Marco Arnulfo 2c683a1ae1 CLI: run --commands reads {"command", "params"} steps from a JSON or JSON Lines file, or standard input (#2251) 2026-10-24 20:09:43 +02:00
onlykshitijandClaude Opus 5.5 c7dda713d9 Scripts: uninstall never deletes through a subfolder
A subfolder of a Scripts folder can be a link to another folder (an extension's own checkout).
`file.uninstallScript {"name": "Motion Kit/Animate.jsx"}` then deleted Animate.jsx in that
folder, outside the settings folder. Uninstall now refuses `Folder/File.jsx` names and removes
only scripts at the top of the Scripts folders, where Install puts them; listing and running
through a linked folder still work.

Regression test: uninstall_never_deletes_through_a_linked_subfolder (failed before the fix).

dotCooCoo eb2a4820e8 Scripts: Recent Script Files lists the last ten scripts and Cmd+Alt+Shift+D reruns the newest
File ▸ Scripts gets a Recent Script Files submenu with the ten scripts run
last, newest first: script files run with Run Script File… or a command, and
the installed and bundled scripts of File ▸ Scripts. ScriptUI panels are not
listed. The list is kept in the settings. Each entry runs its script again
through `file.runScript {"recent": i}`, and Cmd+Alt+Shift+D runs the most
recent one; the key can be changed in Edit ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts. An entry
records whether it ran a file or an installed script, so a file named like a
bundled script runs again as that file.

onlykshitijandClaude Opus 5.5 bdcd2dc051 Scripts: subfolders of the Scripts and ScriptUI Panels folders become submenus
An extension that ships several panels no longer adds one Window menu entry per panel:
`Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/Motion Kit/Animate.jsx` shows as Window > Motion Kit > Animate.jsx,
and a subfolder of `Scripts/` is a submenu of File > Scripts. Top-level scripts are unchanged.

- Script names may be `Folder/File.jsx`: exactly one folder, each part a bare name (no `..`,
  `\`, NUL or empty part), never `ScriptUI Panels/...` under `Scripts/`.
- window.scriptPanel, file.runScript, file.uninstallScript, file.scripts.list and
  scriptui_panels.json take such names; a panel's tab is titled after its file.
- ConfigStore::list_dirs (DirConfig, MemoryConfig) lists the subfolders.
- menus::dynamic_nodes groups a folder's entries into a MenuNode::Submenu; the egui and native
  menus draw it with their submenu code.

aiongg c2df1c1a73 Translations: missing strings show in English and are listed by a report, not failed by tests (#2244)
* Translations: delete coverage and wording tests

A missing translation shows in English and never fails a test. Delete the
coverage and per-language parity tests, the tests that pin one language's
wording and the source scans for strings not routed through the catalog.
Keep the stale-row, duplicate-row and placeholder checks, and make the
engine tests that switch language compare against the catalog instead of a
literal. Drop the Traditional Chinese panel rows that only repeated the
English source to satisfy the parity test.

* Translations: missing-strings report in xtask ci

missing_translations_report prints, per language, the fixed menu entries,
panel strings, effect names and effect categories with no row. It always
passes. cargo xtask ci runs it with --nocapture after the test runs, so the
list shows in the gate log. The docs say a missing string shows in English
and where the list is.

Reload Footage probed every item the way File ▸ Import does by default,
so a still such as Photo_2.jpg with Photo_1.jpg beside it was grouped
into a run and measured from the run's first file. The still took
Photo_1's size. Sequence items still probe as a run; everything else
reads its one file.

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.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 83c76f266f Review: Glow's WGSL literals tied to GLOW_GAIN / GLOW_KNEE; parity summary consistent
kernels.wgsl repeats Glow's bright-pass gain 8.0 and knee 0.0611 as literals; they now
name effects::GLOW_GAIN / GLOW_KNEE (exported) and the test
glow_constants_match_the_cpu (no GPU needed) fails if they drift. docs/effects-parity.md:
the summary row no longer says no effect is compared with After Effects while the
Blur & Sharpen row reports Radial Blur's comparison (CodeRabbit on #1873), and the
Radial Blur changelog row says CPU only (it has no GPU path).

