What changed

  • Draw the recording's audio waveform directly in the editor timeline.
  • Add a signed ±500 ms audio sync control and ±12 dB output trim.
  • Add one-click voice auto-mastering: 80 Hz high-pass, linked compression, RMS normalization, and peak limiting.
  • Add webcam crop zoom (100–300%) plus horizontal/vertical pan, applied consistently in preview and native export on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Add an accessible Add to timeline action to complement drag-and-drop.
  • Persist and clamp the new scene settings, serialize them to native exports, and localize the UI.

Why

The editor exposed no waveform or practical way to correct residual sync, clean up voice audio, or crop a webcam feed. Those are core finishing controls for a screen recorder and should be fast enough to use without external editing software.

Impact

Users can see where speech occurs, nudge audio without changing duration, master voice quickly, and reframe webcam footage while keeping preview and export behavior aligned.

Validation

  • 129 compositor library tests pass.
  • 121 focused TypeScript tests pass in the combined integration branch.
  • TypeScript, Biome, i18n consistency, whitespace, and production Vite build pass.
  • Packaged macOS app verified with accessibility-driven Computer Use:
    • waveform visibly renders from a real 74-second recording
    • auto-master, sync, and trim values change and reset
    • 300% webcam zoom visibly reframes the preview and resets to 100%
    • Add to timeline doubles the timeline duration and Undo restores it

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added audio controls for synchronization offset and output gain.
    • Audio settings now apply to previews and exported videos.
    • Added webcam crop and framing controls with zoom and pan adjustments.
    • Added an “Add to timeline” action for selected media assets.
    • Improved preview audio synchronization, including supplemental audio tracks.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected browser-based media URL handling.
    • Improved webcam cropping consistency across platforms.
    • Reduced clipping and unwanted noise in processed audio.
  • Localization

    • Added translated labels and messages across supported languages.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds scene-level audio processing, authored webcam cropping, editor controls, synchronized audio preview, and media-stage timeline insertion across the Rust compositor and TypeScript editor.

Changes

Scene media controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scene settings contracts and serialization
crates/compositor/src/scene.rs, src/lib/ai-edition/store/editorSettings.ts, src/native/sceneDescription.ts, src/native/sceneDescription.test.ts
Scene and editor settings now store webcam crop regions and audio offset and gain values. Scene serialization carries these values into compositor inputs.
Authored webcam cropping
crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_*.rs, src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Compositor source rectangles preserve authored webcam crops before aspect-ratio fitting. The editor provides zoom and pan controls with localized labels.
Audio finalization and export
crates/compositor/src/audio.rs, crates/compositor/src/pipeline_*.rs
PCM finalization normalizes channels, applies bounded gain and clipping, and applies signed offsets before AAC encoding on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Audio controls and synchronized preview
src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/VirtualPreview.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/FloatingInspector.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/VirtualPreview.audio.test.ts
The editor exposes audio settings. Preview playback synchronizes primary and supplemental audio through Web Audio processing and offset-aware timing.

Media timeline insertion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add selected media to timeline
src/components/ai-edition/v4/MediaStage.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/V4Timeline.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.module.css, src/i18n/locales/*/editor.json
Selected media can be added to the timeline through an asynchronous editor callback. The action includes localized labels, success feedback, error propagation, and secondary button styling.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f26ee

Audio sync changes may preview incorrectly when playback speed or clip boundaries are involved, and rapid asset drops may lose or misplace clips in the timeline. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Add a case for an unknown duration.

src/components/ai-edition/VirtualPreview.tsx passes audio.duration, which is NaN until the media metadata loads. resolveAudioPreviewTime handles that through the Number.isFinite fallback, but no test covers it. A NaN case pins the "play while the duration is still unknown" behavior.

Attribution: the coding guidelines require "Add a test for every new behavior in the same package as the code under test."

