In the field of media editing, in one embodiment, a computer-implemented method may include steps for receiving a file at a user device, the file comprising a video; presenting a representation of the video at the user device; receiving a user selection indicative of a selected portion of the video at a first time; generating a reversed video portion at the first time based on the selected portion; and generating instructions to combine the video and the reversed video portion to produce the media file. In some embodiments, the method further comprises receiving a user input at the user device, the user input indicative of playback of the selected portion of the video in a forward direction and in a reverse direction; update the reversed video portion based on the user input to yield an updated reversed video portion; and generate instructions to combine the selected portion and the updated reversed video portion to produce the media file.

A device sized and shaped for alleviating organ prolapse when inserted into a vagina, comprising: (a) an adjustably flexible, substantially planar ring; (b) a telescoping locking mechanism extending in a central axis, but within the plane of the ring, from a first side of the ring to a second side of the ring, comprising, (i) a first element extending from a side of the ring including an elastic diamond shaped snap, and, (ii) a second element extending from a second side of the ring, opposite the first element, including at least one window configured as a counterpart to the snap, wherein the device is configured to be in an expanded, treatment rendering state when the snap is released into the window and a reduced profile state when the snap is not in the window.
Disclosed are devices for supporting a prolapsed organ. An exemplary device comprises a ring-like body optionally having a naturally occurring substantially flat and substantially planar compact configuration, the ring-like body configured with a size suitable for insertion into a vagina and to be expanded by a support element such that in the expanded configuration an outer periphery of the ring-like body contacts a portion of the vagina and stretches at least a portion of a prolapsed vaginal wall, thereby substantially alleviating prolapse of at least one pelvic organ. The device optionally includes a support element comprising two moveably connected arms configured to support the ring in the expanded configuration.
