Fundamentals guides.

Start here to turn the broad idea of a Frame API into a specific technical task. Frame can mean a decoded video picture, a digital composition, or a record in a data structure. The useful foundation is a clear relationship between input, operation, and output. Once those are named, decisions about formats, timing, model use, and integration become easier to evaluate. An interface should explain what it accepts and returns before its branding or feature labels carry the conversation.

This category establishes the vocabulary used throughout the site and shows how the different workflows connect. Read with a concrete goal, such as creating thumbnails or organizing visual analysis results, and identify the stages that goal requires. The Frame API topic overview provides a starting map. Keep a short list of assumptions about your source media and expected result. The specialist guides can then help verify those assumptions instead of adding complexity without a defined purpose.
