Summary
A bare <Audio src={...} /> placed at the root of a <Composition> (no endAt prop, no wrapping <Sequence>) causes the renderer to emit duration=Infinity into the ffmpeg atrim filter, which crashes the render.
Reproduction
// MyChapter.tsx
import { CanvasElement, Audio, staticFile } from '@rendiv/core';
export const CHAPTER_DURATION = 3814;
export const MyChapter = () => (
<CanvasElement id="MyChapter">
<Audio src={staticFile('audio/chapter.mp3')} />
{/* ...other content sized to CHAPTER_DURATION... */}
</CanvasElement>
);
// index.tsx
<Composition
id=\"MyChapter\"
component={MyChapter}
durationInFrames={CHAPTER_DURATION}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
/>
Run:
rendiv render src/index.tsx MyChapter out/MyChapter.mp4
Actual
FFmpeg exited with code 234:
[Parsed_atrim_0 @ 0x...] Unable to parse option value \"Infinity\" as duration
Error applying option 'duration' to filter 'atrim': Invalid argument
Failed to set value '[1:a]atrim=start=0.000000:duration=Infinity,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS[aout]'
for option 'filter_complex': Invalid argument
Expected
The renderer should treat `` without an explicit `endAt` as bounded by the parent composition's `durationInFrames` — same behavior as Remotion.
Workaround
Explicitly pass `endAt`:
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile('audio/chapter.mp3')} endAt={CHAPTER_DURATION} />
```
This works, but every chapter master in the project needed the same one-line fix, and the failure mode (`duration=Infinity` from ffmpeg) was very far from the cause.
Suggested fixes (any one would help; all three would be ideal)
-
Default `endAt` to composition duration. When `` has no `endAt` and no wrapping ``, treat it as `endAt = compositionDurationInFrames`.
-
Guard the filter-graph emitter. Before serializing `atrim=duration=${value}`, `assert(Number.isFinite(value))` and throw with a useful message, e.g.:
`Audio src="..." resolved to infinite duration. Pass endAt={N} or wrap in .`
-
Mount-time lint. Walk the composition tree once and warn for any `` / `
Environment