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 e559a7ce9a Review: tie the colour kernels' literals to the CPU constants; visible GPU skip; B&C wording
WGSL cannot read Rust constants, so the Rec. 601 luma (Tint, Tritone, Luma Key /
Extract), Black & White's tint weights and Exposure's 2.2 power stay literals in the
kernels; they now name their Rust source (effects::LUMA_601, BW_TINT_LUMA,
EXPOSURE_LINEAR_GAMMA, newly exported) and the test shader_constants_match_the_cpu
(no GPU needed) fails if a literal drifts. gpu_tint_defaults_match_after_effects_greys
says "skipped: no GPU adapter" when it skips (EFFECTCRAFT_REQUIRE_GPU=1 still makes it
fail). docs/effects-parity.md: Brightness & Contrast is close to, not the same as,
After Effects (up to 6.2/255), and the summary row lists what is measured.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 d9205fa5f4 Curves: a natural cubic spline through the points, as After Effects
After Effects' Curves effect interpolates its points with a natural cubic
spline (zero curvature at the ends), clamped to 0..1: AE 2026 renders of an
RGB curve (0,0) (125,199) (255,255) and a Red curve (0,0) (128,44)
(255,255) (cases 962 / 963, ROUND4) give exactly the natural spline's values
on every grey step (0, 30, 59, 115, 164, 202, 227, 242, 250, 255 and 0, 0, 1,
6, 19, 44, 83, 135, 194, 255). EffectCraft used a monotone (Fritsch-Carlson)
spline: 34 / 67 / 125 / 171 ... on the RGB curve, up to 10/255 off (ROUND4
measured up to 6 levels on real projects); now within 1/255, CPU and GPU (the
same Hermite tables carry the spline's knot slopes). Lumetri's curves and
Glow's Arbitrary Map keep the monotone spline (not measured).

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 d57b73d4cb Shape rectangles start at the top-right, as After Effects, so Trim Paths cut the same segment
After Effects draws a Rectangle Path clockwise from its top-right corner, or
with round corners from the end of the top-right arc on the right edge;
Trim Paths measures from there (AE 2026, case 930: 400 x 300 rectangles,
Trim 0-25 % and 70 / 30). EffectCraft built the path with kurbo, starting at
the top-left corner, so trimmed rectangles drew another segment: case 930
was 86 of 5184 grid points off (max 255), now 5 at stroke edges. Start > End
was already drawn swapped, as in AE. Convert to Bezier now gives AE's vertex
order (top-right first); the engine test follows. Lottie rectangles share
the path and now start where lottie players start them.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 d37c087975 Transform effect: skew after the rotation and drawn outside the layer, as After Effects
After Effects draws the Transform effect as position + K * R * S * (p - anchor)
with the skew K = rot(-axis) * shearY(tan skew) * rot(axis) applied after the
rotation, and keeps what lands outside the layer's bounds. EffectCraft skewed
before rotating (shearX about the axis) and clipped to the layer.

Measured in AE 2026 on a grey 960x540 solid (cases 723, 819, 820): 723 (anchor,
position, scale 120/80, skew 10 axis 20, rotation 30, opacity 70) differed in
11.25 % of the frame and now in 0.065 % (edges, max 16/255), CPU and GPU alike;
819 / 820 (skew 15 axis 60, rotation -25, scale 130/70, anchor) match to the
edge. The buffer grows on each side by that side's overshoot (also for the
motion-blur samples), capped at 16 384 px a side and 16 Mpx in all so a layer
moved far away costs a bounded allocation (regression test); adjustment layers
keep their size.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 60cf195236 Fractal / Turbulent Noise: lattice cells are two thirds of Scale, as After Effects
After Effects 2026 draws Fractal Noise's Block noise at Scale 100 and
Complexity 1 in cells of 66.67 px (the value changes every 66.67 px along a
row), not 100 px; Soft Linear noise has the matching correlation length.
EffectCraft's lattice is now Scale x 2/3 px (NOISE_CELL), CPU and GPU. Case
904 E03 (Soft Linear, Complexity 4, Scale 100): the noise's autocorrelation
at 32 px was 0.68 (AE 0.41), now 0.54; pixel values cannot match (other
seeds). Still open: AE's noise spreads about 20 % wider around its mean (std
48 vs 40/255 in E03). Existing projects and the Backgrounds presets with
Fractal Noise get finer noise (two thirds of the former cell size).

