- Autocache range jobs now post at Background priority
(submit_video_background): they used to go through the Seek path and,
after the M4 seek over-admission, jumped ahead of playback and past the
render-queue bound. The interactive single-frame preview keeps Seek.
- Job.cancelled: the arena installs the slot's cancel atom, and
execute_job finishes a cancelled job with Error::State before running
the producer — a cancel no longer burns a full render/GPU pass only to
discard the result. Exactly-once delivery is unchanged.
- DECODE_LRU_CAP 8 -> 2: the decode service's LRU is a hand-off buffer,
not the cache of record (the eval-side decoded_frames LRU is); the
double-cache footprint at 1080p F32 drops by ~6 frames. A hand-off miss
is served from the eval cache without a new decode.
- Tests: sequence-aware preview cancel, over-admitted seek ordering,
deterministic prefetch LRU reuse, cancelled-job skip, autocache
priority. docs §3.4 backfilled with the A/B/C audit outcomes.
docs/zh/plans/render-pipeline-threads.md M4: the thread pipeline now
keeps its decode thread ahead of the render thread and the app's
playback window consumes in-process frames.
- Render queue: priority-ordered by JobSchedule.priority (Seek >
Playback > Background, FIFO within a class), so interactive frames
jump playback exports/autocache. Seek posts may over-admit the bound:
priority only reorders queued jobs, so a full queue of background work
must not park the UI thread until an export frame finishes.
- Decode queue: rendezvous Requests are served ahead of queued
Prefetches (a frame the renderer needs never waits behind speculative
decodes); Sync barriers stay FIFO. The queue is a bounded
Mutex+Condvar structure, preserving the request backpressure and the
wait_idle contract.
- Playback read-ahead: a Playback job's footage decode requests are
derived from its montage/footage spec on post (same media time, size
and force_format.unwrap_or(F32) as the eval) and queued immediately,
so frame N+1 decodes while frame N runs its GPU passes.
- App window: PreviewWindow slots are generalized to
PreviewSlot::{Shm, Video}; the pipeline's in-process TicketPayload is
cached and consumed by cpu_frame exactly like a worker slot.
PipelineBackend::preview_window_capacity reports the render-queue
headroom, so playback posts are capped to what the queue can take;
cancel_preview_frame drops queued frames the playhead has passed,
matched on the full (sequence, frame, version) key so one monitor's
window never drops the other sequence's same-numbered frame.
- Tests: decode-queue preemption/FIFO, render-queue ordering, request
derivation, and deterministic end-to-end M4 tests: a prefetch that
must be reused by the render request (LRU hit, single decode — the
read-ahead claim is falsifiable), a parked-render-thread priority test
where a full queue of background work still lets a Seek over-admit and
run first, and a sequence-aware cancel test. The playback prefetch
smoke asserts prefetches == distinct decodes == frames; it does not
claim zero heap copies (Frame.data is deep-copied at the eval-cache
and service-LRU boundaries today).
- bench_playback gains a pipeline mode with CPU (self+children) and
first-frame latency; both backends now produce F32 frames so the
comparison is like-for-like. The §3.4 backfill records the numbers:
at the proxy size the pipeline is faster with a lower first frame; at
1080p peak throughput is below the multi-worker pool, but that is an
artifact of the decode still being CPU software (M5), not a case for
pooling decode threads — GPU decode is a single device/queue and the
zero-copy import shares one GPU memory pool, so the single decode
thread stays the target shape.
Adjustment layers (docs/zh/plans/adjustment-layers-and-transitions.md):
a new timeline block type whose effect chain grades the composite of
every video track below it, over its own range (spanning clips or a
slice of one). The graph path flushes the lower tracks at the block's
track boundary and sweeps the composite through the chain via a
transient texture-source node; the montage path mirrors it with
AdjustmentSpan tickets (wire-compatible), so worker previews and
exports agree. An empty-area context menu creates one; the block
trims/moves/deletes like a clip, with undo everywhere.
Transitions: seam blocks come alive - cross dissolve/fade/wipe/slide
evaluate both neighbors through the graph path with progress from the
transition's own range (never the whole clip). Ctrl+Shift+D or the clip
menu inserts a default transition; the gpui wedges render and drag to
resize offsets undoably, and TransitionRemoveCommand now restores
offsets and edges on undo. The transitionfx node form runs the same
shaders on an adjustment layer with progress_in auto-filled from the
layer's span (explicit value wins).
Also: every built-in effect name and parameter name is now
translatable (360 node.* keys per locale, zh-CN fully translated, two
coverage tests guard future gaps); the new nodes register in
nodes/mod.rs with the factory smoke table updated; textfootage and
adjustment-layer i18n keys included.
All crates take the oak-* kebab-case naming (oak-audio, oak-codec,
oak-common, oak-core, oak-ffmpeg-link, oak-node, oak-otio, oak-plugin,
oak-render, oak-storage, oak-task, oak-timeline, oak-undo), with the
lib identifiers rewritten (oakrender:: -> oak_render::, oakcore_rs:: ->
oak_core::, ...) across all 226 referencing files.
The GUI application moves from the workspace root into
crates/oak-app/: src/, build.rs (paths fixed for the new location) and
tests/ travel with it, the root Cargo.toml becomes workspace-only
([workspace] + workspace.package + profiles), and the app package
inherits the workspace version. The screenshots example becomes a
standalone crate examples/simple_player/ with its own Cargo.toml.
Every crate now inherits the single workspace version
(version.workspace = true), and the workflows' crate paths and the
build docs follow the renames.
Validated with a clean cargo check --workspace.
