Research direction

The request concerns integrating the third-party ZegoEffects SDK for beauty filtering on the Android side, with the I420 processing call shown in the issue body. Nothing in the payload names a RootEncoder file or entry point to start from, so the first step is locating where RootEncoder exposes raw frame hooks in its Android source. Done would mean a working example of feeding frames through the effect processor, which the issue does not define.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to implement a beauty filter using ZegoEffect. I started with the DeepAR example but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
The methods that can be used to process frames in ZegoEffect are as follows:

Example I420 process code:

ZegoEffectsVideoFrameParam param = new ZegoEffectsVideoFrameParam();
param.setFormat(ZegoEffectsVideoFrameFormat.I420);
param.setWidth(width);
param.setHeight(height);
if (mZegoEffects != null) {
    mZegoEffects.processImageBufferYUV(data, dataLength, param);
}

How can I integrate it?