120-135: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Shift the PCM in place to avoid a second full-length buffer.

shifted allocates a complete copy of the PCM. For a long export the assembled PCM is already large (48 kHz × channels × duration), so this doubles peak audio memory for the whole finalization step. copy_within plus a zero fill of the vacated region gives the same result without the extra allocation.

♻️ Proposed in-place shift
-    let mut shifted = vec![vec![0.0f32; samples]; pcm.len()];
     if shift > 0 {
         let destination = (shift as usize).min(samples);
         let count = samples - destination;
-        for channel in 0..pcm.len() {
-            shifted[channel][destination..destination + count]
-                .copy_from_slice(&pcm[channel][..count]);

In `@src/components/ai-edition/v4/MediaStage.tsx`:
- Around line 98-102: add colocated Vitest coverage for MediaStage’s
addSelectedToTimeline action, verifying the selected asset ID is forwarded to
onAddToTimeline and that no call occurs when selected is absent; if rendering
MediaStage, use the jsdom environment directive, otherwise keep the default Node
environment.
- Around line 98-101: Update addSelectedToTimeline so the success toast uses the
displayed asset name, falling back to basename(selected.originalPath) when
selected.label is empty, matching the media card’s existing name-resolution
behavior.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/VirtualPreview.tsx`:
- Around line 188-216: Update the WebAudio setup effect around audioGraphRef and
createMediaElementSource to cache one MediaElementAudioSourceNode per
HTMLAudioElement in a WeakMap and reuse it across effect reruns, including
StrictMode remounts. Ensure cached nodes remain connected to the active
processing graph without recreating them or leaving elements attached to closed
contexts; preserve the existing cleanup and fallback behavior.
- Around line 175-179: Update the preparePreviewAudioTrack flow in
VirtualPreview so rejected IPC calls are handled and still mark audio probing
complete. Add a rejection path alongside the existing success handler that
clears or preserves the appropriate supplemental audio source, calls
setAudioProbeComplete(true), and prevents an unhandled promise rejection.
- Around line 218-237: Ensure the mastering-parameter effect also runs after the
audio graph is created, rather than relying on the ref update to trigger it.
Track graph creation with state and include that state in the effect
dependencies, or extract the parameter assignments from the effect and invoke
that function immediately after graph creation while preserving the existing
settings behavior.
- Around line 757-780: Stabilize the audio element ref callbacks in
VirtualPreview by wrapping the primary and supplemental ref handlers with
useCallback. Preserve assigning both the corresponding audio ref and state
setter, and ensure dependencies include the referenced setters and refs so
callbacks do not change on each render.

In `@src/i18n/locales/ar/settings.json`:
- Around line 56-59: Translate the English values for layout.webcamFraming,
layout.webcamCropZoom, layout.webcamCropX, layout.webcamCropY, and every entry
in the audio group within the Arabic settings locale, while preserving valid
JSON and the existing key structure. Verify all 13 settings locale files contain

All CodeRabbit findings are addressed in 3d1cd3f, including both nitpicks: the PCM shift is in-place and NaN media duration remains playable. Verification: full Vitest suite 1705 passed / 1 skipped, app and test TypeScript checks passed, i18n passed all 12 locales, lint passed with only pre-existing warnings, and Rust passed 129 tests. An independent verifier audited the exact diff and all 12 findings with no blocker.

The editor's auto-master chain could not be reproduced in the preview, so the
file a user exported was not the one they had just approved by ear.

The preview plays the untouched source file, seeked. The export runs
`finish_audio` on the assembled timeline — trimmed, speed-adjusted,
concatenated. Two of the four auto-master stages diverge across that gap by
construction: the high-pass and the compressor carry state across cuts on one
side and not the other, and Chromium's DynamicsCompressorNode is not the
hand-rolled peak compressor in audio.rs to begin with. The fourth is worse
still — the RMS/peak makeup is a single scalar (up to x4) measured over the
whole assembled programme, which the preview never holds and which changes with
every trim. So the preview applied a filter and a compressor it could not match
and skipped a normaliser it could not compute.

