-## Why simple-ffmpeg?
-
-FFmpeg is incredibly powerful, but its command-line interface is notoriously difficult to work with programmatically. Composing even a simple two-clip video with a crossfade requires navigating complex filter graphs, input mapping, and stream labeling. simple-ffmpeg abstracts all of that behind a declarative, config-driven API. You describe _what_ your video should look like, and the library figures out _how_ to build the FFmpeg command.
-
-The entire timeline is expressed as a plain array of clip objects, making it straightforward to generate configurations from any data source: databases, APIs, templates, or AI models. Structured validation with machine-readable error codes means you can catch problems early and handle them programmatically, whether that's logging a warning, retrying with corrected input, or surfacing feedback to an end user.

-
-## Installation
+## Install
 
 ```bash
 npm install simple-ffmpegjs
 ```
 
-### Prerequisites
-
-FFmpeg must be installed and available in your PATH:
-
-```bash
-# macOS
-brew install ffmpeg
-
-# Ubuntu/Debian
-apt-get install ffmpeg
-
-# Windows
-# Download from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
-```
-
-For text overlays, ensure your FFmpeg build includes `libfreetype` and `fontconfig`. On minimal systems (Docker, Alpine), install a font package:
-
-```bash
-# Alpine
-apk add --no-cache ffmpeg fontconfig ttf-dejavu
-
-# Debian/Ubuntu
-apt-get install -y ffmpeg fontconfig fonts-dejavu-core
-```
-
-**Emoji in text overlays** are handled gracefully: by default, emoji characters are automatically detected and silently stripped from text to prevent blank boxes (tofu). To render emoji, pass an `emojiFont` path in the constructor:
-
-```javascript
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({
-  width: 1920,
-  height: 1080,
-  emojiFont: '/path/to/NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf'
-});
-```
-
-Recommended font: [Noto Emoji](https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji) (B&W outline, ~2 MB, SIL OFL). Download from [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji) or [GitHub](https://github.com/google/fonts/raw/main/ofl/notoemoji/NotoEmoji%5Bwght%5D.ttf). When an emoji font is configured, emoji text is routed through libass (ASS subtitle path) with inline `\fn` font switching for per-glyph rendering.
-
-> **Note:** Emoji render as monochrome outlines because libass does not yet support color emoji font formats. The shapes are recognizable and correctly spaced, just not multi-colored. Without `emojiFont`, emoji are stripped and a one-time console warning is logged.
+FFmpeg must be installed and available in your `PATH`.
 
-## Quick Start
+## Quick example
 
 ```js
 import SIMPLEFFMPEG from "simple-ffmpegjs";
 
-// Use a platform preset — or set width/height/fps manually
 const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({ preset: "youtube" });
 
 await project.load([
-  // Two video clips with a crossfade transition between them
-  { type: "video", url: "./opening-shot.mp4", position: 0, end: 6 },
+  { type: "video", url: "./intro.mp4", duration: 5 },
   {
     type: "video",
-    url: "./highlights.mp4",
-    position: 5.5,
-    end: 18,
-    cutFrom: 3, // start 3s into the source file
+    url: "./clip2.mp4",
+    duration: 6,
     transition: { type: "fade", duration: 0.5 },
   },
-
-  // Title card with a pop animation
   {
     type: "text",
-    text: "Summer Highlights 2025",
+    text: "Summer Highlights",
     position: 0.5,
     end: 4,
-    fontFile: "./fonts/Montserrat-Bold.ttf",
-    fontSize: 72,
-    fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    borderColor: "#000000",
-    borderWidth: 2,
-    xPercent: 0.5,
-    yPercent: 0.4,
-    animation: { type: "pop", in: 0.3 },
-  },
-
-  // Background music — loops to fill the whole video
-  { type: "music", url: "./chill-beat.mp3", volume: 0.2, loop: true },
-]);
-
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./summer-highlights.mp4",
-  onProgress: ({ percent }) => console.log(`${percent}% complete`),
-});
-```
-
-## Pre-Validation
-
-Validate clip configurations before creating a project. Useful for catching errors early in data pipelines, form-based editors, or any workflow where configurations are generated dynamically:
-
-```js
-import SIMPLEFFMPEG from "simple-ffmpegjs";
-
-const clips = [
-  { type: "video", url: "./intro.mp4", position: 0, end: 5 },
-  { type: "text", text: "Hello", position: 1, end: 4 },
-];
-
-// Validate without creating a project
-const result = SIMPLEFFMPEG.validate(clips, {
-  skipFileChecks: true, // Skip file existence checks (useful when files aren't on disk yet)
-  width: 1920, // Project dimensions (for Ken Burns size validation)
-  height: 1080,
-  strictKenBurns: false, // If true, undersized Ken Burns images error instead of warn (default: false)
-});
-
-if (!result.valid) {
-  // Structured errors for programmatic handling
-  result.errors.forEach((err) => {
-    console.log(`[${err.code}] ${err.path}: ${err.message}`);
-    // e.g. [MISSING_REQUIRED] clips[0].url: URL is required for media clips
-  });
-}
-
-// Or get human-readable output
-console.log(SIMPLEFFMPEG.formatValidationResult(result));
-```
-
-### Validation Codes
-
-Access error codes programmatically for custom handling:
-
-```js
-const { ValidationCodes } = SIMPLEFFMPEG;
-
-// Available codes:
-// INVALID_TYPE, MISSING_REQUIRED, INVALID_VALUE, INVALID_RANGE,
-// INVALID_TIMELINE, TIMELINE_GAP, FILE_NOT_FOUND, INVALID_FORMAT,
-// INVALID_WORD_TIMING, OUTSIDE_BOUNDS
-
-if (result.errors.some((e) => e.code === ValidationCodes.TIMELINE_GAP)) {
-  // Handle gap-specific logic
-}
-```
-
-## Schema Export
-
-Export a structured, human-readable description of all clip types accepted by `load()`. The output is designed to serve as context for LLMs, documentation generators, code generation tools, or anything that needs to understand the library's clip format.
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```js
-// Get the full schema (all clip types)
-const schema = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchema();
-console.log(schema);
-```
-
-The output is a formatted text document with type definitions, allowed values, usage notes, and examples for each clip type.
