A woman that looks like Charlize Theron or Catherine Heigl has a kid that looks like a young Dylan Minette and starts dating a guy that was secretly living in their house the whole time. My guess is early 2000’s like ‘06
There is a scene where the guy has a gun to the moms head while she is driving, she has her seat belt on and he doesn’t, so she just hits the gas then breaks and he goes flying through the windshield.
Just an update for August, all of our UI is pretty much mapped out, there no doubt will be small changes to the UI in the future as we come across things we need and want. But I like this layout for the most part. You will be able to swap your modules (preview, transport, timeline, toolbox) around, this is currently the default layout, but for example I like to have the transport above the preview like a psycho. You can resize these, not perfect at the moment, they have their limitations, you can easily make the preview smaller if you'd like and the tool box bigger. The more important UI that you will care about is how FX and Overlay works. Personally I think this layout is the most intuitive for beginners and just makes sense looking at it while you layer your media/effects. The overlay and effects tab will grow taller when stacking media/effects and you will be able to focus those specific timelines to get a closer look, as well as scroll up and down on the entire timeline if you don't want to focus/collapse anything. I also had an idea for a cut tool that lives on the playhead and googled it to see if anyone else has done this and found out another editor, "Filmora" shares this feature. (Not that we inspire to be like Filmora, quite the opposite haha). Just proving that it's not completely insane.
As far as everything you see in the screenshot, stuff like "Speed" that changes clip speed, Effects, Transitions, Background removal, Green screen, etc. Are not fully mapped out, that will be work for October, November, December. This is just proof of concept/layout, right now we have playback, and other basic essentials like cutting, auto ripple etc. Currently we don't have a project page or anything like that.
September, just like the Development Timeline states, will be for making sure everything is running efficiently, but obviously there will be many versions of this throughout the build, maintaining performance as we add new things, but it's important we have a really good foundation first, I have already flagged performance issues that I will be fixing in September. We want to make sure as we fully build out other features, we know where the issues are coming from. Limiting as many culprits as possible off the bat.
Anyways, I appreciate everyone who has joined the server to follow Project Mina's development, it's already an extremely humbling, but rewarding experience, and the motivation to see this through not only grows the farther I get, but with each new person willing to give it a try and implement feedback.
If you don’t know already, Project Mina is an upcoming video editor that was inspired off my current distain for how greedy video editing softwares has gotten. Some may be free but charge for very simple and essential tools. As well as how simple and powerful phone editors like Videoleap can be. Which reminded me of how cluttered and confusing desktop editors can be to the point of scaring off beginners. Why can’t desktop editors be straightforward too? Why do phones get one click rotoscope, easy chroma keys, and perfect easy to use effects, but desktop can’t? My goal with Mina is to have something powerful as desktop, but easy to use like phone editors, declutter and have beautiful UI. Oh and it will be 100% free forever, no in app purchases or sign ups. 100% offline.
Welcome to Project Mina!
Hello, My name is Ray (creator of Star Wars: Bloodline) and I have been working on a completely free and I mean free, no monthly subscriptions, no in app purchases, I'm not selling your data, it's going to be free.
I love how simple and approachable editing on a phone feels. You can pick it up in minutes and start creating. But those apps often come with compromises. AI features are pushed everywhere, customization is limited, subscriptions are common, and there are walls that stop you from making something truly your own. Something as simple as adding your own fonts shouldn't be a premium or completely absent feature.
On the other hand, professional editors like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere are incredibly powerful, but they can also be overwhelming. I don't think they're bad products. In fact, I think DaVinci is probably the best example of what I want in the professional space today. I also don't think creating professional looking videos should require hours of tutorials, complicated node graphs, expensive plugins, or saving custom Fusion templates just to reuse an effect.
It doesn't have to be that difficult.
Phone editors proved that editing can be intuitive. I believe desktop editing can be just as approachable without sacrificing power.
My goal is to build an editor where the tools you actually need are included from day one. Blur effects, lens flares, film scratches, transitions, motion graphics, color tools, audio effects, and everything else you need should already be there, ready to use and fully customizable. No hunting for plugins. No paying monthly just to unlock basic features. Buy it once, own it forever, and receive free updates for life.
The other core pillar is modularity.
Most editors force everyone into the same workspace, even though everyone thinks differently. I want your editor to adapt to you instead.
Don't use color correction very often? Collapse it into a toolbox and get it out of the way. Want your effects panel on the left instead of the right? Move it. Prefer audio controls at the top? Put them there. Organize your workspace however your brain works, not how someone else decided it should.
