🎯 Implementation Gaps & Issues

1. Documentation Inconsistencies ⚠️

Issue: Some documentation marks Transform Studio and Control Studio as "planned" when they are actually implemented.

Affected Files:

  • docs-site/docs/features/image-studio/overview.md (lines 72-80)
  • docs-site/docs/features/image-studio/modules.md (lines 14-15)

Action Required: Update documentation to reflect actual status.


2. WaveSpeed Integration Documentation ⚠️

Issue: Need to clarify which WaveSpeed features are in Image Studio vs. other modules.

Action Required:

  • Document that Text-to-Video is in Video Studio (by design)
  • Note InfiniteTalk replaces Hunyuan Avatar for talking avatars
  • Clarify Voice Cloning is for Persona/Video Studio, not Image Studio

3. Transform Studio - Missing Features ⚠️

Issue: Some features mentioned in plans are not implemented.

Status:

  • Image-to-Video (WAN 2.5) - Implemented
  • Talking Avatar (InfiniteTalk) - Implemented
  • Image-to-3D (Stable Fast 3D) - Not implemented
  • Text-to-Video - In Video Studio, not Image Studio

Action Required:

  • Decide if Image-to-3D feature is needed
  • If yes, implement Stable Fast 3D integration
  • If no, remove from documentation
  • Update docs to clarify Text-to-Video is in Video Studio

4. Asset Library - Partial Features ⚠️

Issue: Several features mentioned in documentation are not implemented:

  • Collections (organize assets into collections)
  • AI tagging (automatic tagging)
  • Version history (track asset versions)
  • Shareable boards (collaboration features)

Action Required:

  • Implement missing features OR
  • Update documentation to reflect current capabilities

5. Batch Processor - Not Started 🚧

Issue: Batch Processor is the only module not implemented.

Action Required:

  • Plan infrastructure requirements
  • Design queue system
  • Implement in phases

  2. Update Asset Library feature list to match implementation
  3. Clarify WaveSpeed module boundaries (Text-to-Video in Video Studio, Voice Clone in Persona/Video Studio)
  4. Remove Image-to-3D if not planned, or document as future feature

Files: docs-site/docs/features/image-studio/overview.md, modules.md, frontend/src/components/ImageStudio/dashboard/modules.tsx


Priority 2: Asset Library Enhancements (1-2 weeks)

Options:

  • A: Implement missing features (Collections, AI tagging, Version history, Shareable boards)
  • B: Update docs to reflect current capabilities (1 day)

Recommendation: Start with Option B, prioritize based on user feedback.


Priority 3: Transform Studio - Image-to-3D (1-2 weeks)

Decision Required:

  • Is Image-to-3D needed?
  • If yes, implement Stable Fast 3D integration
  • If no, remove from documentation

Recommendation: Defer unless there's clear user demand.


Priority 4: Batch Processor (3-4 weeks)

Phases:

  1. Infrastructure (1-2 weeks): Task queue, job models, scheduler, notifications