-
-### Filtering Modules
-
-The schema is broken into modules — one per clip type. You can include or exclude modules to control exactly what appears in the output:
-
-```js
-// Only include video and image clip types
-const schema = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchema({ include: ["video", "image"] });
-
-// Include everything except text and subtitle
-const schema = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchema({ exclude: ["text", "subtitle"] });
-
-// See all available module IDs
-SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchemaModules();
-// ['video', 'audio', 'image', 'color', 'effect', 'text', 'subtitle', 'music']
-```
-
-Available modules:
-
-| Module     | Covers                                                      |
-| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `video`    | Video clips, transitions, volume, trimming                  |
-| `audio`    | Standalone audio clips                                      |
-| `image`    | Image clips, Ken Burns effects, image fitting modes         |
-| `color`    | Color clips — flat colors, linear/radial gradients          |
-| `effect`   | Overlay adjustment effects — vignette, grain, blur, color adjust, sepia, B&W, sharpen, chromatic aberration, letterbox |
-| `text`     | Text overlays — all modes, animations, positioning, styling |
-| `subtitle` | Subtitle file import (SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA)                   |
-| `music`    | Background music / background audio, looping                |
-
-### Custom Instructions
-
-Embed your own instructions directly into the schema output. Top-level instructions appear at the beginning, and per-module instructions are placed inside the relevant section — formatted identically to the built-in notes:
-
-```js
-const schema = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchema({
-  include: ["video", "image", "music"],
-  instructions: [
-    "You are creating short cooking tutorials for TikTok.",
-    "Keep all videos under 30 seconds.",
-  ],
-  moduleInstructions: {
-    video: [
-      "Always use fade transitions at 0.5s.",
-      "Limit to 5 clips maximum.",
-    ],
-    music: "Always include background music at volume 0.15.",
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Both `instructions` and `moduleInstructions` values accept a `string` or `string[]`. Per-module instructions for excluded modules are silently ignored.
-
-## API Reference
-
-### Constructor
-
-```ts
-new SIMPLEFFMPEG(options?: {
-  width?: number;           // Output width (default: 1920)
-  height?: number;          // Output height (default: 1080)
-  fps?: number;             // Frame rate (default: 30)
-  validationMode?: 'warn' | 'strict';  // Validation behavior (default: 'warn')
-  preset?: string;          // Platform preset (e.g., 'tiktok', 'youtube', 'instagram-post')
-  fontFile?: string;        // Default font file for all text clips (individual clips can override)
-  emojiFont?: string;       // Path to emoji font .ttf for opt-in emoji rendering (stripped by default)
-  tempDir?: string;         // Custom temp directory for intermediate files (default: OS temp)
-})
-```
-
-**Custom Temp Directory:**
-
-Set `tempDir` to route all temporary files (gradient images, unrotated videos, text/subtitle temp files, batch intermediate renders) to a custom location. Useful for fast SSDs, ramdisks, Docker containers with limited `/tmp`, or any environment where temp storage performance matters:
-
-```ts
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({
-  preset: "youtube",
-  tempDir: "/mnt/fast-nvme/tmp",
-});
-```
-
-When not set, temp files go to the OS default (`os.tmpdir()`) or next to the output file, depending on the operation. Cross-filesystem moves are handled automatically.
-
-When `fontFile` is set at the project level, every text clip (including karaoke) inherits it automatically. You can still override it on any individual clip:
-
-```js
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({
-  preset: "tiktok",
-  fontFile: "./fonts/Montserrat-Bold.ttf",   // applies to all text clips
-});
-
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "intro.mp4", position: 0, end: 10 },
-  // Uses the global font
-  { type: "text", text: "Hello!", position: 1, end: 4, fontSize: 72 },
-  // Overrides with a different font
-  { type: "text", text: "Special", position: 5, end: 8, fontFile: "./fonts/Italic.otf" },
-]);
-```
-
-### Methods
-
-#### `project.load(clips)`
-
-Load clip descriptors into the project. Validates the timeline and reads media metadata.
-
-```ts
-await project.load(clips: Clip[]): Promise<void[]>
-```
-
-#### `SIMPLEFFMPEG.getDuration(clips)`
-
-Calculate the total visual timeline duration from a clips array. Handles `duration` and auto-sequencing shorthand, and subtracts transition overlaps. Pure function — no file I/O.
-
-```ts
-const clips = [
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", duration: 5 },
-  {
-    type: "video",
-    url: "./b.mp4",
-    duration: 10,
-    transition: { type: "fade", duration: 0.5 },
-  },
-];
-SIMPLEFFMPEG.getDuration(clips); // 14.5
-```
-
-Useful for computing text overlay timings or background music end times before calling `load()`.
-
-#### `SIMPLEFFMPEG.probe(filePath)`
-
-Probe a media file and return comprehensive metadata using ffprobe. Works with video, audio, and image files.
-
-```ts
-const info = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.probe("./video.mp4");
-// {
-//   duration: 30.5,         // seconds
-//   width: 1920,            // pixels
-//   height: 1080,           // pixels
-//   hasVideo: true,
-//   hasAudio: true,
-//   rotation: 0,            // iPhone/mobile rotation
-//   videoCodec: "h264",
-//   audioCodec: "aac",
-//   format: "mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2",
-//   fps: 30,
-//   size: 15728640,         // bytes
-//   bitrate: 4125000,       // bits/sec
-//   sampleRate: 48000,      // Hz
-//   channels: 2             // stereo
-// }
-```
-
-Fields that don't apply to the file type are `null` (e.g. `width`/`height`/`videoCodec`/`fps` for audio-only files, `audioCodec`/`sampleRate`/`channels` for video-only files).
-
-Throws `MediaNotFoundError` if the file cannot be found or probed.
-
-```ts
-// Audio file
-const audio = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.probe("./music.wav");
-console.log(audio.hasVideo); // false
-console.log(audio.duration); // 180.5
-console.log(audio.sampleRate); // 44100
-```
-
-#### `SIMPLEFFMPEG.snapshot(filePath, options)`
-
-Capture a single frame from a video file and save it as an image. This is a static method — no project instance needed.
-
-The output format is determined by the `outputPath` file extension. FFmpeg handles format detection internally, so `.jpg` produces JPEG, `.png` produces PNG, `.webp` produces WebP, etc.
-
-```ts
-await SIMPLEFFMPEG.snapshot("./video.mp4", {
-  outputPath: "./frame.png",
-  time: 5,
-});
-```
-
-**Snapshot Options:**
-
-| Option       | Type     | Default | Description                                                                |
-| ------------ | -------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `outputPath` | `string` | -       | **Required.** Output image path (extension determines format)              |
-| `time`       | `number` | `0`     | Time in seconds to capture the frame at                                    |
-| `width`      | `number` | -       | Output width in pixels (maintains aspect ratio if height omitted)          |
-| `height`     | `number` | -       | Output height in pixels (maintains aspect ratio if width omitted)          |
-| `quality`    | `number` | `2`     | JPEG quality 1-31, lower is better (only applies to `.jpg`/`.jpeg` output) |
-
-**Supported formats:** `.jpg` / `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.webp`, `.bmp`, `.tiff`
-
-```ts
-// Save as JPEG with quality control and resize
-await SIMPLEFFMPEG.snapshot("./video.mp4", {
-  outputPath: "./thumb.jpg",
-  time: 10,
-  width: 640,
-  quality: 4,
-});
-
-// Save as WebP
-await SIMPLEFFMPEG.snapshot("./video.mp4", {
-  outputPath: "./preview.webp",
-  time: 0,
-});
-```
-
-#### `SIMPLEFFMPEG.extractKeyframes(filePath, options)`
-
-Extract keyframes from a video using scene-change detection or fixed time intervals. This is a static method — no project instance needed.
