Roadmap
The future of Ember Motion Studio is built around autonomy, professionalization, and sustainability. This roadmap reflects the commitment to transforming an experimental engine into a broadcast industry standard.
Phase 1: Atmospheric Stabilization (v5.6 - v5.9)
Section titled “Phase 1: Atmospheric Stabilization (v5.6 - v5.9)”This phase focuses on eliminating technical friction and ensuring the software suite is 100% autonomous for motion design professionals.
- ✅ v5.6.0:
- Comprehensive Project Management (Gallery).
- Auto-Fetch: Autonomous download of Chromium and FFmpeg.
- Layout remodeling for enhanced professional neutrality.
- ✅ v5.7.0:
- Technical Transparency: Visualization of the compilation process (esbuild) in the UI.
- Implementation of the Dynamic Loader to eliminate the black screen.
- ✅ v5.8.0 Master (Current):
- Complete Rebranding: Transition to Ember Motion Studio.
- Honest Boot Sequence: Hardware scanning and module assembly reported in real-time to the user.
- Legal Compliance: New detailed EULA for third-party dependencies (Remotion).
- UX Polish: Management of external links and refinement of contact modals.
- 🔲 v5.9.0:
- Shader Optimizations & Native Previews.
- Refactoring of the audio kernel for higher fidelity in ProRes 4444 exports.
Phase 2: Expansion & Sustainability (v6.0+)
Section titled “Phase 2: Expansion & Sustainability (v6.0+)”The leap toward mass production and the professional commercial model.
- 🔲 v6.0.0:
- Batch Render Panel: Massive rendering of broadcast overlays using CSV/Excel data.
- Implementation of the licensing system (Lemon Squeezy) for PRO features.
- Premium modules with commercial licensing (the core engine remains MIT).
Long-Term Vision
Section titled “Long-Term Vision”- Connected Graphics: Reactive visual workflows where one plugin feeds data to another.
- Remote Control: Satellite mobile app to trigger live graphics in environments like OBS or vMix.
- LTS Edition: Hyper-reduced version focused solely on uninterrupted stability for 24/7 broadcast transmissions.
