I've been working on this for close to 2 years, including in quarantine: https://phot-awe.com

It's a video editor with some really cool effects/transitions. In quarantine, I've been re-vamping the UI to make incredibly easy to create videos.

I hope to have another version in about 1 week where creating videos will feel quite seamless ;)

(Adding media into your video project has been hard - which is what I'm fixing right now.)

Maybe it's because I'm on mobile but I'm not seeing any images of the actual application. Personally when I work with an editor, me deciding to download it is heavily based on what it looks like. If I have to download it to see... I won't.

I completely understand. I'm in the process of rebuilding the UI - so I did not want to post "stale" screenshots. I really hope to have the new version of the app ready in less than a week, and then take a few screenshots and post them ;)

Having said that, in the near future (3-4 months), I will redesign the site. Already hired a team. It's really interesting how things your idea of what should be on the website changes as things shape up. So, it will be a redesign from the ground up - but for that, I need to have a few more features ready - and that will take tiiiiime :)

EDIT: I should have mentioned: this is Windows10 only for now. I may port it to other platforms assuming all goes well.