-
-**Scene-change mode** (default) uses FFmpeg's `select=gt(scene,N)` filter to intelligently detect visual transitions and extract frames at cut points. **Interval mode** extracts frames at fixed time intervals.
-
-When `outputDir` is provided, frames are written to disk and the method returns an array of file paths. Without `outputDir`, frames are returned as in-memory `Buffer` objects (no temp files left behind).
-
-```ts
-// Scene-change detection — returns Buffer[]
-const frames = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.extractKeyframes("./video.mp4", {
-  mode: "scene-change",
-  sceneThreshold: 0.4,
-  maxFrames: 8,
-  format: "jpeg",
-});
-
-// Fixed interval — writes to disk, returns string[]
-const paths = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.extractKeyframes("./video.mp4", {
-  mode: "interval",
-  intervalSeconds: 5,
-  outputDir: "./frames/",
-  format: "png",
-});
-```
-
-**Keyframe Options:**
-
-| Option            | Type     | Default          | Description                                                                     |
-| ----------------- | -------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `mode`            | `string` | `'scene-change'` | `'scene-change'` for intelligent detection, `'interval'` for fixed time spacing |
-| `sceneThreshold`  | `number` | `0.3`            | Scene detection sensitivity 0-1 (lower = more frames). Scene-change mode only.  |
-| `intervalSeconds` | `number` | `5`              | Seconds between frames. Interval mode only.                                     |
-| `maxFrames`       | `number` | -                | Maximum number of frames to extract                                             |
-| `format`          | `string` | `'jpeg'`         | Output format: `'jpeg'` or `'png'`                                              |
-| `quality`         | `number` | -                | JPEG quality 1-31, lower is better (only applies to JPEG)                       |
-| `width`           | `number` | -                | Output width in pixels (maintains aspect ratio if height omitted)               |
-| `height`          | `number` | -                | Output height in pixels (maintains aspect ratio if width omitted)               |
-| `outputDir`       | `string` | -                | Directory to write frames to. If omitted, returns `Buffer[]` instead.           |
-| `tempDir`         | `string` | `os.tmpdir()`    | Custom temp directory (only when `outputDir` is not set). Useful for fast SSDs or ramdisks. |
-
-```ts
-// Scene-change with resize and JPEG quality
-const frames = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.extractKeyframes("./long-video.mp4", {
-  sceneThreshold: 0.25,
-  maxFrames: 12,
-  width: 640,
-  quality: 4,
-});
-
-// One frame every 10 seconds, saved as PNG
-const paths = await SIMPLEFFMPEG.extractKeyframes("./presentation.mp4", {
-  mode: "interval",
-  intervalSeconds: 10,
-  outputDir: "./thumbnails/",
-  format: "png",
-});
-```
-
-Throws `FFmpegError` if FFmpeg fails during extraction.
-
-#### `project.export(options)`
-
-Build and execute the FFmpeg command to render the final video.
-
-```ts
-await project.export(options?: ExportOptions): Promise<string>
-```
-
-**Export Options:**
-
-| Option                  | Type          | Default          | Description                                                                      |

-
-#### `project.preview(options)`
-
-Get the FFmpeg command without executing it. Useful for debugging or dry runs.
-
-```ts
-await project.preview(options?: ExportOptions): Promise<{
-  command: string;        // Full FFmpeg command
-  filterComplex: string;  // Filter graph
-  totalDuration: number;  // Expected output duration
-}>
-```
-
-### Auto-Sequencing & Duration Shorthand
-
-For video, image, and audio clips, you can use shorthand to avoid specifying explicit `position` and `end` values:
-
-- **`duration`** — Use instead of `end`. The library computes `end = position + duration`. You cannot specify both `duration` and `end` on the same clip.
-- **Omit `position`** — The clip is placed immediately after the previous clip on its track. Video and image clips share the visual track; audio clips have their own track. The first clip defaults to `position: 0`.
-
-These can be combined:
-
-```ts
-// Before: manual position/end for every clip
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", position: 0, end: 5 },
-  { type: "video", url: "./b.mp4", position: 5, end: 10 },
-  { type: "video", url: "./c.mp4", position: 10, end: 18, cutFrom: 3 },
-]);
-
-// After: auto-sequencing + duration
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", duration: 5 },
-  { type: "video", url: "./b.mp4", duration: 5 },
-  { type: "video", url: "./c.mp4", duration: 8, cutFrom: 3 },
-]);
-```
-
-You can mix explicit and implicit positioning freely. Clips with explicit `position` are placed there; subsequent auto-sequenced clips follow from the last clip's end:
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", duration: 5 }, // position: 0, end: 5
-  { type: "video", url: "./b.mp4", position: 10, end: 15 }, // explicit gap
-  { type: "video", url: "./c.mp4", duration: 5 }, // position: 15, end: 20
-]);
-```
-
-Text clips always require an explicit `position` (they're overlays on specific moments). Background music and subtitle clips already have optional `position`/`end` with their own defaults.
-
-### Clip Types
-
-#### Video Clip
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "video";
-  url: string;              // File path
-  position?: number;        // Timeline start (seconds). Omit to auto-sequence after previous clip.
-  end?: number;             // Timeline end (seconds). Use end OR duration, not both.
-  duration?: number;        // Duration in seconds (alternative to end). end = position + duration.
-  cutFrom?: number;         // Source offset (default: 0)
-  volume?: number;          // Audio volume (default: 1)
-  transition?: {
-    type: string;           // Any xfade transition (e.g., 'fade', 'wipeleft', 'dissolve')
-    duration: number;       // Transition duration in seconds
-  };
-}
-```
-
-All [xfade transitions](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Xfade) are supported.
