VideoTools Roadmap

This roadmap is intentionally lightweight. It captures the next few high-priority goals without locking the project into a rigid plan.

How We Use This

• The roadmap is a short list, not a full backlog.
• Items can move between buckets as priorities change.
• We update this at the start of each dev cycle.

Current State

• dev20 focused on cleanup and the Authoring module.
• Authoring is now functional (DVD folders + ISO pipeline).

Now (dev21 focus)

• Finalize Convert module cleanup and preset behavior.
• Validate preset defaults and edge cases (aspect, bitrate, CRF).
• Tighten UI copy and error messaging for Convert/Queue.
• Add smoke tests for authoring and DVD encode workflows.

Next

• Color space preservation across Convert/Upscale.
• Merge module completion (reorder, mixed format handling).
• Filters module polish (controls + real-time preview stability).

Later

• Trim module UX and timeline tooling.
• AI frame interpolation support (model management + UI).
• Packaging polish for v0.1.1 (AppImage + Windows EXE).

Versioning Note

We keep continuous dev numbering. After v0.1.1 release, the next dev tag becomes v0.1.1-dev26 (or whatever the next number is).
