🎯 User Benefits

Before These Changes:

❌ Users had to guess what settings do ❌ No guidance on optimal configurations ❌ Trial and error to find best settings ❌ Unclear technical terminology

After These Changes:

βœ… Every option has clear explanation βœ… Recommended settings provided βœ… Tips for best quality included βœ… Troubleshooting guidance built-in βœ… Professional results achievable by beginners


πŸ“– New Documentation

UI_IMPROVEMENTS_GUIDE.md

A complete 400+ line user guide covering:

  • Main workflow steps
  • Every processor explained
  • All settings with recommendations
  • Quality vs speed tradeoffs
  • Troubleshooting common issues
  • Example workflows
  • Best practices
  • Settings comparison table

🎨 Info Tooltip Examples

Here are examples of the helpful info text added:

Face Swapper Model:

"Choose the AI model for face swapping. inswapper_128 and blendswap_256 offer the best quality."

Pixel Boost:

"Higher resolution produces better quality but requires more processing time and memory. Use 1024x1024 for best results."

Execution Providers:

"Select hardware acceleration. CUDAExecutionProvider for NVIDIA GPUs, CoreMLExecutionProvider for Apple Silicon, CPUExecutionProvider as fallback."

Video Preset:

"Encoding speed vs file size. ultrafast = quick but large file, slow/slower = best quality & compression, medium = balanced."

Face Selector Mode:

"Choose how to select faces: Reference (track specific face), One (first detected), Many (all faces), or filters by age/gender/race."
