Summary

Adds two new audio layer kinds to the editor: voiceover and background music. A layer is a clip-anchored timeline region (same v5 anchor model as zoom/annotation, so it travels with its clip through reorder/trim) that plays an audio asset at its position on the timeline — audible in the preview and mixed into MP4 exports.

How a layer gets in:

  • V / B (remappable in the shortcuts dialog) or the timeline toolbar's mic/music buttons open the add flow.
  • Voiceover: record live from the microphone while the video plays from the playhead (auto-stops at the end of the timeline), or import an audio file.
  • Music: import an audio file (mp3/wav/m4a/ogg/flac/…). Looping, trim-to-video, fades and volume are per-layer.

Both kinds get their own lane on the timeline (green/amber pills) with the same drag/resize/select/copy/paste/delete affordances as every other lane, and a new inspector pane: volume (−60…+12 dB), mute, start offset, fade in/out, and looping for music.

Audio assets are first-class in the document (kind: "audio", additive — no schema-version bump) and never claim the primary-asset slot.

Export: the native pipeline has no extra-audio-track concept, so layers join the existing post-export mix path (voiceoverMix.ts, previously CLI-only): after the native export, the renderer re-renders the audio track (original bed + every layer, with gain/offset/fades/looping) via OfflineAudioContext and re-muxes with mediabunny — video packets copied untouched. GIF exports are unaffected.

Known v1 limitation (documented in code): speed regions are ignored when positioning layers, so a layer plays at 1× under a sped-up stretch.

Not captured yet — two new lanes (voiceover / music) sit below the existing five lanes on the timeline; the add-flow dialog offers Record voiceover / Import audio file (music goes straight to the file picker).

Testing

  • npx tsc --noEmit and npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit — clean for this change.
  • npm run lint — clean (remaining warnings pre-existing in untouched test files).
  • npm run i18n:check — all 13 locales pass.
  • npx vitest --run <file> while working; npm run test once at the end: 2192 passed, 0 failed.
  • New tests: schema (audio region/asset), useTimeline.addAudioRegion (anchor, span, payload, refusal of unknown assets), DocumentService audio-asset import + primaryAssetId rules + cascade on remove, planLayerIterations/planLayerGain, buildExportTimelineMapping/rawToExportTime (trim projection), layerSourcePosition/layerVolumeAt, V/B shortcut bindings; documentWriteAudit updated for the two new gesture writes.
  • npm run build-vite builds cleanly.
  • Manual smoke test on real macOS/Windows (record voiceover with the mic, preview, export, verify mixed audio) is still required — native capture paths were not touched, but the recording/export flows are interactive and cannot be fully covered by unit tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added voiceover recording and audio-file import for music and voiceover layers.
    • Added timeline lanes with placement, trimming, looping, fades, gain, mute, and deletion controls.
    • Added keyboard shortcuts: V for voiceover and B for music.
    • Audio layers now play during editing and are included in MP4 exports.
    • Added support for common audio formats and localized audio controls across supported languages.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Removing an audio asset now also removes its associated timeline ranges.

Audio regions (voiceover / background music) join zoom/annotation as
clip-anchored timeline modifiers: {clipId, sourceStartSec, sourceEndSec}
is the source of truth, startMs/endMs the derived ruler cache, so layers
travel with their clip through reorder/trim (rederiveRegionMs). Assets
gain an "audio" kind — additive, no schema-version bump, and only video
imports claim the primary-asset slot. RegionKind gains "audio"; removal
cascades like every other kind.
DocumentService.addAsset accepts audio files (mp3/wav/m4a/ogg/flac/…)
with an explicit caller-side kind hint, so an ambiguous container (a
recorded voiceover is .webm, like a screen recording) is filed as audio
instead of video. New IPC: open-audio-file-picker (audio filters) and
save-recorded-voiceover (writes the MediaRecorder blob under the
recordings dir). read-binary-file's approval gate now covers audio
extensions so the export post-pass can read layer assets. Removing an
asset drops the layers that played it.
Two new lanes (voiceover, music) with drag/resize pills, V/B shortcuts
(remappable, advertised by the empty-lane hints), and toolbar buttons
that open the add flow: record a voiceover live from the mic (video
plays along so you can narrate what you see, auto-stops at the end of
the timeline) or import an audio file. The inspector edits volume,
mute, start offset, fades and music looping. A headless playback
component plays the layers against the timeline clock, synced to the
preview. Strings shipped in all 13 locales.
The native pipeline has no extra-audio-track concept, so layers join the
CLI's post-export mix path: after exportMultiNative writes the MP4, the
editor renders a new audio track (original bed + every layer at its
projected export-time position, with gain, offset, fades and looping)
via OfflineAudioContext and re-muxes it with mediabunny — video packets
copied untouched. Ruler spans are projected onto the assembled
(trim-compressed) timeline first; speed regions are deliberately
ignored, so a layer plays at 1x under a sped-up stretch (documented
v1 limitation). GIF exports are unaffected.
The store's addAsset forwards the caller's kind (audio-layer imports
pass "audio") so the renderer and main process agree on what a file
is, instead of the main process guessing from the extension.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds voiceover and music layers to the AI editor. It introduces audio assets and timeline regions, recording and import flows, synchronized playback, inspector and timeline controls, MP4 export mixing, clipboard support, shortcuts, localization, and related tests.