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 8d41ef7218 Radial Wipe: Feather in pixels on both edges of the wedge, as After Effects
After Effects feathers both edges of the wiped wedge (the start ray too) with
a Gaussian whose width is constant in pixels: Completion 40, Start Angle 30,
Counterclockwise, Feather 20 (AE 2026, case 904 E12) fits sigma = 0.4 x
Feather = 8.0 px at every radius (mean alpha error 0.0002 over the frame).
EffectCraft ramped only the moving edge, linearly over Feather degrees, so
the edge was 14 px wide near the centre and 140 px wide at 400 px out, and
the start edge was hard: 378 of 5184 grid points off (max 111/255, 6.6 % of
pixels > 8), now 1 (max 3), 0.009 % of pixels > 8 (near the centre). CPU and
GPU (the kernel now measures distances to the two rays). 0 % and 100 % are
unchanged, so the three Transitions presets keep their end frames; their
Feather (6 / 10) now means pixels.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 47b3582a0a Venetian Blinds: stripes from the layer centre, Gaussian feather on both edges, as After Effects
After Effects measures the blinds' phase from the layer's centre and softens
both edges of the transparent band with a Gaussian of sigma = Feather / 2; the
band runs from the origin's phase to Completion x Width. EffectCraft measured
from the buffer corner and ramped only one edge linearly over Feather (a hard
edge on the other side). Fitted to AE 2026 renders of Completion 40,
Direction 30, Width 50, Feather 5 on a 960 x 540 and a 480 x 270 layer (the
origin is the centre + 0.6 px): case 715 was 499 of 5184 grid points off
(max 91/255, 7.1 % of pixels > 8), now 28 (0.056 %), all within ~6 px of the
layer edge where AE differs (up to 48/255, not modelled); away from it within
6/255 (test: one AE row of the 480 x 270 render). CPU and GPU (new erf-based
kernel, same term count). Completion 0 / 100 are unchanged, so the
Transitions presets keep their start and end frames.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 ae7081077f Radial Blur: samples outside the layer repeat its edge, as After Effects
After Effects' Radial Blur keeps a layer's edges: Zoom 20 on a flat grey 960x540
solid over red (case 713) stays flat and opaque to its edge, and a zoomed
full-frame ramp (case 829) keeps the frame opaque (2/255 at x = 2, 253/255 at
x = 1917 on row 540). EffectCraft sampled transparency outside the layer, so its
edges faded and the red below showed through (713: 3.9 % of the frame off, max
64/255). Now 713 is identical to AE (max 0/255), CPU and GPU. CC Radial Blur
(already matching AE) is unchanged.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 a8d4514a1b Glow: per-channel bright pass with After Effects' gain, glows above the threshold as bright as After Effects
With Glow Colors = Original Colors, After Effects thresholds each channel of
the straight colour separately and the glow is 8 x (value - threshold +
0.061) per channel (times Intensity), nothing below: fitted to AE 2026
renders of grey 0.65 / 0.8 / 0.9 / 1, orange (1, 0.5, 0) and (0.2, 0.6, 1)
solids at Threshold 40 / 60 / 80 % and Radius 10 / 30 (36 channel values,
exact to the 8-bit capture; an orange solid glows red only). EffectCraft
scaled the colour by a luminance threshold (k = (L - thr) / (1 - thr)), about
3.7 x too dim on white. Cases 806 / 810 / 811 (32 bpc): outside the layer
now within 3/255 of AE (806 white at Intensity 1: 119 = AE, was 32); grid
0 points off for 806-810. The glow's alpha (the blurred layer alpha) and the
Arbitrary Map / A & B colours and alpha-based glows are unchanged.

