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 performance and sync issues
  • Video/audio playback uses separate processes and can drift.
  • Seeking and frame pacing are not yet frame-accurate.
  • See PLAYER_PERFORMANCE_ISSUES.md for details and plan.