Changes

Audio layer support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Audio document model and timeline actions
src/lib/ai-edition/schema/index.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/document/timeline.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/useTimeline.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/timeline/duration.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/regionClipboard.ts
Documents now include audioRanges. Audio assets and regions have validated schemas. Timeline actions create, update, move, select, copy, paste, and remove audio regions.
Audio asset import and recording bridge
electron/..., src/native/...
Audio extensions pass import validation. Electron IPC supports audio file selection and recorded voiceover storage. Asset kind information passes through the native bridge.
Audio layer creation and timeline editing
src/components/ai-edition/AudioLayersPlayback.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/AddAudioLayerDialog.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/V4Timeline.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/FloatingInspector.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx
The editor supports voiceover recording, music import, audio lanes, drag and resize operations, gain, mute, fades, offsets, looping, deletion, and synchronized playback.
Audio timeline mapping and MP4 mixing
src/lib/exporter/audioLayerTimeline.ts, src/lib/exporter/voiceoverMix.ts, src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.tsx
Audio regions map from raw timeline positions to exported positions and mix into MP4 output with gain, fades, offsets, looping, and muting.
Shortcuts and localized controls
src/lib/shortcuts.ts, src/i18n/locales/*, src/components/ai-edition/v4/EditorShellV4.module.css
Voiceover and music shortcuts use V and B. Localized labels, hints, dialogs, controls, and lane styles are added.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 156e4

This PR adds microphone recording, persistent audio assets, timeline playback, and MP4 mixing, but the current implementation still has merge-blocking correctness and security risks: recording teardown can leave the microphone active or associate canceled data with a later session, the recording save path accepts unbounded renderer data, and unresolved asset, schema, and export cases can corrupt or silently omit audio. Fixes are needed before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@electron/ai-edition/document-service.ts`:
- Around line 380-383: Update the deletion logic near withoutAssetClips and
primaryAssetId so it selects the first remaining video asset rather than
assets[0], or undefined when none remain. Preserve primaryAssetId as video-only
and ensure later imports are not blocked by a retained audio asset.

In `@electron/ipc/handlers.ts`:
- Around line 3649-3652: Update the audio file filter in the
dialog.showOpenDialog configuration to remove leading dots from
ALLOWED_IMPORT_AUDIO_EXTENSIONS before assigning the values to
FileFilter.extensions, using extension.slice(1) while preserving the existing
filter name and supported extensions.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/AudioLayersPlayback.tsx`:
- Around line 62-64: Update the looping calculation in the playback position
helper to wrap within the available duration after region.offset, using
sourceDurationSec minus offset as the modulo span. Handle offsets at or beyond
sourceDurationSec without invalid modulo behavior, preserve non-looping
behavior, and add coverage for a nonzero offset with loop enabled.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/ExportDialog.tsx`:
- Around line 376-389: Update the export flow surrounding readBinaryFile and
mixAudioLayersIntoVideo so an unsuccessful or missing completed MP4 read throws
an export error instead of allowing success without audio mixing. Preserve
best-effort handling only for missing individual layer assets, and retain the
existing writeExportToPath error handling.
- Around line 364-373: Update the export logic around layerInputs.push to split
each audio range at every ExportMappingSegment boundary, creating one mixer
input per intersection with mapped start/end times and a source offset advanced
by that intersection’s raw-ruler displacement. Apply fadeInMs and fadeOutMs only
to intersections touching the original range boundaries; intermediate segments
must not retain them. Add an export test covering a layer spanning a middle trim
and verify the resulting inputs preserve the separated source ranges.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/v4/AddAudioLayerDialog.tsx`:
- Around line 180-184: Update AudioLayersPlayback to preserve blob: URLs by
bypassing toFileUrl for them, matching NewEditorShell’s normalization rule
before constructing Audio. Keep existing toFileUrl conversion for non-blob asset
paths.

