Sojorn Media Editor Migration - Implementation Summary

Date: January 24, 2026
Lead Developer: Sojorn Team
Status: ✅ Complete (Image Editor Fully Functional, Video Editor Prepared)

Overview

Successfully migrated Sojorn's media editing suite to the Pro versions (pro_image_editor and pro_video_editor), standardized the implementation with unified result handling, aligned UI with AppTheme, and configured for temp directory storage with background upload integration.

✅ Completed Tasks

1. Dependency Management

  • Status: ✅ Complete
  • Changes:
    • Verified no redundant video_editor dependency exists (was already removed)
    • Retained pro_image_editor: ^6.0.0
    • Retained pro_video_editor: ^1.2.3
    • Added ffmpeg_kit_flutter: ^6.0.3 for video processing support
    • All dependencies successfully fetched via flutter pub get

2. Unified Result Class

  • Status: ✅ Complete
  • File: sojorn_app/lib/models/sojorn_media_result.dart
  • Features:
    • Handles both Uint8List bytes and String file paths
    • Factory constructors for image and video media types
    • Helper getters (isImage, isVideo, hasBytes, hasFilePath)
    • Web and mobile platform compatible

3. Image Editor Implementation

  • Status: ✅ Complete - Fully Functional
  • File: sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/image_editor_screen.dart
  • Features:
    • ✅ Uses AppTheme.brightNavy for primary actions, loading indicators, and active slider tracks
    • ✅ Uses 0xFF0B0B0B (matte black) background matching design
    • ✅ Disabled distracting features:
      • Paint editor disabled
      • Text editor disabled
      • Emoji editor disabled
      • Sticker editor disabled
      • Blur editor disabled
    • ✅ Focus on high-quality editing: cropping, rotation, filters, and tune adjustments
    • ✅ Temp directory storage with path_provider
    • ✅ Returns SojornMediaResult with proper file paths or bytes
    • ✅ Custom AppBar with Undo/Redo and Save functionality
    • ✅ JPEG export at 85% quality

4. Video Editor Implementation

  • Status: ⚠️ Prepared (Placeholder - FFmpeg Configuration Required)
  • File: sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/video_editor_screen.dart
  • Current State:
    • Placeholder implementation that saves videos to temp directory
    • Properly structured with AppTheme branding
    • Returns SojornMediaResult for consistency
    • Configured for future Pro version integration
  • Required for Full Implementation:
    • FFmpeg library integration and configuration
    • Platform-specific video codec setup
    • Video trimming, cropping, and rotation UI
    • Filter application for videos
  • Technical Specifications (Ready for Implementation):
    • generateInsideSeparateThread: true for non-blocking exports
    • Export format: .mp4 with H.264 codec
    • High-quality video output
    • Stickers and text overlays disabled per philosophy

5. Compose Screen Integration

  • Status: ✅ Complete
  • File: sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/compose_screen.dart
  • Changes:
    • Updated to use SojornMediaResult instead of ImageEditorResult
    • Properly handles both bytes and file paths
    • Background upload integration via ImageUploadService
    • Seamless web and mobile compatibility

🎨 Branding & UI Compliance

All editors strictly adhere to the Sojorn AppTheme:

Element Color Usage
Primary Actions AppTheme.brightNavy (0xFF1974D1) Buttons, active states
Background Matte Black (0xFF0B0B0B) Editor canvas background
Panel Background Panel Black (0xFF111111) Secondary panels
Active Slider Track AppTheme.brightNavy Slider active state
Loading Indicators AppTheme.brightNavy Progress spinners
Text White (0xFFFFFFFF) Primary text and icons

📁 File Storage Architecture

Temp Directory Strategy

  • Implementation: Uses path_provider.getTemporaryDirectory()
  • File Naming: sojorn_image_[timestamp].jpg and sojorn_video_[timestamp].mp4
  • Benefits:
    • Automatic OS cleanup
    • No permission requirements
    • Cross-platform compatibility
    • Clean separation from user files

Upload Integration

  • Service: ImageUploadService (also handles videos)
  • Flow:
    1. User edits media in editor
    2. Editor saves to temp directory
    3. Returns SojornMediaResult with file path/bytes
    4. Compose screen triggers upload via ImageUploadService
    5. Upload service sanitizes and uploads to Cloudflare R2
    6. Public URL returned and attached to post

Short Term (Video Editor Completion)

  1. Configure FFmpeg:

    • Set up FFmpeg libraries for Android/iOS
    • Configure video codecs and processing
    • Test video export performance

  2. Implement Pro Video Editor:

    • Replace placeholder with actual pro_video_editor integration
    • Add trim/crop/rotate UI
    • Implement filter application
    • Test background thread export

Long Term

  1. Performance Optimization:

    • Optimize image/video processing
    • Implement progress indicators for long operations

  2. Feature Enhancement:

    • Consider adding advanced color grading
    • Evaluate aspect ratio presets
    • Add export quality selection

📝 Files Modified

Created

  • sojorn_app/lib/models/sojorn_media_result.dart - Unified result class

Modified

  • sojorn_app/pubspec.yaml - Added ffmpeg_kit_flutter dependency
  • sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/image_editor_screen.dart - Full Pro implementation
  • sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/video_editor_screen.dart - Placeholder with temp storage
  • sojorn_app/lib/screens/compose/compose_screen.dart - Updated to use SojornMediaResult

Requires Attention

  • sojorn_app/lib/screens/quips/create/quip_editor_screen.dart - Still references old video_editor package

⚠️ Known Issues

  1. Video Editor Not Fully Functional:

    • Currently a placeholder implementation
    • Requires FFmpeg configuration before Pro features work
    • Will pass through videos without editing until configured

  2. Deprecated Package:

    • ffmpeg_kit_flutter is marked as discontinued
    • Consider alternative video processing solutions in future

  3. Quip Editor Screen:

    • Still references removed video_editor package
    • Needs migration to pro_video_editor or alternative solution

🎯 Success Criteria

  • Remove redundant non-Pro video_editor dependency
  • Implement unified SojornMediaResult class
  • Image editor uses AppTheme constants throughout
  • Image editor uses matte black background (0xFF0B0B0B)
  • Disable stickers and emojis
  • Temp directory storage implementation
  • Upload service integration ready
  • Web and mobile compatibility
  • Video editor fully functional (pending FFmpeg setup)
