🎬 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")
