Description
🧩 Problem / Workflow Gap
Zyra's current video export pipeline does not allow users to:
- Control chroma subsampling, pixel format, or color space
- Avoid Vimeo-related color shifts due to default
ffmpeg→ Vimeo transcoding behavior - Specify consistent, reproducible quality profiles (e.g., archival, web, streaming)
This limits visual fidelity and introduces downstream surprises—particularly for workflows requiring color-accurate, high-bitrate, or broadcast-compliant outputs.
✅ Proposal
We propose two complementary solutions:
1. --profile <name> (High-Level Presets)
Add support for friendly, pre-defined ffmpeg export bundles such as:
--profile sos # Stream-optimized settings
--profile archive # ProRes 422, yuv422p, high bitrate
--profile broadcast # yuv422p10le, BT.709, VBR
--profile lossless # FFV1, yuv444p, no chroma lossEach profile would configure a consistent set of ffmpeg flags (codec, pixel format, color space, container, etc.).
2. Low-Level Overrides (Passthrough Controls)
Expose advanced ffmpeg flags for granular control:
--pix-fmt yuv422p
--colorspace bt709
--color_range pc
--codec libx264
--bitrate 20M
--ffmpeg-flags "-g 30 -movflags +faststart"These can override defaults or augment profiles, enabling full reproducibility and precision.
🧪 Tests
- Validate output format and pixel structure using
ffprobe - Confirm Vimeo or third-party delivery matches expectations
- Provide example image sequences + round-trip encoding checks
📚 Documentation
Add a section to the CLI docs describing:
- Available profiles and when to use them
- Tradeoffs (quality vs. size vs. compatibility)
- How to inspect output video with
ffmpegtools
