Challenge

With the proliferation of digital content, audiences faced the issue of content monotony when relying solely on text and images to consume news. As a result, Socialwire recognized the need for a video-based news platform that aggregates content from various articles, saving users’ time and providing a seamless experience. Leveraging Ekotek's expertise in Video SNS development, Socialwire chose them as their development partner for 8beat.

Solution

Ekotek developed 8beat as a web application, focusing on a minimalist UI/UX design that allows users to easily create and edit videos with just a few clicks. We used data crawling to aggregate content from the provided article links to generate a concise news video. By integrating a music library from Audiostock, users can use captivating background music for their short news videos, ensuring an engaging news-watching experience.

Results

Users can simply copy and paste the link of an article to create and edit their short videos. The 8beat platform encompasses two main features: - User page: They can create videos without the need for logging in, explore videos uploaded publicly by other users, and easily share videos on various social media platforms. - Admin page: This feature enables efficient management of users and video information, ensuring adherence to quality and content standards and preventing any violations.
