🚀 Recommended Next Steps
Priority 1: Documentation Updates (1-2 days)
Tasks:
- Mark Transform Studio and Control Studio as "Live" in all docs
- Update Asset Library feature list to match implementation
- Clarify WaveSpeed module boundaries (Text-to-Video in Video Studio, Voice Clone in Persona/Video Studio)
- 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:
- Infrastructure (1-2 weeks): Task queue, job models, scheduler, notifications
- Backend (1 week): BatchProcessorService, CSV parser, queue management, progress tracking
- Frontend (1 week): BatchProcessor component, CSV upload, queue visualization, scheduling UI
Recommendation: Start after Priority 1 and 2 are complete.