In `@src/i18n/locales/it/timeline.json`:
- Line 100: Update the Italian timeline locale’s chooseMusic label from “Scegli
file musicale” to the natural wording “Scegli un file musicale” or “Scegli
musica”.

In `@src/lib/ai-edition/schema/index.ts`:
- Line 163: Update assetSchema and schema versioning so persisted version 7
documents retain their previous kind contract: either keep v7 restricted to the
video literal and introduce a new version for audio, or increment the schema
version and explicitly reject incompatible v7 documents. Ensure parsing never
silently treats an audio asset as valid under the existing v7 schema.

In `@src/lib/ai-edition/store/regionClipboard.ts`:
- Around line 14-16: Update pasteRegion to validate copied audio regions before
adding them to doc.audioRanges: reject any snapshot whose assetId is not present
in the destination doc.assets, while preserving valid audio pastes. Add a
cross-project paste test covering an unavailable asset.

In `@src/lib/ai-edition/store/useTimeline.ts`:
- Around line 446-485: Update addAudioRegion to read the current document from
useProjectStore.getState() inside the callback before validating assetId and
constructing the next document, rather than using the stale document captured by
the closure; preserve the existing save and selection behavior and adjust
dependencies only as needed.
- Around line 452-471: Update the audio-region creation flow around
anchorRegionsWithDerivedMs to reject requests when no overlapping clip anchor is
produced, rather than saving the raw region. Ensure unanchored audioRange values
are never persisted; only save an anchored region whose span overlaps a timeline
clip.

In `@src/lib/exporter/voiceoverMix.ts`:
- Around line 258-261: Update the fade-in envelope logic around the layer event
planning so fade-ins whose duration is equal to or longer than the layer span
still produce a ramp ending at endSec instead of leaving the layer silent.
Either schedule the terminal ramp at the layer end or constrain the fade
duration before creating events, and add coverage for fadeInMs >= (endSec -
startSec).

In `@src/native/browserShim.ts`:
- Around line 422-442: Update the browser-shim removeAsset path to filter out
audioRanges whose assetId matches the asset being removed, mirroring the cleanup
behavior in DocumentService while preserving unrelated ranges and assets.

Keep primaryAssetId video-only after deletion.

When an audio asset remains before the primary video, deleting that video assigns assets[0]?.id at Lines 366-369. This persists an audio asset as primaryAssetId. A later video import will also not replace that invalid primary asset.

Select the first remaining video asset, or undefined.

Proposed fix
 const primaryAssetId =
 	doc.project.primaryAssetId === assetId
-		? (assets[0]?.id ?? undefined)
+		? assets.find((asset) => asset.kind === "video")?.id

🌐 Web query:

For Electron 41.2.1, does dialog.showOpenDialog FileFilter.extensions accept values with leading dots such as ".mp3"?

💡 Result:

No, the extensions array in the FileFilter object for Electron's dialog.showOpenDialog does not accept values with leading dots [1][2][3]. According to official Electron documentation, the extensions array should contain only the extension names themselves without wildcards or leading dots [1][3]. For example, you should use 'mp3' rather than '.mp3' or '*.mp3' [1][3]. Including a leading dot is explicitly noted as incorrect usage [1][2][3].

Pass dotless extensions to dialog.showOpenDialog.

ALLOWED_IMPORT_AUDIO_EXTENSIONS contains values such as ".mp3" and passes them directly to FileFilter.extensions. Electron requires extension names without leading dots, so this filter may omit supported audio files. Map each extension with extension.slice(1).

Split each audio range at export-mapping boundaries.

Lines 366-367 map only the range endpoints. A trim inside a range is non-contiguous. For example, a 0..10 layer with a 4..6 trim becomes one 0..8 input with offset 0, so the mixer plays source audio 0..8 instead of 0..4 followed by 6..10.

Intersect each range with every ExportMappingSegment. Schedule one mixer input per intersection. Advance its source offset by the intersection's raw-ruler displacement. Preserve fades only at the original range boundaries. Add an export test for a layer that spans a middle trim.

Fail the export when the completed MP4 cannot be read.

If readBinaryFile(pickedPath) returns an unsuccessful result, Lines 376-389 skip audio mixing and still report a successful export. The saved MP4 then has no audio layers.