Stacked on fix-glow-halo (same lines). Not changed: Composite Original's
semantics are swapped against AE's names (EffectCraft's "On Top" adds the
glow over the original, which AE calls "Behind"; AE's "On Top" keeps the
original over the glow), so imported AE Glows at the default Behind show
no glow inside the layer (811 interior 204 vs AE 255).

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 f4fbdc6c25 Glow: the glow covers the layer's blurred alpha, blur sigma 0.384 x radius, as After Effects
With Glow Based On Color Channels, After Effects gives the glow the layer's whole
alpha (blurred), not the thresholded part, and Intensity scales only its colour:
a layer below the threshold darkens what lies under its edge. Fitted to AE 2026
renders of a grey solid over red (cases 524, 807-809): the halo is the same at
Intensity 1 and 3 and with Composite Original Behind or On Top, and its edge is
an erfc step of sigma = 0.384 x Glow Radius at radius 10 and 30 (was radius / 2).

524 (Glow defaults on a 50 % grey solid): EffectCraft had no halo (max 116/255
off at the edge); now red 248/234/208/165/140 at 7.5/5.5/3.5/1.5/0.5 px outside
vs AE 249/235/206/164/140, max 2/255 over the frame, CPU and GPU. The blur
width applies to every glow; alpha-based glows keep their coverage rule
(thresholded alpha, scaled by Intensity). Not matched yet: the brightness of glows above the
threshold (AE about 3.7 x brighter for a white solid, cases 806, 810, 811).

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 84ffc8453e Fill: Opacity is the filled layer's opacity, as After Effects
Without a Fill Mask, After Effects turns the layer into the fill colour and
applies Opacity to its alpha; nothing of the original shows through. AE 2026
renders Fill (0, 0.5, 1) at Opacity 50 % on a Gradient Ramp over a red solid
as premultiplied (0, 0.251, 0.502) at alpha 0.502 at every pixel; EffectCraft
mixed the fill with the ramp (mean difference 95.5/255), now within 1/255,
CPU and GPU. Invert fills the transparent part the same way. With a Fill
Mask the mix with the original is unchanged (not measured). Lottie's fill
effect (colour, alpha x opacity) now plays the same in EffectCraft.

904 E16 at Blend 50 (power 2.00 at every Blend, softening 0 / 2367 / 9817 /
90127 = about Blend^2; mean error 0.27/255, max 0.9). EffectCraft used

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 39bd0efac2 Luma Key: Key Out Brighter and Darker cut hard at Threshold, as After Effects
After Effects' Luma Key removes everything darker (or brighter) than Threshold
and ignores Tolerance for those two key types; Tolerance only sets the band of
Key Out Similar / Dissimilar. EffectCraft ramped the matte over Tolerance, so
case 719 (a 50 % grey, Key Out Darker, Threshold 140, Tolerance 20) kept about
80 % of the layer where AE keys it out completely.

