- Project Brief: Design an app that simplifies mobile video editing through intuitive UX, streamlined workflows, and creator-focused interaction design.
A mobile video editing app succeeds when professional-grade tools stop feeling like professional-grade effort. Fractal Labs' Cavro makes that case through a UI/UX system built around the reality that most creators edit on a phone, under time pressure, and need the interface to stay out of the way.
The home screen puts active projects and platform-specific templates front and center, organized by format: Story, Post, TikTok, Reel. A persistent bottom navigation bar keeps core actions reachable with one thumb, so the layout never asks creators to hunt for what they need before making content.
The editing interface runs on a dark canvas of deep charcoal and black, with coral-red and amber used specifically for active timeline elements and playback controls. Text layers, audio tracks and effects sit in color-coded horizontal strips below the preview, giving the timeline enough visual structure to read at a glance without requiring a manual to decode.
Preset effects like Golden Glow and Cinematic Blur surface directly in the timeline, keeping creative decisions in the same space as editing decisions. Export options and resolution controls sit at the top right, so the path from cut to share stays within a few taps.