-
-#### Image Clip
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "image";
-  url: string;
-  position?: number;        // Omit to auto-sequence after previous video/image clip
-  end?: number;             // Use end OR duration, not both
-  duration?: number;        // Duration in seconds (alternative to end)
-  width?: number;           // Optional: source image width (skip probe / override)
-  height?: number;          // Optional: source image height (skip probe / override)
-  imageFit?: "cover" | "contain" | "blur-fill";  // How to handle aspect ratio mismatch (see below)
-  blurIntensity?: number;   // Blur strength for blur-fill background (default: 40, range: 10-80)
-  kenBurns?:
-    | "zoom-in" | "zoom-out" | "pan-left" | "pan-right" | "pan-up" | "pan-down"
-    | "smart" | "custom"
-    | {
-        type?: "zoom-in" | "zoom-out" | "pan-left" | "pan-right" | "pan-up" | "pan-down" | "smart" | "custom";
-        startZoom?: number;
-        endZoom?: number;
-        startX?: number;     // 0 = left, 1 = right
-        startY?: number;     // 0 = top, 1 = bottom
-        endX?: number;
-        endY?: number;
-        anchor?: "top" | "bottom" | "left" | "right";
-        easing?: "linear" | "ease-in" | "ease-out" | "ease-in-out";
-      };
-}
-```
-
-**Image Fitting (`imageFit`):**
-
-When an image's aspect ratio doesn't match the output (e.g., a landscape photo in a portrait video), `imageFit` controls how the mismatch is resolved:
-
-| Mode | Behavior | Default for |
-|---|---|---|
-| `blur-fill` | Scale to fit, fill empty space with a blurred version of the image | Static images (no Ken Burns) |
-| `cover` | Scale to fill the entire frame, center-crop any excess | Ken Burns images |
-| `contain` | Scale to fit within the frame, pad with black bars | — |
-
-If `imageFit` is not specified, the library picks the best default: **`blur-fill`** for static images (produces polished output similar to TikTok/Reels) and **`cover`** for Ken Burns images (ensures full-frame cinematic motion).
-
-```ts
-// Landscape photo in a portrait video — blurred background fills the bars (default)
-{ type: "image", url: "./landscape.jpg", duration: 5 }
-
-// Explicit cover — crops to fill the frame
-{ type: "image", url: "./landscape.jpg", duration: 5, imageFit: "cover" }
-
-// Black bars (letterbox/pillarbox)
-{ type: "image", url: "./landscape.jpg", duration: 5, imageFit: "contain" }
-
-// Stronger blur effect
-{ type: "image", url: "./landscape.jpg", duration: 5, imageFit: "blur-fill", blurIntensity: 70 }
-```
-
-**Ken Burns + imageFit:** When using Ken Burns with `blur-fill` or `contain`, the pan/zoom motion applies only to the image content — the blurred background or black bars remain static, matching the behavior of modern phone video editors. Source dimensions (`width`/`height`) are required for KB + `blur-fill`/`contain`; without them it falls back to `cover`.
-
-```ts
-// Ken Burns zoom on contained image with blurred background
-{
-  type: "image",
-  url: "./landscape.jpg",
-  duration: 5,
-  width: 1920,
-  height: 1080,
-  kenBurns: "zoom-in",
-  imageFit: "blur-fill",
-}
-
-// Ken Burns pan with black bars
-{
-  type: "image",
-  url: "./landscape.jpg",
-  duration: 5,
-  width: 1920,
-  height: 1080,
-  kenBurns: "pan-right",
-  imageFit: "contain",
-}
-```
-
-#### Color Clip
-
-Color clips add flat colors or gradients as first-class visual elements. They support transitions, text overlays, and all the same timeline features as video and image clips. Use them for intros, outros, title cards, or anywhere you need a background.
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "color";
-  color: string | {                // Flat color string or gradient spec
-    type: "linear-gradient" | "radial-gradient";
-    colors: string[];              // 2+ color stops (named, hex, or 0x hex)
-    direction?: "vertical" | "horizontal";  // For linear gradients (default: "vertical")
-  };
-  position?: number;               // Timeline start (seconds). Omit to auto-sequence.
-  end?: number;                    // Timeline end. Use end OR duration, not both.
-  duration?: number;               // Duration in seconds (alternative to end).
-  transition?: {
-    type: string;                  // Any xfade transition (e.g., 'fade', 'wipeleft')
-    duration: number;
-  };
-}
-```
-
-`color` accepts any valid FFmpeg color name or hex code:
-
-```ts
-{ type: "color", color: "navy", position: 0, end: 3 }
-{ type: "color", color: "#1a1a2e", position: 0, end: 3 }
-```
-
-**Gradients:**
-
-```ts
-// Linear gradient (vertical by default)
-{
-  type: "color",
-  color: { type: "linear-gradient", colors: ["#0a0a2e", "#4a148c"] },
-  position: 0,
-  end: 4,
-}
-
-// Horizontal linear gradient
-{
-  type: "color",
-  color: { type: "linear-gradient", colors: ["#e74c3c", "#f1c40f", "#2ecc71"], direction: "horizontal" },
-  position: 0,
-  end: 4,
-}
-
-// Radial gradient
-{
-  type: "color",
-  color: { type: "radial-gradient", colors: ["#ff8c00", "#1a0000"] },
-  position: 0,
-  end: 3,
-}
-```
-
-**With transitions:**
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "color", color: "black", position: 0, end: 3 },
-  {
-    type: "video",
-    url: "./main.mp4",
-    position: 3,
-    end: 8,
-    transition: { type: "fade", duration: 0.5 },
-  },
-  {
-    type: "color",
-    color: { type: "radial-gradient", colors: ["#2c3e50", "#000000"] },
-    position: 8,
-    end: 11,
-    transition: { type: "fade", duration: 0.5 },
-  },
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "The End",
-    position: 8.5,
-    end: 10.5,
     fontSize: 64,
-    fontColor: "white",
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-> **Note:** Timeline gaps (periods with no visual content) always produce a validation error. If a gap is intentional, fill it with a `type: "color"` clip or adjust your clip positions to close the gap.