Throw an export error when the completed MP4 cannot be read. Keep the existing best-effort behavior only for missing individual layer assets.

Reject audio snapshots whose assetId is absent from the destination document.

The module-level clipboard survives loadProject. pasteRegion spreads the copied audio region, including assetId, into doc.audioRanges and saves it without checking doc.assets. Playback then skips the layer, and MP4 export omits it from the audio mix. Scope audio snapshots to a project or reject them. Add a cross-project paste test.

Read fresh store state before adding an audio region.

finishWithPath awaits addAsset and then calls the onComplete callback from the render that started the import. This callback reaches an addAudioRegion closure whose document predates the new asset. Line 449 then returns early because that document does not contain assetId.

A normal import or recording can add the asset but never create its audio layer. Read useProjectStore.getState().document inside this callback, as updateAudioRegion and updateAudioSpan already do.

Do not save an audio region without a clip anchor.

When no clip overlaps the requested span, anchorRegionsWithDerivedMs returns the raw region. The audio flow can open with no clips or with the playhead at the timeline end. This saves an unanchored audioRange that cannot follow a clip and can sit outside playable timeline time.

Reject this request, or constrain its span to an overlapping clip before saving it.

Handle fade-ins that consume the full layer span.

If fadeInMs is equal to or longer than the layer span, Line 259 omits the only ramp after Line 258 sets gain to zero. The layer then exports as silence.

Generate a ramp that ends at endSec, or constrain the fade duration before planning the envelope. Add a case for fadeInMs >= (endSec - startSec).

Remove browser-shim audio ranges with their assets.

After browser mode saves an audio layer, removeAsset retains audioRanges that reference the deleted asset. The document then persists a dangling layer while playback skips it because its asset path no longer exists.

Filter audio ranges by assetId in the browser-shim removal path, as electron/ai-edition/document-service.ts does.

- A non-looping layer whose file runs out before its span now holds
  silent instead of replaying its head in a 60 Hz restart loop, and a
  looping layer folds over the post-offset window so it stays in phase
  with the export mix.
- The music dialog's auto-import is guarded against re-firing on parent
  re-renders (inline onComplete churns on every playhead tick), which
  re-opened the native picker and could add duplicate layers.
- Inspector slider drafts follow external region edits (undo/redo).
- The export says so instead of silently dropping layers when a layer
  file or the exported file cannot be read back for the mix.

synchronization logic around layerSourcePosition so valid looping regions with
offsets below sourceDuration are never marked exhausted; only non-looping
regions or looping regions with offsets at or beyond sourceDuration should pause

has no corresponding asset before filtering them out. Increment
missingLayerFiles and emit the existing unreadable-asset warning for each

Do not mark valid looping playback as exhausted.

When region.loop is true and its offset is within sourceDuration, layerSourcePosition wraps target through the valid source range. The exhausted check still pauses the element during the final 30 ms of each loop, which can drop audio until the next tick.

Limit exhausted to non-looping regions and looping regions whose offset is at or beyond the source duration. Add a regression test in src/components/ai-edition/AudioLayersPlayback.test.ts.

Count unresolved audio asset references before filtering.

audioRegionSchema does not require assetId to match an entry in assets. The browser shim's removeAsset removes only the asset, so it can leave orphaned audioRanges. ExportDialog.tsx filters these ranges out before missingLayerFiles is incremented, which omits audio without a warning. Count unresolved references before filtering, or handle missing assets in the loop.

Prevent a cancelled music picker from reopening after a parent rerender.

When openAudioFilePicker returns without a file, importFile clears pickerOpenRef.current and leaves the dialog open. A later NewEditorShell rerender recreates the inline onComplete, which recreates importFile and reruns the auto-open effect. The effect can then open a second native picker.

Track whether the picker auto-opened during the current open session. Reset that state only when the dialog closes. Keep manual picker retries available. Add a same-package interaction test for cancellation, parent rerender, and no second picker.

Thanks for this — it is a lot of careful work, and the recording flow especially. I have to open with the awkward part, though, and I would rather say it now than after you have put more into it.

This overlaps #502, which has been open since before this one and has already been through review. 78 of your 88 files are also touched there. Both add kind: "audio" assets, an audio lane, preview playback and export mixing. Only one can land, and I am keeping #502 as the base — it came first, and its export path is in the right place (see below).

