 ### Future Considerations
 
+*   **Twitch Integration Strategy:**
+    *   **URL Support:** Extend the URL handling to explicitly support Twitch video, single clip, and clip collection URLs.
+    *   **Single Video/Clip Downloads:** Leverage `yt-dlp`'s existing capabilities to download single Twitch videos and clips. This should work with the current implementation.
+    *   **Clip Collection Downloads (Batch Processing):** For Twitch clip collection URLs, `yt-dlp` will download all clips in the collection. This will require implementing batch processing capabilities (which is already a future consideration) to handle multiple downloaded files. The application will need to iterate through each downloaded clip and convert it individually.
 *   **Batch Processing:** Allow conversion of multiple files or URLs in a single run.
 *   **Configuration File:** Implement a configuration file (e.g., YAML, JSON) for persistent settings.
 *   **Progress Bar:** Integrate a progress bar for both download and conversion processes.

 ### Known Issues / Limitations
 
 *   DaVinci Resolve Free on Linux has limitations with certain audio codecs (e.g., AAC) and 4K output/encoding (requires Studio version).
-*   `ffmpeg-full` AUR package is required for `dnxhd` support on Arch-based systems.

+### Large scale implementations
+Since one of the limitations of this project is the requirement of ffmpeg-full for encoding videos for Davinci Resolve use we should investigate the proposition of implementing the necessary ffmpeg-full into the project release file.
+I do not know, currently if this is viable or even possible. But I think that a fully precompiled program with built in encoders and tools would be more attractive to most users.
+We should also see if there are other tools that would be considered natural for this project.

+The application's graphical user interface has been updated to use `customtkinter` as of November 2, 2025. This provides a modern and customizable look and feel.

 ## Setup Notes for Arch Linux / CachyOS
 
 When installing `ffmpeg-full` (required for DNxHR/HD codec support), users might encounter a dependency conflict with `obs-studio-browser`. `obs-studio-browser` typically requires `ffmpeg-obs`, which is incompatible with `ffmpeg-full`.