Measured in AE 2026 on a vertical grey ramp (cases 812-814): Darker keys up to
level 139.9 and keeps 140.1 (EffectCraft now the same row); Similar keys levels
120.3-160.0; with Edge Thin 1 / Edge Feather 2.5 the matte rises over rows
591-596 (EffectCraft within 0.2 of AE's alpha there). CPU and GPU.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 dc9f15ada1 Brightness & Contrast: negative settings invert the positive curves, as After Effects
In After Effects 2026 the non-legacy curve of Brightness -40 is the inverse
of Brightness +40 (within 2.6/255 on a full black-to-white ramp) and Contrast
-50 the inverse of Contrast +50. EffectCraft fitted the negative brightness
with its own power (2^(1.32 |b|) on v), 20/255 off AE at -40; the negatives
now use the reciprocal exponents of the positive curves: Brightness -40 max
6.2/255 (was 19.8), Contrast -50 4.1 (was 7.0); positives unchanged (40:
5.5, 80: 7.8, Contrast 50: 2.7, 90: 5.0; B20 C30: 6.6, which confirms
brightness before contrast). The #681 oracle samples still pass. CPU and GPU.
The positive curves' remaining 5-8/255 needs a better curve family (a
two-point spline fits each capture within 1.6/255), left open.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 515cc3d5f7 Levels: channel controls before RGB, "Off for 32 bpc Color" unclipped in 32 bpc, as After Effects
After Effects 2026 in a 32 bpc project, Levels (Individual Controls) with RGB
(0.1, 0.9, gamma 1.5, 0.05, 0.95), Red Gamma 0.8, Green Input White 0.8 and
Blue Output Black 0.2 on grey steps 0..255 (case 904 E07): every step matches
"each channel's controls, then the RGB controls" with nothing clipped
(values below Input Black end below Output Black, above Input White above
Output White). EffectCraft ran RGB first and clipped "Off for 32 bpc Color"
(it could not see the bit depth): up to 27/255 off on 95 % of the grid; now
0 grid points off, max 1/255, CPU and GPU.

EffectEnv gains float_depth (the renderer sets it for 32 bpc projects), so
"Off for 32 bpc Color" clips in 8 / 16 bpc projects as before. Unclipped
values below 0 take the gamma mirrored through 0. Plain Levels keeps its
order (its channel controls were not measured); its clipping follows the same
rule. EffectCraft's own projects default to 8 bpc and are unchanged.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 617b0a578d Exposure: After Effects parameter ranges
All twelve sliders (Master, Red, Green, Blue) take After Effects'
ranges: Exposure valid -100..100, slider -4..4, 2 decimals (was -20..20,
slider -5..5); Offset -2..2, slider -0.5..0.5, 4 decimals (unchanged);
Gamma Correction valid and slider 0.1..10, 2 decimals (was 0.01..9.99,
slider 0.1..3).

Every value inside the old Exposure and Offset ranges stays valid. Saved
values are not clamped on load, so a gamma below 0.1 from an older
project or a Photoshop import (0.01..9.99) is kept and still renders
(the renderer's 0.01 floor is unchanged); only new edits clamp to 0.1.
Test of the ranges and of an old gamma surviving the load refresh.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 c7060e2d75 Exposure: gamma 2.2 linear-light conversion, as After Effects
With Bypass Linear Light Conversion off, Exposure decoded and re-encoded
with the piecewise sRGB curve. After Effects 2026 renders (sRGB working
space, 32 bpc) of Offset 0.0005 / 0.002 / 0.02 / 0.1 on black measure
8 / 15 / 43 / 90, which a pure 2.2 power predicts (8.06 / 15.13 / 43.08 /
89.54) and the sRGB curve does not (1.65 / 6.59 / 38.68 / 89.04).

The effect now uses its own 2.2 power curve on the CPU and in the GPU
kernel; the shared colour functions and other effects are unchanged. As
before, the conversion applies whatever the working space, also a
linearised one. Negative values go through both curves mirrored (input
was clamped at 0 before), so defaults are an identity for 32-bpc values
and a negative Offset darkens past black without NaN.

New test against the AE values; existing Exposure tests still hold.

vangel76andClaude Opus 5.5 70c1349cbc Black & White: Tint keeps the gray's luminosity, as After Effects
After Effects tints Black & White's gray like a Color blend: the tint colour's
hue and saturation at the gray's luminosity (weights 0.3 / 0.59 / 0.11, channels
outside 0..1 pulled back toward the gray). EffectCraft used the gray as HSL
lightness. Measured in AE 2026, Tint Color [1, 0.5, 0]: a red solid at Reds 10
(case 717) AE (43, 21, 0), EffectCraft was (51, 26, 0), now (43, 21, 0); a
yellow solid at the default sliders (gray 0.6, case 825) AE (255, 129, 2), now
(255, 129, 3); white stays white. The six sliders already matched AE on eight
colours (cases 816, 817). CPU and GPU.