But your positioning model is the better one, and I would like to keep it. #502 places audio at an absolute raw-timeline second; yours anchors a region to its clip, so it travels through reorder, trim and delete instead of sitting still while the content slides underneath. That is the part worth salvaging, and it is cheap: the anchor machinery is already on main and already generic over {id, startMs, endMs}anchorRawRegionsToClips, anchorRegionsWithDerivedMs, coalesceRegionsForRuler, patchPillById, replacePillSpan in timeline/timelineMap.ts, plus rederiveAnchoredRegion and mapAllRegionCollections in document/timeline.ts. Your whole integration is about fifteen lines: the ...clipAnchorShape spread in audioRegionSchema, an audioRanges branch in mapAllRegionCollections, and the RegionKind / removeRegion cases.

So the ask is to pivot rather than to close: rebase onto #502 and bring the anchoring across, keeping #502's document shape and its native mixer. Concretely that is audioTrackSchema restated as {startMs, endMs, ...clipAnchorShape, offsetMs, gainDb, …}, the audioTracks branch added to mapAllRegionCollections, most of #502's hand-rolled array helpers in document/audioTracks.ts deleted in favour of the pill helpers, and its per-track lane replaced by coalesceRegionsForRuler pills. Roughly 400-600 lines across five files — far less than either PR, since almost none of your 2500 is the anchor model.

Two things I want to be straight about, because they cut against the pivot as much as for it.

First, I had assumed the anchor model would fix the three bugs review found in #502 — a preview/export desync across trims, speed regions retiming audio only in the preview, and an export projection that disagrees with resolveVisibleClips. I checked each against your code and it fixes none of them; all three are reproduced here, the last one in a third copy of resolvePlaybackSegments living in src/lib/exporter/. The anchor decides where the pill sits, not how the media inside it advances. So the pivot is worth doing for reorder/trim survival, not because it clears the existing bugs — those still need fixing on top, ideally by deriving the mapping from resolveVisibleClips instead of a private copy.

Second, the anchor model brings a problem of its own that neither PR has solved, and it is the piece to budget for — see the comment on schema/index.ts.

I am also flagging the export path: I would keep #502's native mixing rather than the post-export re-render and re-mux here, for the memory, cancellation and failure-reporting reasons in the ExportDialog.tsx comment.

Happy to talk it through before you touch anything — and sorry the duplication was not caught earlier, that is on us for not flagging #502 more visibly.

On lines outside the diff:

electron/ai-edition/document-service.ts:366addAsset is correctly guarded so an audio import never claims the primary slot, but removeAsset still does primaryAssetId = assets[0]?.id with no kind filter.

Import music, then delete the only video asset, and primaryAssetId points at an mp3 — after which ExportDialog's primaryAsset, the aspect-ratio picker and the "add a video before exporting" guard all read an audio file as a video, and buildSceneDescription gets a screenPath with no video stream.

Same predicate as the add path fixes it: assets.find(a => a.kind === "video")?.id.

async (kind: "voiceover" | "music", assetId: string, durationSec = DEFAULT_NEW_REGION_SEC) => {
if (!document) return;
if (!document.assets.some((a) => a.id === assetId)) return;
const timeMs = Math.round(playheadSec() * 1000);

A recorded voiceover lands one full take-length to the right of where it was recorded.

handleVoiceoverRecordingStart starts playback when recording begins, so currentTimeSec advances for the whole take. When it stops, handleAudioLayerReady calls addAudioRegion, which reads playheadSec() live — by then the playhead has moved by the take duration.

Park at 0:00, record 10s of narration: the region is created at 0:10-0:20. Every recorded voiceover is misplaced by its own length, so the headline gesture needs the pill dragged back by hand every time. The playhead at record start wants capturing in openAudioLayerFlow (which already computes maxDurationSec there) and threading through.

This is the structural cost of the anchor model on continuous media, and the part nobody has written yet.

anchorRawRegionsToClips ventilates a span into per-clip fragments and copies the payload verbatim, so a music layer at raw [5s,15s] with offsetMs: 2000 and 500ms fades becomes two regions that each start the source at 2s and each fade in and out. Export emits one AudioLayerMixInput per region and the preview mounts one <audio> per region, so a bed spanning a cut audibly restarts and dips at every boundary.

The anchor model was built for value-per-span effects, where splitting is semantically neutral; media is not. Each fragment needs its offsetMs advanced by the elapsed source time, or a coalesce step before render. Worth noting this is easier on #502's native mixer — it already takes {path, startSec, gainDb, trimStartSec, trimEndSec} per entry, so an advanced trimStartSec per fragment falls straight out.

This is why I would keep #502's native mixing rather than the post-export pass.