-
-#### Effect Clip
-
-Effects are overlay adjustment layers. They apply to the already-composed video
-for a time window, and can ramp in/out smoothly (instead of appearing instantly):
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "effect";
-  effect: EffectName;         // See table below
-  position: number;           // Required timeline start (seconds)
-  end?: number;               // Use end OR duration, not both
-  duration?: number;          // Duration in seconds (alternative to end)
-  fadeIn?: number;            // Optional smooth ramp-in (seconds)
-  fadeOut?: number;           // Optional smooth ramp-out (seconds)
-  params: EffectParams;       // Effect-specific parameters (see table below)
-}
-```
-
-All effects accept `params.amount` (0-1, default 1) to control the blend intensity. Additional per-effect parameters:
-
-| Effect | Description | Extra Params |
-|---|---|---|
-| `vignette` | Darkened edges | `angle`: radians (default: PI/5) |
-| `filmGrain` | Noise overlay | `strength`: noise intensity 0-1 (default: 0.35), `temporal`: boolean (default: true) |
-| `gaussianBlur` | Gaussian blur | `sigma`: blur radius (default derived from amount) |
-| `colorAdjust` | Color grading | `brightness`: -1..1, `contrast`: 0..3, `saturation`: 0..3, `gamma`: 0.1..10 |
-| `sepia` | Warm vintage tone | — |
-| `blackAndWhite` | Desaturate to grayscale | `contrast`: boost 0-3 (default: 1) |
-| `sharpen` | Sharpen detail | `strength`: unsharp amount 0-3 (default: 1) |
-| `chromaticAberration` | RGB channel split | `shift`: pixel offset 0-20 (default: 4) |
-| `letterbox` | Cinematic bars | `size`: bar height as fraction of frame 0-0.5 (default: 0.12), `color`: string (default: "black") |
-
-#### Text Clip
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "text";
-  position: number;
-  end?: number;             // Use end OR duration, not both
-  duration?: number;        // Duration in seconds (alternative to end)
-
-  // Content
-  text?: string;
-  mode?: "static" | "word-replace" | "word-sequential" | "karaoke";
-  words?: Array<{ text: string; start: number; end: number }>;
-  wordTimestamps?: number[];
-
-  // Styling
-  fontFile?: string;        // Custom font file path
-  fontFamily?: string;      // System font (default: 'Sans')
-  fontSize?: number;        // default: 48
-  fontColor?: string;       // default: '#FFFFFF'
-  borderColor?: string;
-  borderWidth?: number;
-  shadowColor?: string;
-  shadowX?: number;
-  shadowY?: number;
-
-  // Positioning (omit x/y to center)
-  xPercent?: number;        // Horizontal position as % (0 = left, 0.5 = center, 1 = right)
-  yPercent?: number;        // Vertical position as % (0 = top, 0.5 = center, 1 = bottom)
-  x?: number;               // Absolute X position in pixels
-  y?: number;               // Absolute Y position in pixels
-  xOffset?: number;         // Pixel offset added to X (works with any positioning method)
-  yOffset?: number;         // Pixel offset added to Y (e.g., center + 50px below)
-
-  // Animation
-  animation?: {
-    type: "none" | "fade-in" | "fade-in-out" | "fade-out" | "pop" | "pop-bounce"
-        | "typewriter" | "scale-in" | "pulse";
-    in?: number;            // Intro duration (seconds)
-    out?: number;           // Outro duration (seconds)
-    speed?: number;         // For typewriter (chars/sec) or pulse (pulses/sec)
-    intensity?: number;     // For scale-in or pulse (size variation 0-1)
-  };
-
-  highlightColor?: string;  // For karaoke mode (default: '#FFFF00')
-  highlightStyle?: "smooth" | "instant";  // 'smooth' = gradual fill, 'instant' = immediate change (default: 'smooth')
-}
-```
-
-#### Subtitle Clip
-
-Import external subtitle files (SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA):
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "subtitle";
-  url: string;              // Path to subtitle file
-  position?: number;        // Time offset in seconds (default: 0)
-
-  // Styling (for SRT/VTT - ASS files use their own styles)
-  fontFamily?: string;
-  fontSize?: number;
-  fontColor?: string;
-  borderColor?: string;
-  borderWidth?: number;
-  opacity?: number;
-}
-```
-
-#### Audio Clip
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "audio";
-  url: string;
-  position?: number;        // Omit to auto-sequence after previous audio clip
-  end?: number;             // Use end OR duration, not both
-  duration?: number;        // Duration in seconds (alternative to end)
-  cutFrom?: number;
-  volume?: number;
-}
-```
-
-#### Background Music
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "music";            // or "backgroundAudio"
-  url: string;
-  position?: number;        // default: 0
-  end?: number;             // default: project duration
-  cutFrom?: number;
-  volume?: number;          // default: 0.2
-  loop?: boolean;           // Loop audio to fill video duration
-}
-```
-
-Background music is mixed after transitions, so video crossfades won't affect its volume.
-
-**Looping Music:**
-
-If your music track is shorter than your video, enable looping:
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./video.mp4", position: 0, end: 120 },
-  { type: "music", url: "./30s-track.mp3", volume: 0.3, loop: true },
-]);
-```
-
-### Platform Presets
-
-Use platform presets to quickly configure optimal dimensions for social media:
-
-```ts
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({ preset: "tiktok" });
-```
-
-Available presets:
-
-| Preset               | Resolution  | Aspect Ratio | Use Case                |
-| -------------------- | ----------- | ------------ | ----------------------- |
-| `tiktok`             | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16         | TikTok, vertical videos |

-
-Override preset values with explicit options:
-
-```ts
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({
-  preset: "tiktok",
-  fps: 60, // Override default 30fps
-});
-```
-
-Query available presets programmatically:
-
-```ts
-SIMPLEFFMPEG.getPresetNames(); // ['tiktok', 'youtube-short', ...]
-SIMPLEFFMPEG.getPresets(); // { tiktok: { width: 1080, height: 1920, fps: 30 }, ... }
-```
-
-### Watermarks
-
-Add text or image watermarks to your videos:
-
-**Text Watermark:**
-
-```ts
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  watermark: {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "@myhandle",
-    position: "bottom-right", // 'top-left', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', 'bottom-right', 'center'
-    fontSize: 24,
-    fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    opacity: 0.7,
-    margin: 20,
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**Image Watermark:**
-
-```ts
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  watermark: {
-    type: "image",
-    url: "./logo.png",
-    position: "top-right",
-    opacity: 0.8,
-    scale: 0.5, // Scale to 50% of original size
-    margin: 15,
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**Timed Watermark:**
-
-```ts
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  watermark: {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "Limited Time!",
-    position: "top-left",
-    startTime: 5, // Appear at 5 seconds
-    endTime: 15, // Disappear at 15 seconds
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**Custom Position:**
-
-```ts
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  watermark: {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "Custom",
-    x: 100, // Exact X position in pixels
-    y: 50, // Exact Y position in pixels
-  },
-});
-```
-
-### Progress Information
-
-The `onProgress` callback receives:
-
-```ts
-{
-  percent?: number;         // 0-100
-  phase?: string;           // "rendering" or "batching"
-  timeProcessed?: number;   // Seconds processed
-  frame?: number;           // Current frame
-  fps?: number;             // Processing speed
-  speed?: number;           // Multiplier (e.g., 2.0 = 2x realtime)
-}
-```
-
-The `phase` field indicates what the export is doing:
-
-- `"rendering"` — main video export (includes `percent`, `frame`, etc.)
-- `"batching"` — text overlay passes are running (fired once when batching starts)
-
-Use `phase` to update your UI when the export hits 100% but still has work to do:
-
-```ts
-onProgress: ({ percent, phase }) => {
-  if (phase === "batching") {
-    console.log("Applying text overlays...");
-  } else {
-    console.log(`${percent}%`);
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Logging
-
-Use the `onLog` callback to receive real-time FFmpeg output. Each log entry includes a `level` (`"stderr"` or `"stdout"`) and the raw `message` string. This is useful for debugging, monitoring, or piping FFmpeg output to your own logging system.
