After Effects' Interpret Footage has Start Timecode: Use Source File
Timecode, or Override Start, which changes the timecode the footage
shows and leaves its frames alone. The Start Frame field that trimmed or
padded a sequence's head isn't in After Effects, so it is replaced.
Footage.start_timecode (Override Start, in frames at the footage's
rate; None = Use Source, 0 as file timecode isn't read) relabels source
time: the Footage panel's current time and footage.info's `timecode`
count from it. file.interpretFootage takes `overrideStart` and
`startTimecode` (timecode, read at the footage's rate after any frame
rate change, or a frame number, 0 to 1e9). It applies to every footage
with time, not only sequences, and Reload keeps it. A sequence's frames
always run from its first file's number to its last.
Test: start_timecode_only_relabels_source_time (project),
interpret_footage_start_timecode_relabels_source_time (engine: the
reply, the Footage panel's timecode, frame numbers, Use Source, the
footage's rate, bad values, undo), Reload keeps it, and the Interpret
Footage fields in ui_drag_drop.

After Effects shows a missing frame of an image sequence as a
placeholder (colour bars) and has no Hold Previous Frame or Skip choice
in Interpret Footage, so EffectCraft doesn't either.
Interpret Footage loses its Missing Frames field, file.interpretFootage
its missingFrames parameter, and Footage its missing_frames setting. A
gap in a numbered sequence's numbering always shows colour bars. A
sequence imported with Force Alphabetical Order still plays its files
one after another (its numbering doesn't count), as in After Effects;
that is now an internal Footage.alphabetical flag, set on import and
kept by Reload. The Interpret Footage note lists the missing frames.
Projects saved before this have no such field and open with the After
Effects behaviour: a sequence with gaps shows placeholders where it
used to close them up.
Test: project sequence unit tests (placeholders, alphabetical order,
projects saved without the flag), tests_sequence (Start Frame instead
of Hold / Skip), sequence_gaps_show_placeholders (media) and the
Interpret Footage fields in ui_drag_drop.

Image sequences were found only by the desktop media prober: one picked
numbered still brought its whole run, with no way to import just that
frame, picking every frame made one sequence item per frame, the browser
couldn't make sequences at all, and a gap in the numbering closed up
silently.
The engine now groups numbered stills itself (engine/src/sequence.rs):
one picked file brings its run from its folder, several picked files of
one run import as that range, a picked or dropped folder imports its
files with each run as a sequence, and Force Alphabetical Order takes
every image of that type in the folder by name. `file.import` takes
`sequence` (default on), `alphabetical` and `frameRate`; Replace Footage,
Reload, proxies and render outputs probe the same way. The media layer
probes one file; the browser lists its file table for the run and
registers every frame with its media pool.
File > Import > File... asks, like After Effects' "PNG Sequence"
checkbox, whether picked numbered stills import as a sequence, with
Force Alphabetical Order and the frame rate. Sequences are named
`shot_[0001-0250].png`.
Interpret Footage gains Missing Frames (Show Placeholder, colour bars as
in After Effects, the new default; Hold Previous Frame; Skip) and Start
Frame (the frame number at the footage's first frame: trims or pads the
head). Saved projects keep Skip, so their sequences play as before.
Form notes keep a readable width and the form fits its rows, so OK stays
in view. docs/footage.md explains importing footage and sequences.
Test: tests_sequence (engine: run, picked range, every frame, Sequence
off, folder, alphabetical, Interpret Footage Missing Frames / Start
Frame, Replace Footage and Reload), project sequence unit tests,
sequence_gaps_show_placeholders_hold_or_close_up (media),
import_dialog_offers_the_image_sequence_option and
dropped_frames_import_as_one_sequence_with_sequence_interpretation (UI).

Settings > Appearance > UI Scale (appearance.uiScale, 75-200 %, default 100)
scales the whole interface on top of the display's own scaling, live as it is
chosen; Cancel puts it back, OK saves it and a saved scale applies from the
first frame. The Settings dialog's choice rows show a number setting with
choices as its text. Automation id: settings.appearance.uiScale.
egui's own Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- / Ctrl+0 zoom is off now: Ctrl+0 (Window > Project)
also reset the zoom behind the app's back, and the scale is a setting.