The goal isn't to make the easiest video editor.
The goal is to make the most intuitive one.
An editor that's powerful enough for professionals, approachable enough for beginners, customizable enough for everyone, and doesn't nickel and dime you every month just to create.
Hello, I'm Ray, solo developer of DIMENGUARD, my pitch is simple: What if Pac-Man was a roguelike? DIMENGUARD takes the tight, unmistakable feel of Pac-Man gameplay and rebuilds it with modern roguelike systems: run based progression, procedural level generation, build variety, and replay ability that is difficult, but not because of it's clunkiness, but actual thoughtful systems that weren't conjured over night. It's inspired by the current wave of beloved retro revival roguelikes/roguelites like He is Coming, Tiny Rogues, and Rogue Drifter to name a few. Games that use nostalgic presentation as a vehicle for genuinely modern, polished design, rather than a substitute for it. That distinction is the core of this project. I've played countless official and licensed Pac-Man releases that may look like Pac-Man, but failed to capture the actualy quality and game feel of the original arcade classic that I so desperately love. From inconsistent clunky controls that would feel like an entirely different build than the game you grew up playing on, to dated design instincts that were never polished with care. We don't want Pac-Man 3D, Pac-Man Battle Royale, we just want Pac-Man. So I brought forward everything I not only loved about Pac-Man, but also what I thought would make this game more meaningful than a faithless port or boring rework. Here is a rework that matters. A rework that brings D20's, Vampires, Basilisks, Werewolves, Dragons, Mind Flayers, Slimes to a world that you didn't realize could hold it. I bring you DIMENGUARD. Wishlist Now!
Play a wizard sworn to guard the deep. Cast your spells, gather the gold, and survive the bargain on every floor of a dungeon that's never the same twice.
You are the Dimenguard, the Dimensional Guard of the Subterranean. The deep is yours to protect, and protecting it means going down into it, floor after floor, clearing the gold while four monsters hunt you through the dark.
Every floor is a brand new dungeon, generated fresh. You never learn a layout, because there isn't one to learn. The maze, the gold, the gem veins, the tunnels, and where the monsters wait are different on every single run.
The Skeleton lies still until you get close, then wakes and gives chase. The Mind Flayer reads where you're going and cuts you off at the corners. The Dragon charges you down any open hall. The Slime is slow, but it never stops coming, and it boxes you in while the faster monsters close the gap.
Go deep enough and the dungeon pushes back. There are themed bosses, Esmerelda the Mother Dragon, Priscilla the Mother Slime who keeps splitting into more of herself, Millicent the Skeleton Queen who raises the dead, and Cerebella the Elder Brain. There is also a Basilisk that grows longer and hunts you f o r e v e r. See how far down you can get.
I’m not claiming my thumbnail to be super great, and I’m only going off very limited information. But I whipped this up very quickly, in the future just try to blur your backgrounds, add shadows (simple trick is to just duplicate the image and make it black and slightly off center it behind in the background), add depth with putting focus/defocus in specific areas of your thumbnail so it catches viewers eyes. You want the foreground of your thumbnail to pop! And don’t repeat exactly what the title of your video is in your thumbnail, do something else catchy or nothing at all!
I made it from an altoids container, an old broken blue yeti mic that I took apart, Polaroid batteries that I thought looked cool, some old chargers I didn’t use anymore, an adapter that both ends of the charger could feed into, a digital timer that I took apart, bottle caps, of course a shit ton of colorful rubber bands, gorilla glue, an extendable magnet for an antena, my goal with this was it for it to almost look like a kid made it. I wanted to feel as scrappy as possible.
Found it in my dads (passed away last year) jeep/glove compartment, when I was cleaning it up to try and sell it because it doesn’t run unfortunately.
I think it’s a homemade walkie talkie because I’m 99% sure the thing on top is a mic, but I’m confused because the antenna seems to be a magnet not a “antenna”. The batteries seem to be dead and I can’t change them for obvious reasons. I looked up the jones bottle cap and it seems to be recently from a 2025 release so it can’t be that old. The digital timer seems newer as well. It had an aluminum chassis on the front as well as an altoids can being the bulk of the support and holding the insides. I tried plugging and unplugging the white wires and trying different chargers that I owned and nothing worked :/ I can almost hear a faint ringing that’s so quiet like when a charger block is in the wall. Should I take it apart?
Looking for a full time editing job! I’ve been editing for over ten years, currently working on an animated pilot and just finished a massive fan edit project and I’m ready to take on more work!
