Flareon

Flareon is an open-source, cross-platform video editor designed to deliver a seamless editing experience across devices, catering to both beginners and experienced editors. Initially developed as a Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) contest project, Flareon leverages KMP to share code between platforms, ensuring consistency and efficiency. The project was later set aside due to time constraints and complexity, with focus shifting to Byte Blaster, but remains a promising endeavor in video editing innovation.

Features

• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Supports multiple platforms including desktop mobile, allowing users to edit videos on their preferred devices without compatibility issues.
• User-Friendly Interface: Offers an intuitive UI designed for accessibility, making video editing approachable for beginners while providing advanced tools for seasoned editors.
• Shared Codebase with KMP: Utilizes Kotlin Multiplatform to share core logic across platforms, reducing development overhead and ensuring a consistent experience.
• Video Editing Capabilities: Includes essential editing features such as trimming, cutting, transitions, and effects, with plans for more advanced functionalities like multi-track editing and real-time previews.

Purpose

Flareon was conceived to address the need for a versatile, open-source video editing tool that works seamlessly across platforms. By leveraging Kotlin Multiplatform, the project aims to reduce the fragmentation often seen in video editing software, providing a unified experience for users regardless of their device. The focus on accessibility ensures that beginners can easily get started, while the planned advanced features aim to meet the demands of professional editors, making Flareon a complete solution for video editing.

Status

In Development: Flareon is currently in development, with progress paused to focus on other projects like Byte Blaster due to time constraints during the KMP contest. Future plans include resuming development to add advanced features and polish the user experience.