As in After Effects, the right end of the Timeline's time ruler has a
composition marker bin (an original icon drawn in code). Dragging out of it
shows a marker following the pointer along the ruler's marker strip, snapping
like a dragged marker (current time, work area, other markers); releasing over
the time ruler's width adds a composition marker there with comp.addMarker (one
"Add Marker" undo step). Dropped back on the bin, nothing is added. The time
graph ends 18 px before the panel edge to leave the bin a column above the
layers' scroll bar. Automation id: timeline.markerBin.
Numpad * (or * typed with Shift+8), the keymap's Add Marker, now works in the
window too: egui has no key for it, so it comes as text.
The marker glyph and colour are shared helpers now (markers, nested markers,
the dragged marker).
Test: ui_timeline_zoom dragging_out_of_the_marker_bin_adds_a_comp_marker.

The in-window menu bar now works from the keyboard as After Effects' does on
Windows: Alt pressed and released on its own focuses the bar, Left / Right move
between its menus and Down, Enter or Space opens one. In an open menu Up / Down
move the highlight (skipping disabled entries, wrapping around), Right opens the
highlighted submenu and Left closes it (on a plain entry they open the next /
previous menu), Enter or Space chooses the entry and Escape closes the menus.
Hovering an entry moves the highlight there, and a highlighted entry scrolls
into view in long menus.
While a menu, context menu or popup list is open, or the bar has the keyboard,
keys go to the menus only: the app's shortcuts don't run (Space started the
preview behind an open menu) and the panels don't see the keys (Enter on an
entry no longer reaches the Project panel's rename).
Tall menus already scroll inside the window since #277 (ui_scrolling's
a_menu_taller_than_the_window_scrolls). F10 stays View > Switch 3D View > Front,
as in After Effects.
Test: ui_menus (shortcuts_wait_while_a_menu_is_open,
arrow_keys_drive_the_menu_bar, enter_chooses_the_highlighted_entry).

EXtractoR's Red, Green, Blue and Alpha are text parameters naming
channels, and Effect Controls drew nothing for text parameters: there
was no way to choose a layer or channel. And a multi-layer OpenEXR file
whose colour is only in named layers (`diffuse.R`, Blender's
`ViewLayer.Combined.R`) didn't import at all: the image decoder wants an
unnamed RGB layer ("does not contain non-deep rgb channels").
- Effect Controls: EXtractoR gets a Layer popup listing the footage's
OpenEXR layers. Picking one sets red, green, blue and alpha to its
channels in one undo step, as After Effects' EXtractoR dialog does (a
one-channel layer such as depth goes in all three colours). Red /
Green / Blue / Alpha are popups of the layer's own R, G, B, A, every
channel of the file, and (none). The lists are read only while open,
so playing an EXR sequence doesn't parse files on the UI thread.
- `layer.channels {layer}` lists a layer's EXR layers and channels and
what each layer shows in red, green, blue and alpha, for agents.
- Media: an EXR without an unnamed RGB layer imports and shows its
colour layer (one named combined, beauty or rgba first); its channels
stay available to EXtractoR and the 3D Channel effects.
- Raster: AuxChannels::layers / layer_rgba and split_channel.
Test: extractor_shows_the_chosen_layer_and_channels_of_a_layered_exr
(host: a layered EXR written with the exr crate imports, layer.channels,
EXtractoR renders spec and depth; it failed to import before),
extractor_offers_the_exr_layers_and_channels (UI: Layer popup, one undo
step, channel popup), layered_exr_without_an_unnamed_rgb_layer_imports
(media).

The Environment light existed (LightKind::Environment) but layer.newLight's help
and the kind errors of layer.newLight and layer.lightSettings listed only
Parallel|Spot|Point|Ambient, so agents could not find it. The help now lists it
and says how to give it an equirectangular image: prop.set
lightOptions/source to that layer's id, or leave it empty for the comp's
Environment Layer (layer.environment). layer.lightSettings documents its kind
values too.
docs/parity.md (3D) notes that Advanced 3D surfaces reflect only the
Environment light and that Appears in Reflections is stored but has no visible
effect yet. Object-to-object reflections stay tracked in #261.
Test: tests_3d::environment_light_is_listed_and_takes_a_source_layer (help and
both kind errors name every LightKind; an Environment light takes a source
layer by id, with undo).