After a successful native export the renderer reads the whole MP4 back through IPC, blobs it, takes a second arrayBuffer() copy, decodeAudioDatas the entire file, renders an OfflineAudioContext buffer (~230MB for 10 minutes at 48kHz stereo), decodes each layer's source once per fragment, and holds the remuxed output in a BufferTarget before a final copy back through IPC. A 30-minute 1080p export is multi-GB peak in the renderer.

Three behaviours around it worry me more than the memory:

  • cancelRef is never consulted in this block and handleClose refuses to close during writing, so a long mix cannot be aborted.
  • progress is frozen at the last render value for the whole pass, so it looks hung.
  • If mixAudioLayersIntoVideo throws, the catch reports "Export failed" even though the native export already wrote a complete file to pickedPath. And if readBinaryFile(pickedPath) returns !success the whole block is skipped silently and the export is reported as a success with no layers and no warning.

buildExportTimelineMapping walks document.timeline.clips unfiltered, but the exported programme is resolveVisibleClips(document), which additionally drops clips whose asset has no resolvable originalPath.

So a project with one relinked-away asset renders N-1 clips while the mapping counts N, and every layer after the missing clip is late by that clip's full duration. The unprobed-clip branch diverges too: this falls back to clip.sourceEndSec ?? clip.sourceStartSec, while buildNativeClipList uses resolveClipSourceEndSec with its probe/duration/guess precedence.

It is also a near-line-for-line reimplementation of resolvePlaybackSegments (document/timeline.ts:163), which makes it the third copy of that projection in the tree — main has the original, #502 added projectRawTimelineSecToPlayback, this adds a fourth clock in the exporter package. Whichever PR lands, deriving the audio mapping from resolveVisibleClips rather than alongside it is about five lines and removes the class.

if (fadeOutSec > 0) {
const fadeStart = Math.max(layer.startSec, layer.endSec - fadeOutSec);
events.push({ atSec: fadeStart, value: scalar, ramp: true });
events.push({ atSec: layer.endSec, value: 0 });

planLayerGain's final event {atSec: endSec, value: 0} carries no ramp, so renderLayeredAudio calls setValueAtTime(0, endSec) — an instantaneous step. The preceding ramp event only re-asserts the value the gain already holds, so fadeOutMs produces a hard cut in the exported mix while the preview (layerVolumeAt) does ramp down.

voiceoverMix.test.ts:82 asserts exactly this event list, so the test currently locks the behaviour in.

Same function: if fadeInMs is at least the layer span, the startSec + fadeInSec < endSec guard skips the ramp-up entirely and the gain stays at 0 — a 0.5s layer with a 1s fade-in exports silent.

Two things in the music flow.

The auto-open effect depends on busy, and on the import-failure path onComplete is never called, so open stays true while busy flips back to false — the effect re-runs and re-opens the OS picker immediately. As long as the import keeps failing that is an unclosable loop.

Separately, the [open] cleanup stops the MediaStream tracks and nulls recorderRef but never calls recorder.stop(). If the dialog unmounts mid-recording (project close, shell teardown) the take is never flushed, onRecordingStop never fires, and the video element is left playing.

Thanks for taking the time to lay this out — the duplication is genuinely
better to hear now than after another round, and no hard feelings about
#502 not being flagged earlier.

Agreed on the pivot, and it's done: #561. Closing this one in favour of
it.

One thing to flag before you open it. It is based on #502, so it carries
@Beetix's 27 commits as well as our 14 — merging it lands #502 too, and it
needs both of you. I went that way because #502 was conflicting with main,
so a PR stacked on it had nowhere to go; #561 resolves those conflicts and
is green. If you would rather land #502 on its own first, say the word and
I will rebase #561 down to just our commits and re-target.

The anchoring itself — the part you actually asked for — is 458 lines
across 12 files
excluding locales and tests, inside your 400-600 estimate.
It is the first commit, eb6c4ab, if you want to read that alone.

On the export path: you're right and I've dropped mine. The post-export
re-render/re-mux is gone entirely in favour of #502's native mixing — along
with the read-back, the OfflineAudioContext, the un-abortable writing
phase and the frozen progress bar. That also retires the fourth copy of
resolvePlaybackSegments you found; the audio projection now goes through
#502's projectRawTimelineSecToPlayback.

One correction on that last point, though. I couldn't derive the mapping
from resolveVisibleClips as suggested: it returns the trim-COMPRESSED
segments, and projectRawTimelineSecToPlayback subtracts the trims itself,
so feeding it those would apply them twice. #502 already passes the right
thing (raw clips filtered by resolvable originalPath). What was genuinely
duplicated was the path-resolvability rule, so I extracted that as one
predicate both sides call — same class of bug closed, one level down from
where you pointed.