It also shipped enabled by default, which meant every project ever recorded
would have come out at a different level on its next export without the user
touching anything — while the Rust side defaulted the same flag to false.

Keep what is parity-safe by construction and drop the rest:

- Sync offset and output gain stay. A whole-sample delay and a linear gain land
  identically on the source file and on the assembled timeline; the preview's
  GainNode now uses the same `10 ** (dB / 20)` scalar `finish_audio` applies,
  and a test pins that identity.
- The preview graph loses the BiquadFilterNode and the DynamicsCompressorNode
  and becomes source -> gain -> destination. It also no longer tears the whole
  graph down when one element fails to route: once createMediaElementSource has
  run for an element, `volume` no longer reaches the output, so disconnecting
  everything muted the preview instead of degrading it.
- One range instead of three. The sliders, the store and `finish_audio` all
  clamp to +/-500 ms and +/-12 dB, exported as AUDIO_OFFSET_MS_LIMIT /
  AUDIO_GAIN_DB_LIMIT.
- SceneAudio drops `auto_master` and gains per-field serde defaults, so a
  payload from a build that predates a field degrades to "neutral" rather than
  failing the whole scene.
- sceneDescription.test.ts asserts the payload exposes offset and gain and
  nothing else, so a future stage cannot be added here unnoticed.

Thanks for this — the webcam crop and the Add to timeline action are exactly the kind of finishing controls the editor was missing, and the TS→Rust crop parity work (webcam_source_rect + croppedWebcamSize feeding computeCompositeLayout) is careful.

I've rebased the branch onto main and pushed one commit on top that removes the auto-mastering. I did the removal myself rather than asking for it because the reasoning is a product call on my side, not a defect in your implementation. Everything else in the PR is untouched.

Why

The PR describes the mastering as "applied consistently in preview and native export". I went to verify that and it doesn't hold — and it can't, with this architecture:

  • High-pass: preview is a BiquadFilterNode (2nd order, Q 0.707, −12 dB/oct); export is a hand-rolled 1st-order RC (−6 dB/oct). Different slope.
  • Compressor: preview is Chromium's DynamicsCompressorNode (soft knee 12 dB, spec lookahead); export is a hard-knee peak-envelope compressor. Different detector, different curve.
  • RMS normalisation: audio.rs:88-104 applies a makeup of up to ×4 (+12 dB) or down to ×0.1 (−20 dB). The preview has no equivalent stage at all.

The last one is the blocker, and it isn't a matter of porting the code. That makeup is a single scalar measured over the assembled timeline — after trims, speed regions and concatenation. The preview plays the untouched source file, seeked; it never holds that programme, and the scalar changes with every trim. So it cannot be reproduced live short of rendering the export's audio assembly in the renderer.

The filter and the compressor have a milder version of the same problem: they carry state across cuts on the export side and not on the preview side. Those two could be brought to near-parity (IIRFilterNode with the Rust coefficients, plus an AudioWorkletNode running the same difference equations) — but that's a real chunk of work, it needs a numeric parity test to stay honest, and loading an AudioWorklet module from inside app.asar is a packaging trap this repo has hit before. Not something to carry on the same PR as a crop control.

Two things pushed me from "needs work" to "remove":

  1. audioAutoMaster defaulted to true. Existing documents carry no legacyEditor.audioAutoMaster, so getEditorSettings returned true for every project ever recorded — each one would have come out at a different level on its next export with nothing changed. (Worth noting the Rust side defaulted the same flag to false, so the two ends of the boundary disagreed about what "default" meant.)
  2. Even with the toggle off, preview ≠ export: the high-pass and compressor stayed wired into the graph and were only neutralised (20 Hz, ratio 1) rather than disconnected, and DynamicsCompressorNode adds its own pre-delay regardless of settings. The export applied nothing.