- effectcraft-segment: a FaceModel interface (find a face in a region, follow it; a Topology
maps the model's points to the tracker's landmarks and outline), a TensorFlow Lite reader and
interpreter (float ops, float16 weights folded; matches ai-edge-litert to ~1e-6), and
MediaPipe Face Landmarker (Google, Apache-2.0: BlazeFace + Face Mesh V2, 3.8 MB, pinned
SHA-256). The registry gains a task and authors per model; installed weights get a NOTICE.
- effectcraft-track: FaceTracker::new_with uses the model, falls back to the classical fitter
when it finds no face; chin and jaw come from the outline either way so measurements agree.
- Engine: roto_models becomes models (both tasks); face.models / face.model.* commands,
Settings ▸ Face Tracking, `wait` on select/install/download for scripts; track.mask reports
faceModel.
- Credits: ATTRIBUTION.md lists the optional models and the Apache-2.0 specs the code follows.

- New L1 crate effectcraft-segment: the MaskModel interface (prompts → foreground probability),
a registry of open-licensed models (licence must be MIT/Apache/BSD/…; URL, size, SHA-256),
a PyTorch checkpoint reader (zip + pickle subset), dependency-free SHA-256, and MobileSAM
(TinyViT-5M + SAM prompt encoder / two-way transformer / mask decoder) on rayon and ndarray's
safe GEMM. Loads the official mobile_sam.pt as published; checked against candle
(embedding 0.3% RMS, 99.9% equal mask pixels); ~0.7 s/frame encoder at 32 threads, cached
per frame, ~0.1 s decoder.
- track::roto: segment_with / propagate_with prompt a model with the strokes or the flow-warped
matte (box, core points, mask); its probability is a strong, unblurred prior for the same
graph cut (strokes stay hard constraints); a failing model or one disagreeing with the flow
(IoU < 0.5) is ignored. Prior gets a weight.
- effects::roto: Version 2.0 / 3.0 use the model chosen in Settings (set_model / model_for);
the model id is part of the chain seed.
- engine: roto_models (roto.models, roto.model.select / install / download / remove), weights in
the models folder (host::config_dir()/models, shared by the app, CLI and MCP), background
loading, downloads through the system curl, verified; Settings ▸ Roto Brush page (prefs
roto.model). host::config_dir moved from the desktop app.
- Tests: segment (kernels vs direct sums, checkpoint reader, SHA-256 vectors, registry), track
(fake model: prior shapes the cut, failing / disagreeing models ignored; real weights with
EFFECTCRAFT_MOBILESAM: base IoU 0.989, propagated ≥ 0.980 vs classic 0.973), engine (registry,
verification, selection; real install + load), MCP.

- audio::AudioScrub: an open output that plays a faded snippet (one frame, 30–100 ms) of the
comp's mix at each new frame, replacing what is still queued; holding still repeats nothing.
The mixing is shared with the preview feeder (mix_block); AudioFeed::clear.
- The Timeline ruler: Ctrl/Cmd-drag scrubs audio (EffectcraftApp::scrub_audio opens the output
through the audio device hook on first use). The Audio panel meters follow the snippets; an
idle second closes the output.
- playback.scrubAudio {time?} for agents.
- Tests: ui_audio_scrub (snippet length, fades, same-frame no-op, replace not pile up, silent
comps, Cmd-drag in the ruler, idle close) with a fake device. Docs: parity.

- commands::markers::nested_markers: a precomp layer's comp markers at their times in the
containing comp (start and stretch in closed form; with time remapping or a stretch over
protected regions, the first frame whose source time reaches them), within In–Out.
- markers.nested {layer}: the same list for agents.
- Timeline: drawn on the precomp bar as outlined read-only markers (positions cached per
revision), hover names them, double-click opens the nested comp at the marker; automation id
timeline.layer.<id>.nestedMarker.<i>.
- Tests: engine (start, stretch, trim, time remap, non-precomp error), UI (draw, label, open).
Docs: parity, control protocol.

