 ## Features
 
-- Unified UI for video processing workflows
+- **Input Tab**: File selection, encoding settings (codec, preset, CQ), bitrate management, preview encoding
-- Integration with existing mux workflows
+- **Render Tab**: Progress monitoring, queue management, live FFmpeg output, pause/stop controls
-- Streamlined video management
+- **QC Tab**: Quality control checks, frame-by-frame comparison, visual verification
-- Automated processing pipelines

-## Development
-
-This project is currently in initial development phase.
 
 ## Setup
 
-1. Clone the repository
+1. **Install Python Dependencies**:
-2. Install dependencies (TBD)
+   ```bash
-3. Configure video source paths
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
-4. Run the application
+   ```
+
+2. **Install FFmpeg** (if not already installed):
+   - Windows: Download from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
+   - Or use: `winget install ffmpeg`
+
+3. **Configure Paths**:
+   - Default input: `R:\mux\input`
+   - Default output: `R:\mux\output`
+   - Default logs: `R:\mux\logs`
+
+4. **Run the Application**:
+   ```bash
+   python run.py
+   # or
+   python vodkeeper.py
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Input Tab
+- Browse and select input directory
+- Choose encoding settings (h265_nvenc, vp9, av1)
+- Set preset (p1-p7, default p7)
+- Configure CQ value (0-51, default 0)
+- Auto-detect or manually set bitrate cap
+- Preview encode (1 minute test)
+
+### Render Tab
+- Add files to render queue
+- Monitor progress with live FFmpeg output
+- Pause/stop rendering operations
+- View queue status and progress
+
+### QC Tab
+- Select source and output files for comparison
+- Run quality control checks
+- Compare frames side-by-side
+- Export QC reports
+
+## Development
+
+This project uses:
+- **Tkinter** for the UI
+- **ffmpeg-python** for video processing
+- **OpenCV** for frame analysis
+- **Pillow** for image handling
