A NEW Easier Way To Navigate Clips for Content Creators & Viewers!
My original tweet idea with a diagram: https://twitter.com/Shonen_Ronin/status/1484374423985549313
I have a new idea for clips.
A folder system for clips. Vods dont stay up long so this wouldnt work for it permanently, but on a temporary note, it would work.
It would make it so much easier for me to know what clips i edit and trimmed or re-titled for upload. So i could make folders for games. Make a new clip, title it, and drag it into said folder. Then i can have said folder titled "Clips to upload" or "Clips not to upload" for example. Now when i come back to clips, i dont have to sift through clips to find my clips for tiktok.
Not every clip is as hilarious to everyone else as it was to me. So I want to only showcase the good ones. Content worthy clips. But i dont wanna get rid of all my memories. So i want to show those to only myself or people who have the link/permission (ex. Mods & vips).
(I showed an example for this that you can see in the tweet link at the top of this post.) So I came up with this UI.
A: The folder system. Click and drag a clip from C into a folder in area A. Now area C can be either; #1 "loose clips" or clips not sorted in a folder. Or #2 it can be like it already is, but the folder system included.
B: A basic privacy system
For setup #2, the use for this is so that clips are still displayed by most recent, and then you can use the filters. But on the streamers end, maybe i want to look through my "clips that have music on them" folder. Or my "headshots" folder.
With this system I can easily sort through specific clips without having to watch each one (no i dont remember all my clip even with a title). We can even make it to where the folder system IS visible if made so to the public, in case viewers want to look at specific clips i make available. Then viewers can utilize the folder system in case they want to see which clip it was that i made that crazy shot, but they dont remember which one.
At least now they can go straight to my "headshots" folder and filter it down a little.
Also "B" can be used for the folder system for making folders, deleting and such, much as most users are used to in windows explorer.
Theres so many uses for this that i think would be very useful as a viewer and a content creator! Please consider this!
Also picture attachments would be nice in some sort of way so my diagram could be here instead of having to link people to twitter.
