Description

Keep actual gaps between clips. Deleting a middle section leaves later clips, annotations and audio where they were. The gap takes real playback time and renders as solid black without the configured background, source video, webcam, captions, annotations or source audio. Independently placed audio can continue.

The preview owns timeline time separately from source time. It follows media time inside a clip and elapsed time in a gap. Export uses the same clip positions and source in-points, with a single output frame grid across splits. Reordered source ranges use separate forward decode passes. Trim handles stop at source bounds.

Source audio is scheduled at explicit output positions. Positioned clips use the existing PCM/FFmpeg audio mux path: the WebCodecs AAC path added about 44 ms in the smoke test. No compensating time offset was added.

Motivation

Setting a clip to 3x, splitting it twice and deleting the middle could make the playhead jump. The source video was being used as the timeline clock, and export concatenated the retained footage. Neither could represent a real gap.

Type of Change

  • Bug Fix
  • Refactor / Code Cleanup

Related Issue(s)

Reported during testing after #937. No separate issue.

Screenshots / Video

Generated a 12-second test recording, edited it to four seconds at 3x with a gap from 1.0 to 2.0 seconds, and exported through both pipelines. Media inspection confirmed 120 video frames, a four-second file, and exactly matching black-gap and source-audio-silence boundaries. Test media remains local; no private recording was uploaded.

Testing Guide

Automated checks completed:

  • 1,146 tests pass across 128 files, including new transport, source-boundary, decoder, renderer and audio-scheduling regressions.
  • TypeScript and the production Vite build pass.
  • npx biome lint src electron scripts passes. Full workspace lint also scans unrelated untracked generated files under announcement-studio/ and services/; its 16 errors are outside this PR.
  • Actual browser transport test: gap elapsed 1,000.3 ms; pause held its position; the second clip resumed at the expected source position.
  • Actual modern/WebCodecs and legacy export tests: four seconds and 120 frames, plus renderer regressions confirming gap frames are solid black without visual layers.

Manual checklist before merging:

  • Set a recording to 3x, split twice, delete the middle, and confirm later clips do not move.
  • Play, seek, pause, and resume inside the gap; the playhead must not skip it.
  • Check source audio/webcam/captions disappear in the gap and resume with the right footage.
  • Place music and an annotation across the gap; verify their timing in preview and export.
  • Move clips, change speed again, trim both edges, then undo/redo and save/reopen.
  • Export MP4 and GIF and compare the gap and cut positions with the preview.

Scope

This PR is limited to current projects that store speed on each clip. Migration of older projects using separate speedRegions is explicitly out of scope, as agreed. Keep this draft until review findings and the remaining manual checks are addressed.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • I have added regression tests and inspected real preview/export behavior.
  • Manual mixed-effects/GIF checks are complete.
  • Scope confirmed: current per-clip-speed projects only; no legacy migration.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added timeline-based clip playback with reordered clips, variable speeds, and intentional gaps.
    • Added clip-aware video, audio, GIF, and export rendering while preserving timeline positions and gaps.
    • Captions, annotations, zoom effects, webcam previews, and thumbnails now follow the edited timeline.
    • Added background-only rendering during timeline gaps.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Clip resizing preserves source alignment and prevents extending beyond available footage.
    • Deleting or trimming clips no longer removes unrelated timeline edits.
    • Improved seeking, pausing, playback errors, and source-to-timeline synchronization.

The pull request makes clip regions the source of timeline playback and export timing. It preserves timeline gaps during editing, maps timeline and source positions across clips, and renders video and audio using explicit clip placement.

Changes

Clip timeline integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timeline editing and playback
src/components/video-editor/...
Clip resizing and deletion preserve gaps. Playback, audio sync, overlays, and controls use clip-based timeline time and speed.
Clip-aware video decoding and rendering
src/lib/exporter/...
Video export decodes clip runs, emits gap frames, uses timeline timestamps for effects, and hides video layers during gaps.
Clip-aware audio rendering
src/lib/exporter/audio*, src/lib/exporter/offlineAudioProcessor.ts
Offline audio rendering creates clip-positioned slices and schedules source and overlay audio in output time.

@coderabbitai review Please review the new gap-preserving implementation in ad155d4, including preview transport, frame scheduling, source-audio placement and cancellation. This replaces the earlier ripple-delete approach. The legacy speed-region migration decision remains explicitly open in the PR description.

@webadderall I will review commit ad155d4.

I will focus on preview transport, frame scheduling, source-audio placement, and cancellation. I will treat the legacy speed-region migration as an open decision and not as a blocking finding.