- PanelKind::Viewer(n): more Composition viewers (panels::viewers). One is active (the full
interactive viewer, showing the active comp); the others show their own comp's frame at that
comp's current time (CPU or GPU frames, their own textures) and become active on a click or
their tab, their comp becoming the active comp.
- view.newViewer (View menu, the Composition panel menu, Alt+Shift+N): a new viewer of the
active comp next to the one in use, which is locked. Opening a comp while the active viewer
is locked shows it in an unlocked viewer, or a new one when every viewer is locked. Closing
the active viewer hands over to another with its comp. Tabs are named after their comp, with
their own lock and swatch; Preview full screen maximizes the active viewer.
- UI state: viewers (comp per viewer) and active_viewer (serde).
- Tests: ui_viewers (lock on New Viewer, routing, click to activate, all locked → new viewer,
close hand-over, tab titles; an ignored snapshot). The bounded-drag frames test asserts what
holds when freed addresses are reused. Docs: parity, control protocol.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- FrameKey's identity is the comp's content (frames::comp_content), not the project revision:
an edit keeps the cached frames of comps it doesn't touch and undo finds the frames of the
state it returns to. The identity hashes the addresses of the comps a comp draws (~0.1 ms on
the 1500-layer test project; the full content hash took ~117 ms), by value the footage, solids,
proxies and project settings; with expressions, every item. Frames::content_of keeps a
project snapshot per identity with frames (or in flight), so Arc::make_mut always copies an
edited comp and its address can't be reused meanwhile; past 64 identities the least recently
used go with their frames (long drags).
- drop_stale is gone (frames of other contents are evicted least-recently-shown first).
- disk_cache::comp_content_key covers items' proxies and Use Proxy (it served stale frames).
- Tests: frames (content keys, edits elsewhere and undo, bounded drags, in-place edit safety),
ui_ram_preview (end to end), the disk cache proxy key. Docs: roadmap (M4 done), parity.

- Home covers the whole workspace below the Tools bar (the panels wait behind it) instead of
the Composition panel.
- Left rail: New Project (primary) and Open Project, the Home / Templates / Learn pages with
icons, and the community links and ArtCraft apps at its foot.
- Home page: "Welcome to EffectCraft", quick-start tiles (New Composition, Open Demo Project,
Import Footage, New from Template) and Recent as a table — thumbnail, name and folder,
Opened (relative), Size, Kind — with a filter field, Clear list and an empty state.
- Theme tokens throughout (light themes follow); web_time for "now" (works on the web).
- Tests: formatters (opened / size / kind) and the new automation ids. Docs: parity.

- Collapsed precomps: the renderer records the precomp layers a nested comp is drawn through;
motion-blur sub-samples re-evaluate their transforms (when their motion blur is on) and map
times down through each one, so the precomp layer's own motion blurs its nested layers. The
containing (outermost) comp's shutter applies to collapsed layers. The GPU compositor gets
this through Renderer::placement.
- Shape and text layers whose content changes within the shutter (compared by its cache key)
draw their source at Samples Per Frame times and average them; the cache key covers every
sub-sample's content.
- Tests: tests_motion_blur_depth (collapsed vs flat, the containing shutter, shape content vs
the same move by Position); each fails without the change.
- Docs: roadmap, parity.

- The Timeline shows one tab per open comp (dock DocTab). Clicking a tab shows that comp; ×
or middle-click closes that comp's Timeline (comp.close), not the panel. Opening a comp brings
its viewer and Timeline tab to the front.
- Project panel: a double-click on an item's name opens it (a comp gets its own tab) instead of
renaming; Enter and the context menu rename.
- Tab drags: over a tab strip an insertion mark shows where the tab lands, and it lands there
(Layout::insert_tab), which also reorders a group's own tabs; side zones are unchanged.
- Tests: ui_tabs (double-click, tab switch / close, drag reorder and cross-group insert; an
ignored mid-drag snapshot); the Timeline close test follows the new behaviour.
- Docs: parity, control protocol.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- effect.pickColor {effect, param|prop, x, y (layer px), average?}: the colour of the effect's
input at a point, set on the parameter (one undo step). Keying effects' Effect Controls
eyedroppers use it, since the shown frame is already keyed; Ctrl/Cmd+click averages 5x5.
- effects::aliases / name_matches: Effects & Presets and effect.list (MCP list_effects) find
Key Light by After Effects' name ("Keylight (1.2)").
- End-to-end test: a green-screen plate with an uneven screen, spill and soft edges keyed via
effect.apply "Keylight (1.2)", pick, Clip Black / White and a render; UI eyedropper test.
- Docs: parity, agents (green-screen recipe).

