feat: add stream-copy exports

 - **Frame-accurate scrubbing** — click or drag the timeline; arrow keys and J/L for frame-by-frame, Shift for 1-second steps
 - **Batch export** — export multiple overlapping clips per cut point with configurable count and spread offset
-- **Two export formats** — H.264 MP4 with lossless PCM audio, or WebP image sequence (frames + `.wav`)
+- **Three export modes** — H.264 MP4 with lossless PCM audio, WebP image sequence (frames + `.wav`), or lossless/fast ffmpeg stream copy that preserves the source container
 - **Portrait crop** — crop to 9:16, 4:5, or 1:1 before export; click the video or crop bar to reposition
 - **Random portrait/square** — optionally apply a random crop to a subset of each batch
 - **Resize** — scale short side to a fixed pixel size (e.g. 512)
 - **Hardware encoding** — GPU-accelerated export via NVENC, VAAPI, QSV, AMF, or VideoToolbox
+- **Long clips** — clip duration is no longer capped at 30 seconds
 - **Subject tracking** — auto-adjust crop center using YOLOv8 detection (optional)