-
-```ts
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  onLog: ({ level, message }) => {
-    console.log(`[ffmpeg:${level}] ${message}`);
-  },
-});
-```
-
-The callback fires for every data chunk FFmpeg writes, including encoding stats, warnings, and codec information. It works alongside `onProgress` — both can be used simultaneously.
-
-### Error Handling
-
-The library provides custom error classes for structured error handling:
-
-| Error Class            | When Thrown                | Properties                                                                  |
-| ---------------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `ValidationError`      | Invalid clip configuration | `errors[]`, `warnings[]` (structured issues with `code`, `path`, `message`) |
-| `FFmpegError`          | FFmpeg command fails       | `stderr`, `command`, `exitCode`, `details`                                  |
-| `MediaNotFoundError`   | File not found             | `path`                                                                      |
-| `ExportCancelledError` | Export aborted             | -                                                                           |
-
-```ts
-try {
-  await project.export({ outputPath: "./out.mp4" });
-} catch (error) {
-  if (error.name === "ValidationError") {
-    // Structured validation errors
-    error.errors.forEach((e) =>
-      console.error(`[${e.code}] ${e.path}: ${e.message}`),
-    );
-    error.warnings.forEach((w) =>
-      console.warn(`[${w.code}] ${w.path}: ${w.message}`),
-    );
-  } else if (error.name === "FFmpegError") {
-    // Structured details for bug reports (last 50 lines of stderr, command, exitCode)
-    console.error("FFmpeg failed:", error.details);
-    // { stderrTail: "...", command: "ffmpeg ...", exitCode: 1 }
-  } else if (error.name === "MediaNotFoundError") {
-    console.error("File not found:", error.path);
-  } else if (error.name === "ExportCancelledError") {
-    console.log("Export was cancelled");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Cancellation
-
-Use an `AbortController` to cancel an export in progress:
-
-```ts
-const controller = new AbortController();
-
-// Cancel after 5 seconds
-setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
-
-try {
-  await project.export({
-    outputPath: "./out.mp4",
-    signal: controller.signal,
-  });
-} catch (error) {
-  if (error.name === "ExportCancelledError") {
-    console.log("Cancelled");
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Examples
-
-### Clips & Transitions
-
-```ts
-// Two clips with a crossfade
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", position: 0, end: 5 },
-  {
-    type: "video",
-    url: "./b.mp4",
-    position: 5,
-    end: 10,
-    transition: { type: "fade", duration: 0.5 },
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-**Image slideshow with Ken Burns effects:**
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "image", url: "./photo1.jpg", duration: 3, kenBurns: "zoom-in" },
-  { type: "image", url: "./photo2.jpg", duration: 3, kenBurns: "pan-right" },
-  { type: "image", url: "./photo3.jpg", duration: 3, kenBurns: "zoom-out" },
-  { type: "music", url: "./music.mp3", volume: 0.3 },
-]);
-```
-
-**Custom Ken Burns (smart anchor + explicit endpoints):**
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  {
-    type: "image",
-    url: "./portrait.jpg",
-    duration: 5,
-    kenBurns: {
-      type: "smart",
-      anchor: "bottom",
-      startZoom: 1.05,
-      endZoom: 1.2,
-      easing: "ease-in-out",
-    },
-  },
-  {
-    type: "image",
-    url: "./wide.jpg",
-    duration: 4,
-    kenBurns: {
-      type: "custom",
-      startX: 0.15,
-      startY: 0.7,
-      endX: 0.85,
-      endY: 0.2,
-      easing: "ease-in-out",
-    },
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-When `position` is omitted, clips are placed sequentially — see [Auto-Sequencing & Duration Shorthand](#auto-sequencing--duration-shorthand) for details.
-
-> **Note:** Ken Burns effects work best with images at least as large as your output resolution. Smaller images are automatically upscaled (with a validation warning). Use `strictKenBurns: true` in validation options to enforce size requirements instead.
-> If you pass `width`/`height`, they override probed dimensions (useful for remote or generated images).
-> `smart` mode uses source vs output aspect (when known) to choose pan direction.
-> Ken Burns defaults to `imageFit: "cover"` (full-frame motion). Set `imageFit: "blur-fill"` or `"contain"` for phone-style editing where the motion applies to the contained image while the background stays static.
-
-### Text & Animations
-
-Text is centered by default. Use `xPercent`/`yPercent` for percentage positioning, `x`/`y` for pixels, or `xOffset`/`yOffset` to nudge from any base:
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./bg.mp4", position: 0, end: 10 },
-  // Title: centered, 100px above center
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "Main Title",
-    position: 0,
-    end: 5,
-    fontSize: 72,
-    yOffset: -100,
-  },
-  // Subtitle: centered, 50px below center
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "Subtitle here",
-    position: 0.5,
-    end: 5,
-    fontSize: 36,
-    yOffset: 50,
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-**Word-by-word replacement:**
-
-```ts
-{
-  type: "text",
-  mode: "word-replace",
-  text: "One Two Three Four",
-  position: 2,
-  end: 6,
-  wordTimestamps: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
-  animation: { type: "fade-in", in: 0.2 },
-  fontSize: 72,
-  fontColor: "white",
-}
-```
-
-**Typewriter, pulse, and other animations:**
-
-```ts
-// Typewriter — letters appear one at a time
-{ type: "text", text: "Appearing letter by letter...", position: 1, end: 4,
-  animation: { type: "typewriter", speed: 15 } }
-
-// Pulse — rhythmic scaling
-{ type: "text", text: "Pulsing...", position: 0.5, end: 4.5,
-  animation: { type: "pulse", speed: 2, intensity: 0.2 } }
-
-// Also available: fade-in, fade-out, fade-in-out, pop, pop-bounce, scale-in
-```
-
-**Emoji in text overlays:**
-
-Emoji characters are automatically detected. By default they are stripped from text to prevent tofu (blank boxes). To render emoji, configure an `emojiFont` path in the constructor:
-
-```ts
-// Enable emoji rendering by providing a font path
-const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({
-  width: 1920,
-  height: 1080,
-  emojiFont: "./fonts/NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf",
-});
-
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./bg.mp4", position: 0, end: 10 },
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "small dog, big heart 🐾",
-    position: 1,
-    end: 5,
-    fontSize: 48,
-    fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    yPercent: 0.5,
-  },
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    text: "Movie night! 🎬🍿✨",
-    position: 5,
-    end: 9,
-    fontSize: 48,
-    fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    animation: { type: "fade-in-out", in: 0.5, out: 0.5 },
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-> **Note:** Without `emojiFont`, emoji are silently stripped (no tofu). With `emojiFont`, emoji render as monochrome outlines via the ASS path. Supports fade animations (`fade-in`, `fade-out`, `fade-in-out`) and static text. For other animation types (`pop`, `typewriter`, etc.), emoji are stripped and a console warning is logged.