- J / K (Go to Previous / Next Keyframe) and Ctrl+Alt+A (Select All Keyframes) act on what the
Timeline shows, as in After Effects: the keys of its revealed properties, layer and comp
markers and the work area (they used every property of the selected or all layers, revealed
or not). The commands take `visible: [{layer, prop}]`, which the Timeline fills in; agents
calling them without it keep the previous behaviour.
- Graph Editor ▸ Auto-Select Graph Type (an "Auto" button, on by default as in After Effects):
the speed graph when every property shown is spatial (Position, Anchor Point…), else the
value graph; choosing Value or Speed turns it off.
- Docs: parity, agents.

- parity: the status note covers the M3.9–M4.12 passes (feature counts unchanged: they fixed
behaviour inside features already counted done) and the GPU effect count matches EFF-5 (280);
the Layers, Compositions, Interface, Project and Preview rows name what is left and what
landed; landed items in "Highest-value gaps" are struck through with where they landed, the
gaps the passes left are items 16–18, and the closing paragraph no longer says 69 menu entries
are disabled.
- ROADMAP: what is left includes the preview gaps.
- web: a restored session with unsaved changes stays modified and asks before closing.
- preferences: Adaptive Resolution Limit applies while dragging, not to playing previews.
- agents: nested comp settings and New Comp from Selection for several items.

- `Project::to_file_json` writes `savedBy` (the EffectCraft version) ahead of the project and
checks that the text reads back before anything is written: JSON has no NaN or infinity, so
such a value made a file that saved but could never be opened. Save now fails with a message
and the file on disk is left as it was.
- Opening a project saved by a newer EffectCraft warns that settings this version doesn't know
are lost on saving; `file.open` reports `savedBy`. A file that isn't a project names itself in
the error.
- Increment and Save keeps the extension (`.ecprojx` stays XML); Save a Copy writes XML for
`.ecprojx` / `.xml` paths, like Save As.
- Docs: architecture (document model), parity.

- Group Shapes (Ctrl+G) / Ungroup Shapes (Ctrl+Shift+G) sit in the Layer menu itself, as in
After Effects (they were under Mask and Shape Path).
- Window ▸ Learn opens the Home screen's Learn tab.
- Composition ▸ Composition Flowchart is Ctrl+Shift+F11 and Window ▸ Flowchart Ctrl+F11 (the
flowchart had the panel's shortcut and the panel none).
- Layer ▸ Transform ▸ Center In View shows Ctrl+Home.
- "Reveal in Finder" reads "Reveal in Explorer" on Windows and "Reveal in File Manager" on
Linux (`menus::platform_label`).

- Pre-compose makes the new composition with the original's pixel aspect, background, motion
blur and frame blending settings and 3D renderer (`Comp::nested_like`); it kept only size,
rate and background.
- File ▸ New Comp from Selection records one undo step (two per item before) and takes each
item's pixel aspect. Several items selected open the New Composition from Selection dialog:
Single / Multiple Compositions, Use Dimensions From, Still Duration (default from Settings ▸
Import ▸ Still Footage), Add to Render Queue, Sequence Layers with Overlap, Duration and
Transition. `file.newCompFromSelection {single, dimensionsFrom, duration, addToRenderQueue,
sequence, overlap, overlapDuration, transition}`; `layer.addItem {duration}` for stills.

- Locked layers can't be selected (Timeline click, Select All, Ctrl+Up/Down; shy layers while
hidden too) and are left alone by Clear/Delete, Arrange, Layer ▸ Transform and Center Anchor
Point, which fail when every target is locked (`commands::unlocked`, `commands::selectable`).
- Deleting a parent unparents its children where they are, in the same undo step: the
pick-whip compensation moved out of `layer.setParent` into `layer::parent_fixes` /
`ParentFix::apply`, which now also handles separated X/Y Position.
- Bring Forward / Send Backward move each selected layer one step (a non-contiguous selection
was squeezed into one block).
- Center In View / Fit to Comp keep a 3D layer's Z (and Fit keeps Scale/Anchor Z); Reset /
Center / Fit / Center Anchor Point work with separated dimensions (`layer::update_position`).
- Duplicate and paste keep parents and track mattes, following the copies when both were
copied; paste dropped them always.
- Docs: agents, parity.