What I kept, and why it's provable

Sync offset and output gain stay. A whole-sample delay and a linear gain are the only operations that land identically on the source file and on the assembled timeline:

Preview Export
Output gain GainNode.gain = 10 ** (dB / 20) trim = 10f32.powf(dB / 20)
Sync offset seek audio.currentTime integer sample shift

The preview graph is now source → gain → destination. The GainNode has to stay because element.volume can't boost past 0 dB.

A few things I fixed while I was in there:

  • One range instead of three. Sliders, store and finish_audio all clamp to ±500 ms / ±12 dB, via exported AUDIO_OFFSET_MS_LIMIT / AUDIO_GAIN_DB_LIMIT. They were ±500/±12, ±2000/−24…+18 and ±2000/−24…+18 respectively, so a value from the agent or a hand-edited project could export an offset the UI couldn't display.
  • The WebAudio fallback no longer mutes the preview. If routing one element threw, the catch disconnected every source node and fell back to element.volume — which does nothing once createMediaElementSource has run for that element, since its audio no longer reaches the default destination. The try/catch is per-element now.
  • SceneAudio gained per-field serde defaults, so a payload from a build predating a field degrades to "that stage is neutral" instead of failing the whole scene.
  • Tests: 4 in sceneDescription.test.ts (one asserts the payload exposes only offsetMs and gainDb, so a future stage can't slip in unnoticed), and the Rust tests rewritten — one pins the 10^(dB/20) identity with the preview, one covers the bounds. The old offset test passed by relying on the ±1 output clamp (inputs of 2.0/3.0); it now uses in-range values so it actually tests the shift.
  • audio.help rewritten in all 13 locales — it still described automatic voice cleanup.

tsc, tsc -p tsconfig.test.json, Biome, i18n:check and 300 tests across src/components/ai-edition, src/lib/ai-edition/store and src/native all pass locally. I couldn't build the Rust crate here (no vendored ffmpeg), so the three Rust CI jobs are the real check on audio.rs and scene.rs.

On the description

One correction for the record: the first bullet claims the PR draws the audio waveform in the timeline. That's been on main since 29 July — git diff main...HEAD in this branch contains no waveform code. Worth trimming from the description so the changelog doesn't double-count it.

If you want the mastering back

It's a good feature and I'd take it as its own PR, on these terms:

  1. Drop the whole-programme RMS/makeup — it's the only edit-dependent stage, and it's what makes parity impossible.
  2. IIRFilterNode with the Rust coefficients + an AudioWorkletNode for the compressor; disconnect both when the toggle is off rather than neutralising them.
  3. A numeric parity test: same input buffer through Rust and through a JS port, max abs diff under a stated tolerance.
  4. Default false.

Residual divergence at clip boundaries (filter state and compressor envelope crossing a cut on one side only) is fine as long as it's documented rather than claimed away.

Happy to review that one whenever you get to it. Thanks again for the crop work — that part is landing as you wrote it.

Make the offset-bound assertion observable.

The two-sample input becomes silence for both a 500 ms delay and a 9,999 ms delay. The assertion does not prove that offset_ms clamps to 500 ms.

Use a buffer longer than AUDIO_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_RATE / 2 with an impulse. Assert that the impulse appears exactly at the 500 ms sample index.

Serialize rapid asset drops before calling insertClipAt. handleDropAsset captures the same clips.length, and insertClipAt reads that stale document before each save. Concurrent saves can place both clips at one index or overwrite the first clip. Read the document inside a sequential queue and compute the append index there.

Resolve audio offset in timeline time.

finish_audio shifts audio after speed adjustment and clip concatenation. The preview subtracts the offset directly from active-source time.

At 2× speed, a 500 ms export delay becomes a 250 ms preview delay. At a clip boundary, delayed or advanced audio can belong to the previous or next asset, but the preview routes only the active asset.

Map virtualTimeSec - offset back to the required timeline clip and source time. Keep the required audio source routed across clip boundaries. Add coverage for non-1× speed and cross-asset boundaries.