-
-### Karaoke
-
-Word-by-word highlighting with customizable colors. Use `highlightStyle: "instant"` for immediate color changes instead of the default smooth fill:
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./music-video.mp4", position: 0, end: 10 },
-  {
-    type: "text",
-    mode: "karaoke",
-    text: "Never gonna give you up",
-    position: 0,
-    end: 5,
-    words: [
-      { text: "Never", start: 0, end: 0.8 },
-      { text: "gonna", start: 0.8, end: 1.4 },
-      { text: "give", start: 1.4, end: 2.0 },
-      { text: "you", start: 2.0, end: 2.5 },
-      { text: "up", start: 2.5, end: 3.5 },
-    ],
     fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    highlightColor: "#00FF00",
-    fontSize: 52,
-    yPercent: 0.85,
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-For simple usage without explicit word timings, just provide `text` and `wordTimestamps` — the library will split on spaces. Multi-line karaoke is supported with `\n` in the text string or `lineBreak: true` in the words array.
-
-### Subtitles
-
-Import external subtitle files (SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA):
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./video.mp4", position: 0, end: 60 },
-  {
-    type: "subtitle",
-    url: "./subtitles.srt", // or .vtt, .ass, .ssa
-    fontSize: 24,
-    fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-    borderColor: "#000000",
-  },
-]);
-```
-
-Use `position` to offset all subtitle timestamps forward (e.g., `position: 2.5` delays everything by 2.5s). ASS/SSA files use their own embedded styles — font options are for SRT/VTT imports.
-
-### Export Settings
-
-```ts
-// High-quality H.265 with metadata
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  videoCodec: "libx265",
-  crf: 18,
-  preset: "slow",
-  audioCodec: "libopus",
-  audioBitrate: "256k",
-  metadata: { title: "My Video", artist: "My Name", date: "2025" },
-});
-
-// Hardware-accelerated (macOS)
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  hwaccel: "videotoolbox",
-  videoCodec: "h264_videotoolbox",
-});
-
-// Two-pass encoding for target file size
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  twoPass: true,
-  videoBitrate: "5M",
-  preset: "slow",
-});
-
-// Scale output resolution
-await project.export({ outputPath: "./720p.mp4", outputResolution: "720p" });
-
-// Audio-only export
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./audio.mp3",
-  audioOnly: true,
-  audioCodec: "libmp3lame",
-  audioBitrate: "320k",
-});
-
-// Generate thumbnail
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  thumbnail: { outputPath: "./thumb.jpg", time: 5, width: 640 },
-});
-
-// Debug — save the FFmpeg command to a file
-await project.export({
-  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
-  verbose: true,
-  saveCommand: "./ffmpeg-command.txt",
-});
-```
-
-## Advanced
-
-### Timeline Behavior
-
-- Clip timing uses `[position, end)` intervals in seconds
-- Transitions create overlaps that reduce total duration
-- Background music is mixed after video transitions (unaffected by crossfades)
-
-**Transition Compensation:**
-
-FFmpeg's `xfade` transitions **overlap** clips, compressing the timeline. A 1s fade between two 10s clips produces 19s of output, not 20s. With multiple transitions this compounds.
-
-By default, simple-ffmpeg automatically adjusts text and subtitle timings to compensate. When you position text at "15s", it appears at the visual 15s mark regardless of how many transitions preceded it:
-
-```ts
-await project.load([
-  { type: "video", url: "./a.mp4", position: 0, end: 10 },
-  {
-    type: "video",
-    url: "./b.mp4",
-    position: 10,
-    end: 20,
-    transition: { type: "fade", duration: 1 },
-  },
-  { type: "text", text: "Appears at 15s visual", position: 15, end: 18 },
-]);
-```
-
-Disable with `compensateTransitions: false` in export options if you've pre-calculated offsets yourself.
-
-### Auto-Batching
-
-FFmpeg's `filter_complex` has platform-specific length limits (Windows ~32KB, macOS ~1MB, Linux ~2MB). When text animations create many filter nodes, the command can exceed these limits.
-
-simple-ffmpeg handles this automatically — detecting oversized filter graphs and splitting text overlays into multiple rendering passes with intermediate files. No configuration needed.
-
-For very complex projects, you can tune it:
-
-```js
-await project.export({
-  textMaxNodesPerPass: 30, // default: 75
-  intermediateVideoCodec: "libx264", // default
-  intermediateCrf: 18, // default (high quality)
-  intermediatePreset: "veryfast", // default (fast encoding)
-});
-```
-
-Batching activates for typewriter animations with long text, many simultaneous text overlays, or complex animation combinations. With `verbose: true`, you'll see when it kicks in.
-
-## Real-World Usage Patterns
-
-### Data Pipeline Example
-
-Generate videos programmatically from structured data — database records, API responses, CMS content, etc. This example creates property tour videos from real estate listings:
-
-```js
-import SIMPLEFFMPEG from "simple-ffmpegjs";
-
-const listings = await db.getActiveListings(); // your data source
-
-async function generateListingVideo(listing, outputPath) {
-  const photos = listing.photos; // ['kitchen.jpg', 'living-room.jpg', ...]
-  const slideDuration = 4;
-
-  // Build an image slideshow from listing photos (auto-sequenced with crossfades)
-  const transitionDuration = 0.5;
-  const photoClips = photos.map((photo, i) => ({
-    type: "image",
-    url: photo,
-    duration: slideDuration,
-    kenBurns: i % 2 === 0 ? "zoom-in" : "pan-right",
-    ...(i > 0 && {
-      transition: { type: "fade", duration: transitionDuration },
-    }),
-  }));
-
-  const totalDuration = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getDuration(photoClips);
-
-  const clips = [
-    ...photoClips,
-    // Price banner
-    {
-      type: "text",
-      text: listing.price,
-      position: 0.5,
-      end: totalDuration - 0.5,
-      fontSize: 36,
-      fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-      backgroundColor: "#000000",
-      backgroundOpacity: 0.6,
-      padding: 12,
-      xPercent: 0.5,
-      yPercent: 0.1,
-    },
-    // Address at the bottom
-    {
-      type: "text",
-      text: listing.address,
-      position: 0.5,
-      end: totalDuration - 0.5,
-      fontSize: 28,
-      fontColor: "#FFFFFF",
-      borderColor: "#000000",
-      borderWidth: 2,
-      xPercent: 0.5,
-      yPercent: 0.9,
-    },
-    { type: "music", url: "./assets/ambient.mp3", volume: 0.15, loop: true },
-  ];
-
-  const project = new SIMPLEFFMPEG({ preset: "instagram-reel" });
-  await project.load(clips);
-  return project.export({ outputPath });
-}
-
-// Batch generate videos for all listings
-for (const listing of listings) {
-  await generateListingVideo(listing, `./output/${listing.id}.mp4`);
-}
-```
-
-### AI Video Generation Pipeline Example
-
-Combine schema export, validation, and structured error codes to build a complete AI-driven video generation pipeline. The schema gives the model the exact specification it needs, and the validation loop lets it self-correct until the output is valid.