The schema/index.ts problem is solved. You were right that the anchor
model brings it and that neither PR had done it. anchorAudioTrackFragments
now advances each fragment's offsetMs by the source time its predecessors
consumed, keeps fadeInMs on the first fragment and fadeOutMs on the last,
and exempts looping tracks (they fold within duration - offset, which every
fragment shares — advancing there would drift them out of phase with the
mix). Fragments carry a shared trackId: the lane collapses them to one
pill, the inspector edits the group, delete takes the group. Covered in
document/audioTracks.test.ts, including the round trip.

You were also right that it falls out more easily on #502's model — an
advanced per-fragment window is exactly what the mixer already takes.

Your two inline findings that were new to me, both fixed:

  • The voiceover landing one take-length late. Confirmed exactly as you
    described. The shell now captures the playhead when recording starts
    (and re-captures on Record, since the user can scrub after opening the
    dialog) instead of reading it live at the end.
  • The [open] cleanup never calling recorder.stop(). Also confirmed —
    unmounting mid-take dropped the blob and left the video playing. It now
    stops the recorder and discards, since nobody is left to place the layer.

The other three had already been fixed on #526 in two commits pushed after
the snapshot you reviewed (156e407), so they may read as still-open on
your side: the primaryAssetId kind filter — with the exact predicate you
suggested — the fadeOutMs hard cut, and the fade-in-longer-than-span
silence. The fade rules survived the pivot as a single resolveFadeSecs
shared by the preview and mirrored by resolve_fade_samples in
audio.rs, so the two sides can't disagree about how an over-long fade
gets reduced.

One thing worth weighing. #502 is import-only — no microphone recording
anywhere in it — and its audioTrackSchema has no fades, loop or mute. So
that part of #526 isn't duplicated work, it's additive. It is kept in
separate commits after the anchoring so you can take, defer or drop it
independently:

  1. 518f125 — fades / loop / mute: schema, inspector, preview, and a fade
    envelope in overlay_track_pcm;
  2. 2c62010 — voiceover recording: V, the save IPC, and the two bugs you
    found.

The 78-of-88 file overlap is real, but mostly locale and test files.

Two things that came out of wiring those up:

  • mix_external_tracks clamps per-track gain at ±12 dB, but that's the
    project output trim's range; the track schema's own is -60..+12. Every
    quiet bed was floored at a tenth of the attenuation asked for. Widened,
    with a test — the existing clamp test covers finish_audio, which is a
    different path and still bounded at ±12.
  • Fades reach the compositor as fadeInSec/fadeOutSec and are applied by
    a new envelope in overlay_track_pcm, measured against the decoded length
    so a track truncated at the programme end doesn't ramp down over audio the
    render never reaches.

Speed regions no longer drag audio with them. I had meant to leave this
as the documented approximation, but it is only reachable BECAUSE we are
adding audio, so it belonged here rather than in a follow-up. Not through
playbackRate — the preview pins that at 1x — but through position: the raw
playhead races under a speed region and the projection raced the target
position with it. Same in the render, where the programme is time-stretched
before mix_external_tracks overlays onto it, so every track after a region
landed late.

projectRawTimelineSecToPlayback now models speed, so the preview and the
render move together. Length and position are measured differently on
purpose: a trim REMOVES time, so a track buried in one is dropped and one
crossing a cut loses what the cut took; a speed region only COMPRESSES, so
4s of narration under a 2x region is still 4s of narration. Measuring length
on the compressed clock silently halved it — the same complaint in a
different disguise.

Per-track speed control I have deliberately NOT added. S stays a video
control; this is only about it no longer reaching somewhere it was never
meant to. Worth a follow-up issue if you want it.

A device pass also turned up a handful of real bugs, all fixed and listed in
the PR body — the one worth naming here is that a track sitting inside a
trimmed stretch still played, because its head was projected onto the
compressed programme while its length came off the raw ruler.

State: green — 2356 JS tests, 186 compositor tests, plus lint, both
typechecks, docs:check, i18n and the vite build. Smoke-tested on macOS
(arm64): recording against a playing video, import, drag and edge-trim,
looping, reorder/trim survival, overlapping takes, and an MP4 export
listened back for placement, gain and fades.

