4. Workflow Recipes

Named multi-step chains that apply several tools in sequence with a single command:

• YouTube Ready Export — stabilize → normalize color → loudnorm −14 LUFS → yuv420p
• Podcast Cleanup — denoise → de-ess sibilance → limit peaks → loudnorm −16 LUFS
• Cinematic Grade — vintage curves → vibrance → vignette → film grain
• Talking Head Cleanup — stabilize → denoise speech → de-ess → loudnorm −16 LUFS
• GIF Creator — trim segment → scale → optimize palette

5. Video Tools Page

For direct tool access without the AI chat, visit /video-tools. It provides four interactive panels:

• Stabilize — shakiness/smoothing/zoom sliders, runs 2-pass vid.stab
• Convert Format — dropdown of 11 output formats (mp4, mkv, webm, mov, wav, …)
• Audio Visualizer — waveform / spectrum / CQT video output
• Workflows — pick a recipe, enter file path, get a download link

Enter the file path relative to uploads/ (the filename shown after upload). A download link appears when processing completes.