- Layer ▸ Layer Settings on a solid or adjustment layer opens Solid Settings on the layer's
solid (it ran an empty command before): name (renames the layer and the solid), size, Pixel
Aspect Ratio, colour, and "Affect all layers that use this solid". It starts off, as in After
Effects, so changing a solid other layers share gives this layer its own copy.
`layer.settings {pixelAspect?, affectAll?}` → `{layer, solid?}`; `layer.newSolid {pixelAspect?}`.
- Nulls ask for their name; text and shape layers have no settings (the entry is disabled).
- Composition Settings / New Composition and Solid Settings register an automation id for
every control (`dialog.comp.*`, `dialog.solid.*`). Composition Settings takes any typed frame
rate besides the list, and New Composition starts from the last settings used.
- Colour buttons in both dialogs show the stored sRGB colour (`widgets::srgb_color_button`);
egui's linear picker showed it lighter.
- Docs: agents, parity.

- Quit and the window's close button, File ▸ New Project, Open Project, Open Recent, Close
Project, the demo project and a Home template show Save / Don't Save / Cancel when the
project has unsaved changes (Save asks for a path when untitled; cancelling that keeps the
project open). File ▸ Revert asks to discard. Before, all of them dropped unsaved work
without asking.
- The window title shows the project's path and `*` while it is modified.
- The modified mark follows undo: the session keeps the snapshot it last opened or saved
(`Session::saved_project`), so undoing, jumping in the History panel or rolling back a batch
to the saved state clears it.
- An edit that changes nothing (a value set to what it already is) records no undo step and
doesn't mark the project modified (`Project::same_content`, comparing untouched comps by
pointer).
- Agents' `engine.execute` / MCP calls are never asked; `ui.menu.invoke` shows the prompt like a
click (automation ids `dialog.unsaved.save` / `dontSave` / `revert` / `cancel`), and the
control channel's `app.quit {force: true}` skips it.
- Docs: architecture, agents, control protocol, parity.

contentFill.generate sends its plan (FillPlan) to a browser job worker:
the layer's frames render in passes on the worker's WebGPU device, the PNG
sequence goes back to browser storage (Services::store_file), and the page
adds the fill layer when the plan returns (WorkerReply::Fill). The smoke
test checks it; docs updated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- GPU in browser job workers: each job worker opens its own WebGPU device
(deferred readbacks); the Render Queue export and the analyses' frame loops
are futures (render::passes, offload::run_request_async) whose frames
render in passes, awaiting the device between them. GPU particles and
Advanced 3D read back under keys too. workers.jobs reports passes and
readbacks; the smoke test measures them.
- Layer buffers in the browser's OPFS disk cache: frame workers back their
layer caches with a PrefetchStore; the page plans what to fetch before a
request from recent misses (LayerPrefetch over the shared DiskIndex).
- Templates embed footage (default on, size-capped with a warning) and
creating from a template extracts it next to the new project / into
browser storage.

The geometry stays on the CPU as per-frame plans shared with the CPU effects (bolts, mask
strokes, scribbles, contour segments, audio marks, glyph strokes, waves, flood-fill region,
eyedropper sample); segments and convex polygons are tile-binned and rasterised on the GPU
with the CPU's coverage functions. CPU output unchanged (gen_golden). CC Threads' exact ties
at round parameter values are a documented exception; Fractal stays on the CPU (needs f64).

GPU render passes for CC Particle World / Systems II, Particle Playground,
CC Ball Action, CC Pixel Polly, CC Scatterize and Curl Noise (fx_particles,
chunked multi-pass raster); Shatter wireframe views, Foam extras, Timewarp
with a Matte Layer, strong Warp Fisheye/Twist (CPU f64 inverse map) and
custom .ocio configs no longer fall back to the CPU. CPU refactors pinned by
particle_golden / timewarp_golden / sim_golden hashes.
