frame gets --crop, --zoom and --ids, so small details are checked on a sharp crop and every element with an id is outlined and named. strip accepts comma separated times and --crop, and inspect --pops reports parts of the picture that change in one frame between still frames. include_media_dir! gets a stereo option that keeps both channels of embedded audio.


Command What it does
frame 3s --crop 1100,520,240,120 Renders the whole frame larger and keeps only the rectangle (video pixels). Without --zoom, the crop is zoomed to about 960 px wide, at most 8x.
frame 3s --zoom 2 The whole frame at twice the resolution.
frame 3s --ids Outlines paths (magenta) and boxes groups, images and text (yellow, dashed), with each id as a label. Text output lists ids and boxes; --json adds an elements array.
strip 2s,5s,9s A contact sheet of chosen times instead of an evenly spaced range.
strip Intro --crop 0,0,960,540 Every cell shows the rectangle, rendered sharply at --width.
inspect --pops Renders every frame of the range 480 px wide and compares them in 8 px blocks. Reports warnings with the time, the region and the frame a,b --crop ... command to compare.
include_media_dir!(pub struct Media, "media", stereo) Embeds stereo files with both channels (twice the size). The default is still mono.

A block that changes by more than 20/255 between two frames, while it and its neighbours are still (below 3/255) in the comparisons before and after, is a step: something appears, vanishes or swaps draw order. A single frame that differs from both neighbours while they match is a flash. Continuous motion changes the same blocks in consecutive frames and is not reported. A change of more than 30% of the picture is a cut and is not reported. Repeats in the same region (a counter, a blinking element) are grouped into one warning with a count.

Note

hello-world (900 frames) scans in about 1 s and gives 9 grouped warnings for its frame counter text, instead of one warning per tick.

Important

--zoom renders the whole frame, so the command refuses sizes above 16384 px per side (the Skia GPU surface limit) and asks for a smaller zoom.

  • Element labels use the video's fonts and fall back to system fonts when the video has none, so labels are never blank.
  • The editor plays embedded stereo audio as a mono mix (left and right averaged) instead of the left channel only.

Tests

  • continuity: a step, a flash, motion, a cut and a still sequence.
  • preview_tests: element ids, boxes in video coordinates through transforms, labels change pixels, crop clamping.
  • embedded_audio_channels: a 0.05 s stereo WAV fixture is embedded with and without stereo.
  • CLI parsing of the new flags and of x,y,width,height regions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added frame cropping, zoom controls, and optional element ID labels.
    • Added visual pop detection to inspection, with warnings for recurring frame-to-frame changes.
    • Strip rendering now accepts comma-separated times and supports cropping.
    • Embedded audio can retain stereo channels with an explicit option; mono remains the default.
  • Documentation
    • Updated command and audio guidance to cover the new options and defaults.

…n and stereo media

`frame` gets `--crop`, `--zoom` and `--ids`, `strip` accepts comma separated times and `--crop`,
and `inspect --pops` finds parts of the picture that change in one frame between still frames.
`include_media_dir!` gets a `stereo` option that keeps both channels of embedded audio.

📝 Walkthrough

The renderer adds crop, zoom, element-label, and pop-inspection options. Embedded audio can retain stereo channels through an explicit macro option, while the editor averages stereo input into its single-channel buffer. Documentation and tests cover these changes.

Changes: Video Rendering and Inspection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame and strip rendering controls
fframes/src/renderer/cli.rs, fframes/src/renderer/element_labels.rs, fframes/src/renderer/preview.rs, fframes/src/renderer/sheet.rs, fframes/src/renderer/mod.rs, fframes/src/renderer/tests/preview_tests.rs, AGENTS.md, skills/fframes-video/*
Frame rendering accepts crop, zoom, and ID-label options. Strip sampling accepts comma-separated times and an optional crop. The changes add element-label overlays, crop support, output details, tests, and usage documentation.
Pop detection
fframes/src/renderer/continuity.rs, fframes/src/renderer/mod.rs
The new detector compares frame regions to identify step and flash changes, groups flagged blocks, filters large scene changes, and tests detected and ignored sequences.
Pop scanning in inspection
fframes/src/renderer/cli.rs, skills/fframes-video/SKILL.md
The inspect --pops option scans rendered frames, groups overlapping detections, and adds warning findings with frame, time, and crop details. Inspection output reports the scanned-frame count.

Embedded Audio Channels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Embedded audio decoding and stereo option
media-dir-macro/src/parser.rs, media-dir-macro/src/lib.rs, fframes/src/tests.rs, AGENTS.md, skills/fframes-video/*
include_media_dir! accepts an optional stereo setting. The macro selects mono or stereo decoding and generates the available channel data. Tests and documentation describe both modes.
Editor stereo downmix
fframes-editor-controller/src/wasm_audio.rs
AudioData::new averages left and right samples for stereo input. Mono input continues to use left-channel samples.

Cropped frame inspection can omit a reported element’s visible ID label. This is a bounded usability issue rather than a reason to block merging.

Keep --ids labels visible in cropped frames.

When --ids and --crop are both set, the code keeps intersecting elements, draws labels on the full frame, and then removes pixels outside the crop. A container whose ID label is outside the crop is therefore reported in FrameResult.elements but is not visible in the PNG. Render the selected labels in crop coordinates, translating by the crop origin while preserving the render scale.
