# Project Status

This document provides a high-level overview of the implementation status of the VideoTools project. It is intended to give users and developers a clear, at-a-glance understanding of what is complete, what is in progress, and what is planned.

## High-Level Summary

VideoTools is a modular application for video processing. While many features are planned, the current implementation is focused on a few core modules. The documentation often describes planned features, so please refer to this document for the ground truth.

## 🚨 Critical Known Issues

*   **Player Module:** The core player has fundamental A/V synchronization and frame-accurate seeking issues. This blocks the development of several planned features that depend on it (e.g., Trim, Filters). A major rework of the player is a critical priority.

## Module Implementation Status

### Core Modules

| Module  | Status                      | Notes                                                                  |
