## Where it stands
EffectCraft is young. The core of After Effects is in place and gets deeper every week: what is
done and what comes next is in the [ROADMAP](ROADMAP.md). Not there yet: layer styles, time and
audio effects, audio playback, motion tracking, puppet and paint tools, and GPU compositing. The
web build runs the full app in the browser, single-threaded for now. Projects are saved as `.ecproj`, readable versioned JSON; After Effects `.aep`
files cannot be opened.
