# TODO: Convert Video Create to Cute Staged Popup Modal

## Implementation Plan

### 1. Create Upload Modal Partial
- [x] Create `resources/views/layouts/partials/upload-modal.blade.php`
- [x] Implement cute staged pop-up animation (scale + fade with bounce)
- [x] Create multi-step form (Title → Video → Thumbnail → Privacy → Upload)
- [x] Add progress indicator for current step
- [x] Style with dark theme + cute accents

### 2. Update Header
- [x] Modify `resources/views/layouts/partials/header.blade.php`
- [x] Change Upload button from link to trigger modal via JavaScript

### 3. Include Modal in Views
- [x] Update `resources/views/videos/index.blade.php` to include upload modal
- [x] Update `resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php` to include modal globally for auth users

### 4. Keep Fallback Route
- [x] Keep existing `/videos/create` route for direct access (no changes needed)

## Implementation Notes
- Uses Bootstrap modal as base
- Custom CSS for cute staged animation effects
- JavaScript for step navigation and form handling
- Matches existing dark theme styling
