@ilhamzacky What have you tried? What have you already looked at?
Creating a video editor isn’t exactly a trivial task, so if you haven’t even made an attempt at doing something yourself, then you’re going to struggle I’m afraid.

@martinbean thanks for your quick replay, i tried to make it using after effect, but to do it requires adobe after effect to be installed
@ilhamzacky I wouldn't attempt to create a service for this myself. There are 3rd party api which offer that service that you can hook into.
@ilhamzacky Adobe AfterEffects is desktop software. It has nothing to do with a web application framework like Laravel.
@martinbean thanks for the replay, I just have a silly question, don't take me wrong, cant we install any desktop application like Adobe AfterEffects on live ??
Only if you plan on using the server as remote desktop and allow people to log onto windows on the machine :)
@ilhamzacky you wont be able to install aftereffects on live as it is desktop software and you'll be licensed per user.
Just curious. Is this your first assignment into making a website? Or is this just a hobby project.
@sinnbeck nope i am full stack developer with 1-year experience, this is one of my companies new project, i have some experience on laravel
So you have been working professionally with php etc, for a year, and you are not sure of the difference between a desktop program and website?
@sinnbeck ha ha hmm, i am not that much fluent, very sorry if I said anything wrong
@ilhamzacky I think @sinnbeck is trying to point out that, despite saying you have a year’s experience, you still seem to not understand the difference between web-based software and desktop-based software, which is kinda fundamental if you want to build web-based products.
There was a project years ago for using web to access desktop apps, but I can not recall the name of it. Since I haven't heard about it recently I can only guess that the company aborted the project. I do know that they were purchased by some major company for huge amount of money. Sorry I can not remember the name of it.
Update: while writing I've mange to remember the name https://fra.me/
So I do not see the point in making that kind of project. How do companies get funds for those ideas without checking out the market is beyond my imagination.
Compiling from source used to be my go-to move, but honestly, it's such a pain—especially with old drivers like that NVIDIA one. I ran into the same problem ages ago on GhostBSD with a legacy GPU and thought downloading files directly from NVIDIA would work. Turns out it just made things harder. Using the pkg system is way easier and keeps everything organized. If you’re stuck with an old card, I’d just go with whatever version pkg offers or fall back to scfb if needed.
On a side note, I’ve been messing around with AMVs lately and needed a quick way to convert some old files into usable formats. I ended up using this https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/mjpeg-converter.html converter online that didn’t need any setup—super helpful when I was in a rush.
