The Challenge
Existing mobile video editors lacked integration with backend AI analysis. Creators had to switch between desktop analysis tools and mobile editors, resulting in:
- Fragmented workflows across devices
- No way to leverage speaker detection data on mobile
- Limited audio trimming and synchronization capabilities on mobile
Our Solution
We developed a Flutter-based cross-platform mobile application that seamlessly connects with the AI analysis backend, enabling creators to edit videos with AI-informed context directly on their phones.
Architecture
- Framework: Flutter 3.4.3+ for iOS, Android, and macOS
- State Management: Provider pattern for reactive UI updates
- Video Processing: FFmpeg Kit for on-device rendering, native video_editor integration
- Networking: Dio HTTP client with API integration
- Localization: English and Chinese language support
Key Features
- AI-Connected Editing - View active speaker timelines and cut accordingly
- Video Trimming & Cropping - Frame-accurate editing with gesture controls
- Audio Synchronization - Multi-track audio alignment and trimming
- Media Management - Import from gallery, camera, or file system
- Bilingual Support - Full English and Chinese localization

Real-Time Video Object Tracking with Automatic Centering & Recovery
A video production team needed a tool that could track a selected object in video footage and automatically keep it centered in the frame as it moved — with smooth transitions, multiple tracking algorithm options, and automatic recovery when the tracker lost the target.
AI-Powered Active Speaker Detection for Multi-Camera Video Production
A media production company handling multi-camera interview and panel discussion shoots needed an automated way to identify who is speaking at any given moment across complex video footage.
Frequently Asked Questions
MicrocosmWorks built the rendering pipeline using a shared C++ core with platform-specific GPU backends, using Metal on iOS and Vulkan on Android. This ensures identical filter application, color grading, and compositing results across platforms, with a test suite that validates frame-by-frame output parity on reference devices.
MicrocosmWorks integrated on-device ML models for automatic scene detection, subject tracking, audio beat detection for music sync, and content-aware cropping suggestions. These models run entirely on-device using Core ML and TensorFlow Lite, ensuring instant analysis without uploading video to the cloud.
MicrocosmWorks implemented a proxy-based editing workflow where the app generates lightweight 720p proxy files for timeline editing and applies the edit decision list to the original 4K source during final export. The memory-mapped file I/O system keeps peak RAM usage under 300MB even when editing hour-long 4K footage.
Yes, MicrocosmWorks built preset export profiles for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and standard YouTube that automatically apply the correct aspect ratio, resolution, bitrate, and codec settings. Users can preview how their edit will appear in each platform's player before exporting.
MicrocosmWorks delivers mobile video editing platforms at rates of $25-$50/hr, with a full-featured editor including the C++ rendering core, AI analysis features, and social export functionality typically requiring 800-1200 development hours. The cross-platform architecture saves approximately 40% compared to building separate native iOS and Android apps.
