Feature description
Improve the current Reframe editor UI by refining the layout and organizing controls more effectively to create a cleaner and more intuitive editing experience.

Problem this solves
The current editor offers strong functionality, but the interface can feel somewhat crowded because multiple controls are visible at the same time.

Some usability concerns:

The video preview area could be more visually prominent
Controls feel densely packed, making navigation less intuitive
Related tools could be grouped more clearly
First-time users may find the interface slightly overwhelming

Proposed solution
Refine the existing UI instead of a full redesign.

Possible improvements:

Better spacing and alignment between controls
Clearer grouping of related editing tools
Make the video preview section more prominent
Improve visual hierarchy for easier navigation
Organize settings into cleaner sections/cards
Improve responsive layout behavior

Technical idea:
This could involve restructuring the existing VideoEditor layout and refining how current components are arranged without changing the core functionality.

Alternatives considered
A complete UI redesign was considered, but a focused refinement of the current interface would be a more practical and manageable improvement.

Additional context
This request focuses on improving usability and workflow clarity while preserving the existing feature set.
I'd like to work on this — contributing under GSSoC'26
