Good news! The legendary 2.0 Anniversary Update is here for testing on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms! This update is in fact so grand that it has been split into two phases that will be revealed over the next few months as pre-releases:
Phase 1 (May 30th): Multi-platform support, performance improvements, new world importer and multi-monitor support by @david
Phase 2 (November): New user interface, logo, rendering and animation capabilities by @Nimi, also includes all features in Phase 1 and Minecraft 1.19 support
Since these builds will contain many features and be built on an entirely new C++ engine, expect bugs to appear! As usual, please report them in the Issues and Bugs subforum with as much information as possible included in your topic and project files if possible.
Note: Back up your projects before installing, or install in a separate location!   Now, without further delays...

When you save your project in Mine-imator, a folder is created with the animation name, which contains the .miproject (Mine-imator project) file of your animation together with any skins/textures/scenery you used. This makes sharing animations simple, as everything is located in one place. You can usually find this folder where you installed Mine-imator, inside the Projects folder.
Note: This guide is relevant for all kinds of files, not just Mine-imator projects.
Step 1:
You can't upload a folder to the internet, but you can upload a compressed folder (.zip file), also known as an archive. If you only want to upload a single file, you can skip this step.
To create a compressed folder on Windows, right-click the folder, select "Send to" and pick "Compressed (zipped) folder" as shown below. The newly created compressed folder will have the same name as your original folder with .zip added.

Step 2:
Upload the file or archived folder to a media sharing site. There are some good ones out there, I'd recommend one of these:
MediaFire Google Drive Dropbox Step 3:
When you have uploaded the file (this process varies from site to site), fetch the download link of your file and post it on the forums. Make sure the download works before sharing it with the world!

Are you new to the Mine-imator forums? If so, why not introduce yourself here? 
 
A little about me:
My name is David and I like programming, making videos and listening to music. What music? We'll, pretty much anything from the 70s to the mid 90s, like rock/pop (Queen, David Bowie, 10cc), electro-pop/disco/synth (Pet Shop Boys, Sparks, Depeche Mode) or rock/synth (Simple Minds, Electric Light Orchestra).
 
Oh, and I made Mine-imator and these forums.
 
 
If you want to greet a user in this topic, post a comment or their profile or use the PM system. Please don't post that here, thanks.

For everybody to enjoy the Mine-imator forums, we must make an effort to follow some guidelines.
Speak English
English is the language of the internet, including the Mine-imator forums. You can speak in whatever language you want in PMs, though. Don't create duplicate topics
Keep the amount of topics to a minimum to improve the browsing experience for other members. Don't make more than one account
It takes up forum space, causes confusion between members and makes moderation a headache.
Alternate accounts will be detected, removed and a warning issued to the original account. Post in the correct subforum
If you're unsure, see the header in each subforum to see what you can and what you cannot post there.
Topics that are posted in the wrong place will be moved by a moderator. Don't use oversized signatures
To save everyone from breaking their mouse scroll wheel, keep the signature size to a minimum. 200-250 pixels tall is the absolute maximum. If your signature is ridiculously tall, a moderator will remove it and give you a warning. Don't abuse the Reputation system
The Reputation system was made to highlight  and incentivize helpful and constructive posts. Do not give up- or down-reps to a member just for the sake of increasing or decreasing their rank, or create shops to harvest Reputation in exchange for services. Doing this will result with a warning and eventually your Reputation reset to 0. Don't chat
The forums are for intelligent discussions and not small talk. If you want to chat, go here or use the PM system. Don't use adf.ly or similar services
Unless you are the rightful owner of the thing you're linking to. Don't post a status update about a new topic you've started
If the topic is still visible under "Recent Topics" Do not revive dead topics
A topic is "dead" if the latest reply is more than 2 months old. Rather than bumping them to the top, start a new topic. You may revive your own topics, as long as you add new information. Topic revival is only allowed if the topic is posted in the Mine-imator creations or Mine-imator resources sections of the forums. Use the report button, don't resort to mini-modding
If someone is breaking any of the rules here, don't post anything. Rather, press the "Report" button in the top left of the offender's post. This will alert all moderators, leaving a message like "This is posted in the wrong forum!" will not. Taking matters into your own hands like this is called mini-modding, and posts like that take up space and do not add anything to the topic. Read more about mini-modding here. Do not impersonate others
This includes regular members, moderators or banned users (by using the infamous "BANNED" avatar) These things are not tolerated ANYWHERE on the forums (including the Discord and PMs)
Discussions of illegal subjects/activities (this includes software cracking, torrenting, etc.) Offensive/racist/rude behavior or imagery Bullying or discrimination Spamming (constantly posting the same content, nonsense or useless posts just to get noticed) Pointless swearing/overuse of CAPS Gore/Screamers or other frightening imagery Links to viruses/trojans/malware Images of/links/heavy references to sexual content Advertising potentially malicious products or sites (if you are unsure, ask a moderator) Flashing imagery or excessive use of colors, special characters, smileys and/or oversized fonts Breaking the above rules will result with a warning sent to you by a moderator/administrator. Repeated warnings will result with a banning of your account.

Thanks for your diligent and outstanding efforts over the years, what you've been able to accomplish with GameMaker is nothing short of astounding. Been a pleasure taking this silly little software to the next level with you and best of luck! 

