## What it is
An open-source Android app and set of libraries demonstrating how to build a beauty camera, image editor, and short-video editor. It implements real-time face beautification, dynamic filters and stickers, face reshaping, and TikTok-style video editing with a custom FFmpeg-based player.

## Use cases
- build a real-time beauty camera app on android
- add live filters and face beautification to camera preview
- implement dynamic stickers over camera feed
- edit short videos with effects like tiktok
- learn opengles camera rendering on android
- build a custom ffmpeg video player with real-time effects
- segmented video recording with delete-last-clip

## When to choose
- learning how beauty camera and short-video editing features are implemented on Android
- need reference code for OpenGL ES camera rendering, filters, or face landmarks
- want a TikTok-style editing UI with real-time effect preview

## When to avoid
- production use - the author warns the player has bugs and parts are unfinished
- need a stable, licensed SDK - the repo has no license and depends on a trial Face++ SDK
- need complete image or video editing - several modules are incomplete

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, video-processing, computer-vision, graphics, audio-processing
- domain: mobile-development, image-processing, computer-vision, media
- platform: cpp, jvm
- tags: beauty-camera, real-time-filters, face-beautification, opengles, ffmpeg, short-video-editing, camera-app, sticker-overlays, learning-project, video, android, mobile
