through time.

A video is more than a sequence of still frames. Minko turns it into a navigable space, where width and height form the picture and depth reveals time.

THE NAME BEHIND MINKO

Hermann Minkowski made space and time visible together.

His 1908 lecture described an event as a place at a particular time, and a moving object's history as a worldline. Minko takes visual inspiration from that idea—it does not simulate relativity.

The story behind Minko

THE IDEA

From a clip to a space you can explore.

Instead of looking at one moment at a time, Minko places frames along a time axis. Motion becomes a form you can orbit, scrub, and inspect.

01 / OPEN

Choose a video

Use your own file or one of the included demos. Your file stays on your device; Minko processes it in the browser.

02 / BUILD

Place frames in time

Frames become slices of a 3D texture. Detail settings balance the number of slices against processing time and memory.

03 / EXPLORE

Look through motion

Orbit the stack, move the current slice, and compare it with the original video playing alongside it.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE

Follow a path. Find a pattern.

A changing image leaves a structure across time. Minko gives you controls to examine that structure from more than one angle.

01 — MOTION PATHS

Trace movement through time.

A moving object draws a path through the frame stack, making direction and repetition easier to inspect.

02 — PERSPECTIVE

Change your point of view.

Orbit freely, switch to a front view, or let the camera follow the current time slice.

03 — CONTEXT

Keep the source beside you.

Play the original video next to the frame stack so the visual structure stays connected to the clip.

START EXPLORING

Try it before choosing a file.

Two small demo videos are built into Minko. Watch the motion here, then open the app to see how each clip becomes a frame stack.
