## Architecture (Inherited from Image Studio)

### Backend
- **Modular Services**: Each module has its own service
- **Manager Pattern**: `VideoStudioManager` orchestrates operations
- **Provider Abstraction**: WaveSpeed models behind unified interface
- **Cost Validation**: Pre-flight checks and real-time estimates

### Frontend
- **Consistent UI**: Same glassy layout and motion presets as Image Studio
- **Component Reuse**: Shared UI components (`GlassyCard`, `SectionHeader`, etc.)
- **Module Dashboard**: Card-based navigation with status and pricing
- **Video Player**: Custom video preview component

### API Design
- RESTful endpoints: `/api/video-studio/{module}/{operation}`
- Authentication middleware
- Cost estimation endpoints
- Secure video file serving
