- 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.

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.

Project files now record activeComp and openComps next to savedBy, and
file.open restores them, so a project reopens on the comp it was saved
on (desktop app, CLI and MCP all open through file.open). Older files
and ids that no longer name a comp fall back to the first comp; older
versions ignore the new keys.
Fixes#748

anim.reveal only walked the layer's top-level groups, so Time Remap, which
sits at the root of the layer's property tree, was never revealed. Enabled
time remapping counts as a modification in itself.

Previous / Next Frame also answer to Cmd+Left / Cmd+Right Arrow, and Back / Forward
10 Frames to Cmd+Shift+Left / Right, next to the Page keys (After Effects' second
default keys). A command spec can now list several default shortcuts
(`alt_shortcuts`, `cmd!(…, ["PageDown", "Cmd+ArrowRight"], …)`); menus and tooltips
keep showing the first.

Port of storytold/photocraft#2445. Each theme in the appearance picker gets a
star at the right edge of its row. Starred themes are saved with the
preferences and listed in a right-click menu on the header's appearance button,
next to Appearance Settings, so switching between favorites takes one click.
