Aive platform visual: explore the future of video

In 30 seconds, if you’re in a hurry

Context

The Storyboard, at the heart of video edit management, had become confusing: too much information, unclear actions.

Goal

Streamline workflows, reduce frustration and make features visible, building on the existing product.

Outcome

100% of tested users find and use navigation and export without any help.

The context

Aive is an AI platform that automates and optimises video post-production for professionals and businesses, generating video content at scale.

Storyboard navigation, essential for managing edits, suffered from usability issues and a lack of evolution. Users struggled to manage several edits, navigate features and understand the available actions.

What existed A Storyboard page already in place, but inefficient and too complex for users.
The need Users lost in the amount of information and the steps needed to generate a video.
The process Gather CRM team feedback, run interviews and pinpoint pain points along the journey.

The goal

Rethink navigation and related features to streamline workflows, reduce user frustration and improve feature visibility.

A crucial redesign to deliver on Aive’s promise: saving video project managers weeks of post-production by using AI to generate, organise and export variations. All while iterating on an existing platform, based on user feedback.