For everybody to enjoy the Mine-imator forums, we must make an effort to follow some guidelines.
Speak English
English is the language of the internet, including the Mine-imator forums. You can speak in whatever language you want in PMs, though. Don't create duplicate topics
Keep the amount of topics to a minimum to improve the browsing experience for other members. Don't make more than one account
It takes up forum space, causes confusion between members and makes moderation a headache.
Alternate accounts will be detected, removed and a warning issued to the original account. Post in the correct subforum
If you're unsure, see the header in each subforum to see what you can and what you cannot post there.
Topics that are posted in the wrong place will be moved by a moderator. Don't use oversized signatures
To save everyone from breaking their mouse scroll wheel, keep the signature size to a minimum. 200-250 pixels tall is the absolute maximum. If your signature is ridiculously tall, a moderator will remove it and give you a warning. Don't abuse the Reputation system
The Reputation system was made to highlight  and incentivize helpful and constructive posts. Do not give up- or down-reps to a member just for the sake of increasing or decreasing their rank, or create shops to harvest Reputation in exchange for services. Doing this will result with a warning and eventually your Reputation reset to 0. Don't chat
The forums are for intelligent discussions and not small talk. If you want to chat, go here or use the PM system. Don't use adf.ly or similar services
Unless you are the rightful owner of the thing you're linking to. Don't post a status update about a new topic you've started
If the topic is still visible under "Recent Topics" Do not revive dead topics
A topic is "dead" if the latest reply is more than 2 months old. Rather than bumping them to the top, start a new topic. You may revive your own topics, as long as you add new information. Topic revival is only allowed if the topic is posted in the Mine-imator creations or Mine-imator resources sections of the forums. Use the report button, don't resort to mini-modding
If someone is breaking any of the rules here, don't post anything. Rather, press the "Report" button in the top left of the offender's post. This will alert all moderators, leaving a message like "This is posted in the wrong forum!" will not. Taking matters into your own hands like this is called mini-modding, and posts like that take up space and do not add anything to the topic. Read more about mini-modding here. Do not impersonate others
This includes regular members, moderators or banned users (by using the infamous "BANNED" avatar) These things are not tolerated ANYWHERE on the forums (including the Discord and PMs)
Discussions of illegal subjects/activities (this includes software cracking, torrenting, etc.) Offensive/racist/rude behavior or imagery Bullying or discrimination Spamming (constantly posting the same content, nonsense or useless posts just to get noticed) Pointless swearing/overuse of CAPS Gore/Screamers or other frightening imagery Links to viruses/trojans/malware Images of/links/heavy references to sexual content Advertising potentially malicious products or sites (if you are unsure, ask a moderator) Flashing imagery or excessive use of colors, special characters, smileys and/or oversized fonts Breaking the above rules will result with a warning sent to you by a moderator/administrator. Repeated warnings will result with a banning of your account.

Mine-imator is for everyone, and the English-only rule is to make sure everyone can understand your topics (including non Spanish speakers). As the rule states, you can speak in Spanish in private messages. You may use Google Translate if you are unable to write in English.

It just redownloads it, but I will try adding .mp4 manually!
Okay, it worked! Thank you!

long have I waited...
 
Seriously though, I can't thank you enough for the amount of work you've put into this software. It's come a long way since I first started using it back in 2015, and I'm proud and privileged to have been able to see its journey through to the end(?). It's become far more than just a fun Minecraft program to play around in, by this point it has become a competent piece of animation software that can even rival that of blender and C4D. The creativity and ingenuity that people have developed while using the software is nothing short of incredible. The artists that work in the software have crazy amounts of talent and creativity, but sometimes it takes that little nudge for you to actually find that talent, or to get the motivation needed to explore and learn.
 
I know there are thousands if not tens of thousands of others like myself who have been able to find a passion with working in the 3D environment; animation and modelling, who would not have found it if it weren't for the accessibility and welcoming nature of the program, and the community that you have built up over the years. Not to sound sappy, but I know for a fact that I would not be where I am now had I not come across Mine-imator all those years ago, and there are so many others who feel the same way. It's mind boggling to see how far its come, how much effort, care, and love that was crammed into it. I know there were a lot of hardships and struggles, Game-Maker isn't exactly the easiest to work in, much less creating an entire animation program in. Then the decision to effectively remake the entire thing from scratch in C++, I admire the dedication to not just finish the project, but to keep motivation and focus all this time, that's crazy impressive.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you David, and thank you Nimi for the work that you both have put in. There are people here who will go on to do incredible things; and you all are the ones who enabled them to find their passion and start a life long journey.

saul goodman wtf?!? 😳

Mine-imator so good we got mine-imator 2 now. Thanks for all the years of updates nimi and david! Wouldn't be here as a modeler or animator cause of you both! Hope the both of you are happy with giving the power to everyone to make their own stories!

Amazing work to the both of you! I still remember using Mine-Imator for the first time way back during 1.1.2, 2 years-ish before I made a forums account. Mine-Imator has come a long way and has been the program that has gotten me into animation. Hope you both are happy with creating something so monumental. Mine-Imator has such an important place to many members and we thank you both for putting in the effort and creating something amazing! 

It's too bad y'all are gonna stop developing the program. I honestly hope you come back to it some day, but I understand you have more dreams to pursue. Well you pursued this project, and I'd say you did a pretty good job with it, so although you may not need it, I wish y'all luck with whatever you do next.
I trust it will be just as great.

Notes:
Development of new features has ended and only critical bugfixes will be done going forward. Future updates are not guaranteed and will be infrequent. Most AMD cards and integrated graphics cards are prone to have poor performance, artifacts, and crashes relating to high-quality rendering. If you encounter any of these issues, we recommend staying with Mine-imator 1.2.9 for your projects.
