Enable trim-start and trim-end for all authored timeline elements (divs,
sections, compositions) — not just video/audio/img. The deterministic-window
gate was overly restrictive since all non-implicit elements have authored
data-start/data-duration that define their timeline window.
Replace iframe reload after resize/move with direct DOM attribute patching
via patchIframeDomTiming(). This eliminates playhead-jump-to-zero, visual
blinking, and race conditions from file-watcher echoes. File persistence
runs in a serialized background queue (persistTimelineEdit + enqueueEdit)
so rapid edits don't overwrite each other.
Add mediabunny-based media probe service (mediaProbe.ts) for fast metadata
extraction from file headers. Timeline elements missing sourceDuration are
enriched asynchronously without waiting for DOM loadedmetadata events.
Tune the runtime media preloader: lower lazy threshold from 6 to 3 clips,
add 3s lookbehind window for reverse scrub, adaptive promoted-clip cap.
Deduplicate getTimelineEditCapabilities — computed once in TimelineCanvas
and passed as a prop to TimelineClip instead of recomputing per clip.
Remove dead PlaybackAdapter re-export from useTimelinePlayer — all consumers
import directly from playbackTypes.
Adds a Blocks tab to the Studio left sidebar with the full 78-item registry
catalog (58 blocks + 20 components). Users can browse by category, search by
title/description, preview CDN-hosted poster thumbnails with video-on-hover,
and install items on-demand with one click or drag-to-timeline.
Core changes:
- BlockCategory type + resolveBlockCategory() for 7 categories (Captions, VFX,
Transitions, Effects, Social, Data, Scenes)
- Registry API routes: GET /api/registry/blocks (catalog) + POST install
- StudioApiAdapter extended with listRegistryCatalog + installRegistryBlock
- Vite adapter reads from disk; CLI adapter fetches from GitHub (24h cache)
- BlockParam interface + params on 6 blocks for future parameter controls
Studio UI:
- 4th sidebar tab "Blocks" with responsive grid, category pills, search bar
- BlockCard: CDN poster thumbnail, video autoplay on hover, duration + WebGL badges
- On-demand install: blocks append as sub-compositions on timeline; components
overlay at start=0 spanning full duration with transparent background patching
- TIMELINE_BLOCK_MIME drag-and-drop to timeline
- BlockParamsPanel (Phase 3 scaffold) auto-opens for parameterized blocks
Registry manifests:
- All 58 blocks backfilled with preview: { video, poster } CDN URLs
- All 20 components normalized to object format + poster URLs added
- 6 blocks annotated with params (Liquid Glass/Background, Portal, Chart,
Logo Outro, Magnetic)
- flowchart-vertical preview generated and uploaded to CDN
