## 🎬 Video Processor Capabilities

The Video Processor v0.4.0 provides a complete multimedia processing platform with four integrated phases:

### **🤖 Phase 1: AI-Powered Content Analysis**
- Intelligent scene detection and boundary identification
- Comprehensive quality assessment (sharpness, brightness, contrast)
- Motion analysis with intensity scoring
- AI-powered thumbnail selection for optimal engagement
- 360° content intelligence with automatic detection

### **🎥 Phase 2: Next-Generation Codecs**
- **AV1 encoding** with 50% better compression than H.264
- **HEVC/H.265** support with hardware acceleration
- **HDR10 processing** with tone mapping and metadata preservation
- **Multi-color space** support (Rec.2020, P3, sRGB)
- **Two-pass optimization** for intelligent bitrate allocation

### **📡 Phase 3: Adaptive Streaming**

## 🚀 Quick Start

### **Installation**
```bash
# Install with all features
uv add video-processor[all]

# Or install specific feature sets
uv add video-processor[ai,360,streaming]
```

### **Basic Usage**
```python
from video_processor import VideoProcessor
from video_processor.config import ProcessorConfig

# Initialize with all features
config = ProcessorConfig(
    quality_preset="high",
    enable_ai_analysis=True,
    enable_360_processing=True,
    output_formats=["mp4", "av1_mp4"]
)

processor = VideoProcessor(config)

# Process any video (2D or 360°) with full analysis
result = await processor.process_video("input.mp4", "./output/")

# Automatic optimization based on content type
if result.is_360_video:
    print(f"🌐 360° {result.video_360.projection_type} processed")
else:
    print("🎥 Standard video processed with AI analysis")

print(f"Quality: {result.quality_analysis.overall_quality:.1f}/10")
```

For complete examples, see the **[Examples Documentation](examples/README.md)**.
