The gradient antialias could leave a half-covered pixel where an opaque source reaches h = 1. Add an endpoint guard on CPU and GPU and cover an opaque edge in the regression test.
Use the measured Softness kernel (sigma = 0.42 * Softness), threshold the blurred height with a ~1 px antialias, and allow Cut Away 100 to empty the matte. Split the source-matte displacement from the height-field RGB refraction: the matte uses a z=1 bevel normal fitted to the T2 step edges, while RGB follows the measured z=height refraction. Align the documented AE defaults and add CPU regression tests for the cut threshold, Cut Away 100, and the inward matte warp. Update the GPU kernel and parameters to match, keeping CPU/GPU parity.
Alt/Option-drag a Project item onto a Timeline layer, or press Ctrl+Alt+/ (Cmd+Opt+/) with layers and an item selected, to swap the layer's source. The layer keeps its name, timing, transforms, keyframes, expressions, effects, masks, switches, parenting and track matte; a source with audio adds Audio properties when missing. Precompositions can't be nested inside themselves.
AVLayer.replaceSource now runs the same engine command and closes the replaceSource part of #813.
layer.setSwitch with no value toggles relative to the first selected layer in
composition order, so with a mixed selection (A checked, C unchecked) clicking
C's box could leave C unchanged. The checkbox now sends the value it toggles
to, as the switches do.
The Timeline draws the Video switch (the eye) on every layer's row, nulls,
cameras and lights included, but set_switch_others and hide_other_video
skipped cameras and lights: Alt-clicking the eye of a selected layer neither
set them apart with the selection nor hid them with the rest.
Both now use the rule the eye cell shows: every layer but track mattes.
The label swatch's menu, the Blending Mode menu and Preserve Transparency
passed the clicked layer alone, so a colour or a mode had to be set one layer
at a time. They now act on the whole selection, with the Modes column edits
going only to the selected layers that have video, as its cells do.
The preserve-transparency checkbox also gets an automation id, like the cells
around it.
A switch click on one of several selected layers passed that layer alone to
`layer.setSwitch`, so Lock, 3D, Video (and the rest of the A/V Features and
Switches columns) had to be set one layer at a time.
The click now gives the switch to the whole selection, with the layers it
doesn't apply to left out (3D on a camera, Effect on a layer without effects,
Audio on a layer without audio, ...). The targets are picked when the press
happens, so drawing a row costs nothing more than before. A row that isn't
selected still changes that layer alone, pressing and dragging over rows is
unchanged, and Alt-clicking an A/V feature sets the selected layers apart.
