🔧 Technical Implementation

Frontend Changes

RecommendationsPage.js

// Added VideoContext integration
import { useVideo } from '../context/VideoContext';

// Enhanced applyRecommendation function
const applyRecommendation = (recommendationId, type) => {
  // Applies individual recommendations based on type
  switch (type) {
    case 'cut': addCut(timeInSeconds); break;
    case 'filter': addFilter(filterData); break;
    case 'music': addFilter(musicFilter); break;
  }
};

// New bulk application function
const applyAllToEditor = () => {
  // Applies top-confidence recommendations automatically
  // Navigates to editor with success message
};

EditorPage.js

// Added success message handling
const [showSuccessMessage, setShowSuccessMessage] = useState(false);

// Location state detection for applied recommendations
useEffect(() => {
  if (location.state?.appliedRecommendations) {
    setSuccessMessage(location.state.message);
    setShowSuccessMessage(true);
  }
}, [location.state]);

// Success notification Snackbar
<Snackbar open={showSuccessMessage} autoHideDuration={4000}>
  <Alert severity="success">{successMessage}</Alert>
</Snackbar>
