Current Limitations:
โข Online Exports: Browser memory limits restrict PNG Sequence exports (especially 4K/2K). Use lower resolutions (720p/1080p) or shorter clips online. Offline exports (`file:///`) are less restricted.
โข Mobile/Tablet: The UI is not yet fully optimized for touch devices. Video processing is disabled; image grading is available but may be slow.
โข Color Accuracy: Log, HDR, or >8-bit footage may not display or export with perfect accuracy due to browser limitations. Transcode complex footage to 8-bit Rec.709 first for best results.
โข LUT Generation: Generates standard 64x64x64 .cube LUTs based on current adjustments.
