📋 Implementation Details & Technical Specifications

🎯 Overview

This document captures specific implementation details, technical specifications, and advanced features that are essential for the complete implementation of the Animation Designer Bot system.

🔍 Advanced Computer Vision Features

Triple-Extraction Methodology

The system uses a triple-extraction approach from After Effects that goes beyond the basic dual-rendering:

  1. Normal Video Render: Standard output for final video
  2. Color-Coded Video Render: Elements tagged with specific colors for automatic identification
  3. Animation JSON Export: Keyframes, easing curves, timing, and layer hierarchies