-
-```js
-import SIMPLEFFMPEG from "simple-ffmpegjs";
-
-// 1. Build the schema context for the AI
-// Only expose the clip types you want the AI to work with.
-// Developer-level config (codecs, resolution, etc.) stays out of the schema.
-
-const schema = SIMPLEFFMPEG.getSchema({
-  include: ["video", "image", "text", "music"],
-  instructions: [
-    "You are composing a short-form video for TikTok.",
-    "Keep total duration under 30 seconds.",
-    "Return ONLY valid JSON — an array of clip objects.",
-  ],
-  moduleInstructions: {
-    video: "Use fade transitions between clips. Keep each clip 3-6 seconds.",
-    text: [
-      "Add a title in the first 2 seconds with fontSize 72.",
-      "Use white text with a black border for readability.",
-    ],
-    music: "Always include looping background music at volume 0.15.",
-  },
-});
-
-// 2. Send the schema + prompt to your LLM
-
-async function askAI(systemPrompt, userPrompt) {
-  // Replace with your LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
-  const response = await llm.chat({
-    messages: [
-      { role: "system", content: systemPrompt },
-      { role: "user", content: userPrompt },
-    ],
-  });
-  return JSON.parse(response.content);
-}
-
-// 3. Generate → Validate → Retry loop
-
-async function generateVideo(userPrompt, media) {
-  // Build the system prompt with schema + available media and their details.
-  // Descriptions and durations help the AI make good creative decisions —
-  // ordering clips logically, setting accurate position/end times, etc.
-  const mediaList = media
-    .map((m) => `  - ${m.file} (${m.duration}s) — ${m.description}`)
-    .join("\n");
-
-  const systemPrompt = [
-    "You are a video editor. Given the user's request and the available media,",
-    "produce a clips array that follows this schema:\n",
-    schema,
-    "\nAvailable media (use these exact file paths):",
-    mediaList,
-  ].join("\n");
-
-  const knownPaths = media.map((m) => m.file);
-
-  // First attempt
-  let clips = await askAI(systemPrompt, userPrompt);
-  let result = SIMPLEFFMPEG.validate(clips, { skipFileChecks: true });

-The key parts of this pattern:
-
-1. **`getSchema()`** gives the AI a precise specification of what it can produce, with only the clip types you've chosen to expose.
-2. **`instructions` / `moduleInstructions`** embed your creative constraints directly into the spec — the AI treats them the same as built-in rules.
-3. **Media descriptions** with durations and content details give the AI enough context to make good creative decisions — ordering clips logically, setting accurate timings, and choosing the right media for each part of the video.
-4. **`validate()`** with `skipFileChecks: true` checks structural correctness in the retry loop — types, timelines, required fields — without touching the filesystem.
-5. **The retry loop** lets the AI self-correct. Most validation failures resolve in one retry.
-6. **The path guard** catches hallucinated file paths before `load()` hits the filesystem. You can optionally move this check inside the retry loop to let the AI self-correct bad paths. `load()` itself will also throw `MediaNotFoundError` if a file is missing on disk.

-## Testing
-
-### Automated Tests
-
-The library includes comprehensive unit and integration tests using Vitest:
-
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-npm test
 
-# Run unit tests only
-npm run test:unit
-
-# Run integration tests only
-npm run test:integration
-
-# Run with watch mode
-npm run test:watch
-```
-
-### Manual Verification
-
-For visual verification, run the demo suite to generate sample videos covering all major features. Each demo outputs to its own subfolder under `examples/output/` and includes annotated expected timelines so you know exactly what to look for:
-
-```bash
-# Run all demos (color clips, effects, transitions, text, emoji, Ken Burns, audio, watermarks, karaoke, torture test)
-node examples/run-examples.js
-
-# Run a specific demo by name (partial match)
-node examples/run-examples.js transitions
-node examples/run-examples.js torture ken
+await project.export({ outputPath: "./output.mp4" });
 ```
 
-Available demo scripts (can also be run individually):
-
-| Script                          | What it tests                                                                          |
-| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `demo-color-clips.js`           | Flat colors, linear/radial gradients, transitions, full composition with color clips   |
-| `demo-effects.js`               | Timed overlay effects (all 9 effects) with smooth fade ramps                           |
-| `demo-transitions.js`           | Fade, wipe, slide, dissolve, fadeblack/white, short/long durations, image transitions  |
-| `demo-text-and-animations.js`   | Positioning, fade, pop, pop-bounce, typewriter, scale-in, pulse, styling, word-replace |
-| `demo-emoji-text.js`            | Emoji stripping (default) and opt-in rendering via emojiFont, fade, styling, fallback |
-| `demo-ken-burns.js`             | All 6 presets, smart anchors, custom diagonal, slideshow with transitions              |
-| `demo-audio-mixing.js`          | Volume levels, background music, standalone audio, loop, multi-source mix              |
-| `demo-watermarks.js`            | Text/image watermarks, all positions, timed appearance, styled over transitions        |
-| `demo-karaoke-and-subtitles.js` | Smooth/instant karaoke, word timestamps, multiline, SRT, VTT, mixed text+karaoke       |
-| `demo-image-fit.js`             | Image fitting modes (blur-fill, cover, contain), Ken Burns + imageFit, mixed timelines |
-| `demo-torture-test.js`          | Kitchen sink, many clips+gaps+transitions, 6 simultaneous text animations, edge cases  |
-
-Each script header contains a `WHAT TO CHECK` section describing the expected visual output at every timestamp, making it easy to spot regressions.

+- **Declarative timeline** — `video`, `image`, `color`, `effect`, `text`, `subtitle`, `audio`, `music` clip types
+- **Transitions** — all FFmpeg xfade transitions with automatic compensation for timeline compression
+- **Ken Burns effects** — zoom, pan, smart, and custom with full easing control
+- **Image fitting** — `blur-fill`, `cover`, and `contain` modes for aspect ratio mismatches
+- **Text overlays** — static, word-by-word, karaoke, and cumulative modes with animations
+- **Effect clips** — vignette, film grain, blur, color grading, sepia, B&W, sharpen, chromatic aberration, letterbox
+- **Audio mixing** — multiple sources, background music, looping, independent volume control
+- **Platform presets** — TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and more
+- **Pre-validation** — structured error codes before rendering; integrates cleanly into data pipelines and AI workflows
+- **Schema export** — machine-readable clip specification for docs, code generation, and LLM context
+- **Static helpers** — `probe()`, `snapshot()`, `extractKeyframes()`
+- **TypeScript** — full type definitions included
+- **Zero runtime dependencies** — only requires FFmpeg on your system
