Ryan Malloy ea94b484eb 🧹 Clean up documentation debt and repository clutter
CLEANUP ACHIEVEMENTS:
• Removed 11 redundant/obsolete documentation files
• Consolidated duplicate development summaries
• Moved test framework demo to proper tests/ location
• Updated documentation cross-references
• Cleaned root directory of standalone demo files

FILES REMOVED:
• testing_framework_integration_summary.md (redundant)
• TESTING_FRAMEWORK_SUMMARY.md (duplicate)
• demo_enhanced_dashboard.py (dev-only demo)
• enhanced_dashboard_standalone.html (standalone artifact)
• docs/user-guide/FINAL_PROJECT_SHOWCASE.md (redundant)
• docs/development/AI_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md (consolidated)
• docs/development/PHASE_2_CODECS_SUMMARY.md (consolidated)
• docs/development/PROJECT_COMPLETION_v0.4.0.md (redundant)
• conftest.py (duplicate, belongs in tests/)

IMPROVEMENTS:
• Reduced documentation files from 26 to 15 (42% reduction)
• Eliminated ~3,000 lines of duplicate content
• Cleaner root directory with only essential files
• Fixed broken documentation cross-references
• Professional repository structure for production

STRUCTURE: Clean, organized, production-ready documentation
IMPACT: Improved maintainability and developer experience

🎬 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

  • HLS & DASH adaptive streaming with multi-bitrate support
  • Smart bitrate ladders based on content analysis
  • Real-time processing with Procrastinate async tasks
  • Multi-device optimization for mobile, desktop, TV
  • Progressive upload capabilities

🌐 Phase 4: Complete 360° Video Processing

  • Multi-projection support: Equirectangular, Cubemap, EAC, Stereographic, Fisheye
  • Spatial audio processing: Ambisonic, binaural, object-based, head-locked
  • Viewport-adaptive streaming with up to 75% bandwidth savings
  • Tiled encoding for streaming only visible regions
  • Stereoscopic 3D support for immersive content

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Install with all features
uv add video-processor[all]

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

Basic Usage

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")
