- GPU Pixel Motion Blur (#695) declined without a host; it now averages the shutter's
frames like the CPU effect (tests_fx_time::without_a_host).
- add_item_keeps_footage_longer_than_the_comp_at_full_length (#798) built footage with
the default kind (Still), which adds at comp length; it is a movie.
- docs/effects.md regenerated.

Opening movies in place (#796) skipped the whole-file bytes #827 read the
track matrix from, so the pool and the probe lost the turn for movies on
disk. stream::movie_header reads just the ftyp and moov boxes (bounded,
positional reads) and both in-place paths derive the orientation from it.

As in After Effects, the Preset menu in Composition Settings / New Composition gets a Save
button (asks for the name in a Choose Name window; an existing name of yours is replaced) and a
Delete button for the selected preset of yours. Your presets keep frame size, pixel aspect and
frame rate, are listed above the built-in ones and live in the settings (`compPresets`), so they
survive restarts and Reset All. Commands: `comp.savePreset`, `comp.deletePreset`, `comp.presets`.
A hand-edited settings file loses only its invalid presets.

The Go to Time dialog's Frame field sends a float (5.0); time.set read
`frame` with as_i64, got None and failed with "need time, frame or
timecode". Read it as any JSON number and round.

Alt-click on a layer's Video, Audio, Solo or Lock switch sets that layer
apart: the other layers go off (or locked), and the next Alt-click brings
them back. Backed by layer.setSwitch {others: true}, one undo step.

A launch from the Dock, the Start menu or a launcher has no terminal, and
without RUST_LOG nothing reached standard error anyway, so start-up and
GPU warnings were lost unless Help > Enable Logging was already on.
The logger now writes EffectCraft's info records and everyone's warnings
to standard error and to Logs/effectcraft.log in the settings folder.
Each launch keeps the previous two runs' logs; the file is capped at
16 MiB. RUST_LOG still overrides the filter. Help > Reveal Logging File
shows this run's log unless Enable Logging is on.
Ported from storytold/pdfcraft#239.

Problem: the extra panes of View > Switch View Layout were fixed to Top, Front and Right, and the 3D View menu only changed the main view.
Fix: every extra pane has a view selector (Active Camera, Default, Front, Left, Top, Back, Right, Bottom, Custom View 1-3). The choice is kept per comp in Views3D::panes (serde default, so older editor states load with Top/Front/Right) and set by the new command view.setPaneView {pane 0-3, view}. The Active Camera pane renders through the comp camera.

Problem: the Timeline shows non-drop timecode, but time.set (the current-time field) parsed
typed text as drop-frame at 29.97/59.94 fps, so committing the displayed time, or typing a
time, landed on another frame from minute 1 on (frame 1800 "0:01:00:00" -> 1798).
Fix: typed text is read as drop-frame only when it uses ';' fields; ':' and '.' follow the
displayed non-drop style. Regression test round-trips the display at both rates.

Problem: a movie whose profile the software decoders lack (H.264 High 4:2:2 / 10-bit)
probes fine, then every frame read fails; MediaPool logged the error per frame and returned
None, so the layer rendered black with no sign why in the viewer, Project panel or for agents.
Fix: MediaPool records the reason once per file (codec from the probe plus the decoder's text
without error wrappers; I/O errors stay with missing-footage handling), logs it once, and
exposes it through the new FootageSource::problem. The Composition viewer shows it on the
affected layer, the Project panel marks the item with a warning whose tooltip is the reason,
and project.summary / footage.info carry a "problem" field. Cleared when the file is
forgotten; only set when decoding really failed, so a hardware decoder that handles the file
shows nothing.

The modified reveal compares each layer with a fresh layer of the same kind:
Audio, Material, Geometry, Camera and Light Options and a text layer's Path
and More Options now count when changed. Layer styles count in full, and
overridden Essential Properties are revealed.
Cameras and lights compare their Transform with their own defaults, and
separated X/Y Position with the comp centre, so untouched layers reveal
nothing.
