Tailoring ability needs to be added

2) Directly add template video (opening and ending) & footage function.
Basic video optimization capabilities need to be added
1) The “Video Mosaic Function” provides some necessary templates (three screens, two screens, grouping) for picture-in-picture capabilities to meet users’ demands for displaying multiple videos on the same screen.
2) For the audio layer, add “audio and video card point alignment function”, “quickly adjust the starting point”, “audio and video separation”, and “original sound enhancement”.

- Requirements: Use tools to add music and special effects to achieve basic editing functions; the software is simple and easy to learn and use, and the tool interface is not complicated. It is best to generate videos with one click.
2) Waist users

Based on the overall high app market rating of Cut Ying, it only extracts the core demands of users based on the 1 to 3 star reviews (330 pieces) on Android and iOS in the past month.
1) Bugs (stuck, crash, network anomalies, import and export anomalies) accounted for more than 60%

- TOP issues for Android users: performance category (33%), import and export optimization (10%), increase of function points (10%), update-related (9%) accounted for 60%+.
2) User insight
- Performance layer: The performance experience after the update needs to be paid attention to. Users often complain about the fast update frequency and the unsmoothness of some functions after the upgrade.
- Operation layer: Video editing capabilities have basically met user requirements, but there is still a lot of room for optimization of subtitle text editing functions and audio editing functions. At the same time, the operability of the video frame is also the core appeal of users.
- Capability layer: Adding anti-shake function, adding intelligent dubbing, templates and music browsing records are all reasonable function appeal points for users.
3) High-quality user reviews
- Can you add a function to rotate the video by ninety degrees, switch between horizontal and vertical screens, and cut out the extra screen.
- I hope that smart dubbing can be produced, and there is no starting point when adding a soundtrack. It is difficult to match the climax part of the video with the time-lapse video.
- Cut Ying is fully updated and repaired to make the sound quality better. The sound quality of Douyin is the same as that of Kuaishou, and the sound quality of the whole network cannot be independent. This must be optimized. In the production, as long as there is a point that is particularly good, it can automatically recognize the characters in the excision, and it is especially convenient to leave the favorite magnifier, which must be retained.
- It is fine to not compress the number of frames. No matter how many frames of video are imported, it becomes 30. If the problem can be solved, it will be five-star praise.
- Fun is fun, you can see it by yourself, but you can’t let people do tasks and make money. You have to recommend insiders to do tasks and make money. This is very hopeful. It’s not good at all, and there are more than one star. Gave it.
- I really want to vomit. I didn’t download Douyin, and I couldn’t jump when exporting the video. Then I actively saved it to the album. I saved it in the album before. I recently turned it over. What does it mean? It’s stuck, the music continues. There are one or two in the front of the picture, and there is nothing in the back. Then I thought it was too long, so I made another one, and it was still the same! No matter if it is posted on WeChat Moments or QQ, none of the videos are not music continuing, and there is no picture. Then go to the draft box, eh! It’s all right, I hope to deal with it.
In recent years, short video platform competition has intensified, and short video user penetration rate has reached a certain peak. In this context, how to retain users and enrich UGC content has become a core issue for future development. Ordinary video templates can no longer meet the needs of most users, and users are more willing to make videos more diverse through production techniques such as splicing and editing.
As a result, video production tools began to continuously develop and iterate. The video production App represented by Cut Screen, Quick Video, and Inshot meets the various needs of users when making videos to a greater extent, and facilitates users to create more creative and higher-quality video works.
According to Aurora Mobile (NASDAQ: JG) data: the penetration rate of the video production industry is 19.6%, and out of every 10 mobile phone netizens, 1.96 people have installed a video production app, represented by cut screenings, snapshots and draft designs , Video production App has shown a significant growth trend in terms of user scale.
In terms of growth trends, in 2020, the penetration rate of the video production industry will maintain a year-on-year growth rate of 71.1%-138.1%. The high growth rate can indicate that the video production platform has not reached its ceiling and has huge growth potential.
