Roadmap
EffectCraft aims to do what After Effects does, with the same panels, menus and behaviour, written from scratch in Rust. This is where it stands. The milestones overlap; several are worked on at once.

Done (web build: docs/web.md) |
| M1 | Keyframes: temporal and spatial interpolation, Easy Ease, roving, velocity | Done |
| M2 | Compositing: 38 blend modes, track mattes, parenting, adjustment layers | Done |
| M3 | Project operations: settings dialogs, layer commands, .ecproj, undo, After Effects menu bar |
Mostly done |
| M4 | Preview: precomps, motion blur, cached playback | Mostly done |
