Description

Look into making it completely functional/stateless:

getFrame(frameNum, parameters) -> calculates transitions and everything to return a calculated frame

This allows for making a GUI with seeking to any random frame

Must have workaround for non-seekable streams like ffmpeg pipe

Also cache low resolution/low framerate version of each input video cut so we can render preview faster

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing getFrame(frameNum, parameters) entry point and how non-seekable ffmpeg streams are handled. Read the linked ffmpeg filter and mailing-list references, then determine how random seeking and low-resolution, low-framerate preview caching should work. Done means a stateless frame calculation, a non-seekable-stream workaround, and faster previews for each input video cut.