@Beetix — sorry to arrive on top of your branch like this. Nothing of yours
is changed except where the anchoring required it, and #561 says plainly
that the bulk of it is your work. Very happy to re-cut it however you two
prefer.

Happy to jump on a call if that's faster than another round here.

@olamide226 no hard feelings! From what I understood, there are some improvements that can be added on top (like the positioning) of my changes so it's for the best! Let me know if there's any action needed on my end. Looking forward to having this super handy new feature merged

EtienneLescot pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 2, 2026
Brings #526's clip-anchoring model onto #502, per review on #526. #502
keeps its document shape, its native mixer and its output-space preview;
audio tracks stop floating at an absolute raw second and travel with the
content they were placed over through reorder, trim and delete.

- `audioTrackSchema` restated on the v5 clip-anchor contract:
  `{startMs, endMs, ...clipAnchorShape, offsetMs, gainDb, …}`. `offsetMs`
  replaces the `trimStartSec`/`trimEndSec` pair — the track's own span
  already says where it stops, so the tail trim no longer needs storing
  twice.
- `audioTracks` joins `mapAllRegionCollections`, `RegionKind` and
  `removeRegion`, so every structural clip edit re-derives audio the way it
  already re-derives zoom and annotation, and a track can be copied and
  pasted like any other pill.
- `document/audioTracks.ts` drops its hand-rolled array ops for the shared
  pill helpers; the lane renders `collapseTracksToPills` instead of one row
  per stored track.

The fragment problem, which the review called out as unsolved in both PRs:

`anchorRawRegionsToClips` copies a region's payload verbatim into each
fragment. That is right for value-per-span effects — both halves of a split
zoom are still "depth 3" — and wrong for continuous media: two fragments
each holding `offsetMs: 2000` both restart the file two seconds in, so a bed
spanning a cut audibly restarts at the boundary.

`anchorAudioTrackFragments` advances each fragment's `offsetMs` by the
source time its predecessors consumed, so the pieces play as one continuous
take. Fragments share a `trackId`: the lane collapses them to one pill, the
inspector edits the group, and delete takes the group.

Also folds the path-resolvability rule that decides which clips make the
programme into one predicate shared by `resolveVisibleClips` and the audio
projection, rather than two copies that could disagree — the review's
`audioLayerTimeline.ts` point, landed one level down from where it pointed:
`resolveVisibleClips` returns trim-COMPRESSED segments, and
`projectRawTimelineSecToPlayback` subtracts the trims itself, so feeding it
those would apply them twice.

The one audio gesture #502 has no equivalent of: it is import-only. Music
and other files keep coming in through the toolbar's `addAudio` file
import, so this dialog exists only for recording, which has live state to
show.

- `save-recorded-voiceover` IPC writes the MediaRecorder blob under the
  recordings dir, so a take outlives the session like any other asset.
  Capped at 512 MB — this writes renderer-supplied bytes straight to disk,
  and an hour of Opus is a few tens of MB, so the cap refuses a runaway
  payload without ever being reachable by a real take.
- `V` records a voiceover from the playhead. The video plays while the take
  runs so the user can narrate what they see, and recording stops itself at
  the end of the timeline.

Two bugs the review found in this flow on #526, both fixed rather than
carried over:

- Every take landed one full take-length to the right of where it was
  spoken. Recording plays the video, so the live playhead advances for the
  whole take, and placement read it at the END. The shell now captures the
  playhead when recording STARTS — and re-captures on Record, since the user
  may scrub after opening the dialog.
- Tearing the dialog down mid-take (project close, shell unmount) stopped
  the microphone stream but never the recorder, so `onstop` never fired: the
  take was dropped and the video element left playing. The cleanup now stops
  the recorder and discards the blob, since nobody is left to place it.

Closing this as superseded by your own #561, which is now the base of #569.

You were asked on 08-29 to pivot rather than close: rebase onto #502 and bring the clip-anchoring across. You did exactly that, and #561 is the result — so this PR is retired by its own follow-up, not by someone else's work.

The idea this PR contributed is the one that decided the architecture: audio as a clip-anchored region rather than a free-floating track, so a bed travels with its clip through reorder, trim and delete instead of sitting still while the content slides underneath. That is what #569 ships.

And the structural cost this PR's review flagged — that ventilation copies a region's payload verbatim, so two fragments of one bed each restart the file at the same offset — is solved in #561 by anchorAudioTrackFragments, which advances each fragment's offset by the source time its predecessors consumed. That was the piece nobody had written; it is written now.

See #561 for the continuation, and #569 for where it lands.
