Background
VideoCutTool is a video editing tool for videos which are on Wikimedia Commons. The Tool offers users the ability to edit their videos through various features, including cropping, trimming, disabling audio, and rotating. Before this tool, individuals who desired to edit their files would need to download them, perform the edits using editing software, and then re-upload the files to Wikimedia Commons. This process was manual, time-consuming, and necessitated expertise in editing. However, with this tool, users can now edit and re-upload files from Wikimedia Commons quickly and easily. The process is dependable and does not necessitate any prior editing knowledge

Identifying problems
The Videocuttool is in need of significant improvements in its user interface (UI) to enhance user-friendliness. Moreover, it lacks the crucial feature of maintaining persistence upon page refresh, which can lead to a frustrating user experience. To address this, a new user-oriented experience should be designed, allowing users to save and organize their video editing endeavors as projects. This way, the application can offer a more streamlined and efficient environment for users to work on their video editing tasks, all while ensuring that their work is securely stored and easily accessible across sessions.

Acknowledgements
I've had an incredibly enjoyable journey this summer. Throughout this time, my mentors, Gopa Vasanth and Sohom Datta, have been there every step of the way, guiding me, assisting me in problem-solving, and redirecting me when I encountered roadblocks.

What's next
I plan to focus my efforts primarily on the videocutool and other projects for an extended period, dedicating my time to addressing community feedback and tackling any emerging bugs. Furthermore, I am committed to continuing my contributions to various aspects of Wikimedia and assisting with technical challenges within the Wikimedia community.
