When I worked at Tout in San Francisco, I had the opportunity to work on some new video features for the Tout video app. During my time there, major changes took place and the core business shifted from being a social media app to a real-time news network. Our primary persona was news reporters who were in the field capturing video footage to post to major news sites, and it was our chance to give them a nice video editing app that would give them not only good footage, but also allow them to really refine their videos and add in some branding.
I was responsible for the interaction design of the new iOS video recording interface, as well as for the video customizing features like audio overlay, image insertion, and video trimming. I also ran some usability testing to see if there were any areas where users were having trouble accomplishing their basic tasks. The app has been a major point of success for Tout in their new core business and is still available on the App store. Eventually, I also designed some of the new video editing features on the Android version which is also available now in the Google Play Store.
