EngineCore (new app/coreengine.{h,cpp}) owns every engine-safe part of
the old Core singleton: CoreParams, lifecycle of the engine managers,
UndoStack, tool/snapping/timecode state, locale, autorecovery, recent
projects, footage filters, clipboard, project registry, type
declarations, and the proxy toggle. UI dependencies are inverted
through hooks instead: status-bar/cache-full signals and std::function
handlers for image-sequence confirmation, footage relink, OTIO import,
project save/close and layout load (same pattern as
Config::ErrorHandler).
Core (app/) now derives from EngineCore and keeps only UI behavior:
the main window, dialogs, panel heuristics, import/export flows and
project lifecycle presentation. Its public API is unchanged (all
inherited), and Core::instance() covariantly static_casts the engine
singleton. The render worker constructs EngineCore directly, making it
the first binary that no longer needs the UI side of Core.
~25 engine call sites move from core.h to coreengine.h; a dozen more
drop a vestigial core.h include (gaining direct includes for symbols
they were borrowing transitively). Full gtest suite green (1986 tests,
0 failures).
Oak Video Editor

Roadmap
| Version | Theme | Core Deliverables | Boundary Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | Plugin Architecture Milestone | Production-ready OpenFX host support | Not about quantity of plugins, but "any OFX plugin loads without crashing" |
| 0.4 | Color, Audio & Performance | .cube/.3dl support, scopes (waveform/vectorscope/histogram), three-way color wheels, waveform auto-sync, BWF timecode sync, audio meters (LUFS/VU), proxy media workflow, hardware-accelerated export (NVENC/VideoToolbox), batch render queue |
Combines the previous 0.4-0.6 scope into one usability milestone: color workflow, audio sync, and 4K/8K performance |
| 0.5 | Animation, Tracking & Collaboration | Bézier keyframe curve editor, basic point tracking, image stabilizer, full multicam angle switching, OpenTimelineIO, EDL/XML import/export | Combines the previous 0.7-0.8 scope into one timeline/interchange milestone |
| 0.6 | Stability Milestone | Project file format freeze (backward compatibility promise), crash recovery, autosave, memory optimization | "Feature freeze" testing period before 1.0 |
| 1.0 | Production Ready | Complete documentation, installers, known issues list, community support channels | Declared "ready for serious projects" |