Do not project captions across deleted source ranges.

useTimelineProjection.ts maps each autoCaptions endpoint with mapSourceTimeToTimelineTime. For a source cue from 11s to 19s and clips ending at 10s and starting at 20s, mapNearestClipBoundary produces timeline endpoints of 10s and 20s. TimelineEditor then renders that cue across the deleted gap.

When building effectiveCaptionRegions, intersect each cue with kept source ranges. Omit cues with no intersection and split cues that cross a deleted range. Preserve nearest-boundary behavior for other mapSourceTimeToTimelineTime callers.

Pass clipRegions to the browser audio processor.

A default-position clip with muted: true can keep shouldUseFfmpegAudioFallback false when AAC encoding is supported. This call then omits the clip mute state, so AudioProcessor.process can export the source audio unchanged.

Pass this.config.clipRegions after sourceAudioTrackSettings, as modernVideoExporter.ts already does.

Keep annotations visible during timeline gaps.

annotationContainer is a child of cameraContainer. When videoFrame is null, renderFrame hides cameraContainer, so Pixi also hides the annotations updated for backgroundTimelineTimestamp.

Do not hide cameraContainer for gaps. Hide only source-specific child layers and keep annotationContainer visible.

Pass clipRegions to AudioProcessor.process.

A project with one identity-positioned muted clip does not satisfy requiresClipTimelineRendering(). When browser AAC encoding is available, this call omits the final clipRegions argument, so AudioProcessor cannot detect the muted clip and can mux the original source audio.

Use half-open intervals in both mapping loops.

At an adjacent clip boundary, findClipAtTimelineTime selects the next clip because it uses timeMs < clip.endMs. These conditions include the previous clip end instead.

For positioned clips, an exact seek to the next clip start can therefore use the next clip's mute and speed settings with the previous clip's source time. Use >= for the end checks. The final timeline endpoint will still map through mapNearestClipBoundary.

Proposed fix
-		if (roundedTimeMs < clip.startMs || roundedTimeMs > clip.endMs) {
+		if (roundedTimeMs < clip.startMs || roundedTimeMs >= clip.endMs) {
 			continue;
 		}
-		if (roundedTimeMs < sourceStartMs || roundedTimeMs > sourceEndMs) {
+		if (roundedTimeMs < sourceStartMs || roundedTimeMs >= sourceEndMs) {

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Advance timeline animation state during gap frames.

This branch returns before updateAnimationState. A zoom region that spans a gap therefore does not transform annotations in the exported gap frame. The next source frame advances the spring over the entire skipped interval because lastContentTimeMs still contains the pre-gap timestamp.

Advance or reset scene animation for each gap output frame, then pass the resulting scene transform and coordinate mask to renderAnnotations. Keep source video, webcam, cursor, and captions hidden.

Abort when cancellation occurs during offline audio rendering.

AudioProcessor.renderEditedAudioTrack returns a WAV blob even when renderChunked stops because this.cancelled is true. renderEditedAudioForNativeMux passes the resulting partial editedAudioData to FFmpeg without a cancellation check. The outer export can then return success when muxing succeeds. Check cancellation after offline rendering and immediately before FFmpeg muxing.

renderEditedAudioForNativeMux to check the cancellation state after

invoking FFmpeg muxing. Abort and propagate the existing cancellation behavior
instead of passing partial editedAudioData to FFmpeg or allowing the export to
succeed.

@webadderall Review complete. I found no blocking issue in commit cd2405f.

The implementation handles timeline gaps as follows:

  • Preview: VideoPlayback hides the wallpaper, Pixi container, overlay, fallback message, and fallback video when isGap is true. The visible preview wrapper has backgroundColor: "#000000".
  • Legacy export: FrameRenderer.renderFrame(null, ...) fills the encoded composite canvas with #000000 and returns before Pixi rendering, webcam rendering, captions, annotations, or background composition.
  • Modern export: modernFrameRenderer.FrameRenderer.renderFrame(null, ...) fills the export composite canvas with #000000, selects it through outputCanvasOverride, and returns before all visual-layer rendering.
  • GIF export: GifExporter uses the legacy FrameRenderer. It adds FrameRenderer.getCanvas() after each decoded frame, including null gap frames. The GIF configuration also sets a black background and disables transparency.

The canvas context operations that change alpha or composite mode use save() and restore(). The gap black fills therefore use the normal opaque source-over context state.

The updated tests verify black fills and verify that visual rendering calls do not run for gap frames. I inspected the tests but did not execute them.
