The Project Explorer previously only had an old Pre-Cache submenu that
required choosing a sequence. Replace it with the same Proxy menu that
the timeline uses:
- Generate Proxy: batch-generates proxies for all selected footage items
that have an enabled video stream, using ProxyManager and the current
proxy settings.
- Use Proxy: checkable toggle that enables/disables proxy playback for the
selected footage.
- Reveal Proxy / Delete Proxy: consistent with the timeline context menu.
Also make Footage::SaveCustom() write the <proxy> element whenever
proxy_enabled_ is true, even if proxy_path_ is empty, and load it back
in LoadCustom(). This preserves the user's Use Proxy preference across
project saves so it is restored on the next open.
Translation files updated with lupdate; zh_CN and zh_TW translations for
the new Project Explorer strings (and the matching timeline strings) are
filled in.
- Default ViewerOutput::autocache_input_video_ to true so new sequences
and viewer outputs use the frame cache without requiring the user to
manually enable Auto-Cache.
- Update the DefaultSequenceAutoCache2 config default to true for
consistency.
- Use a divider of 1 (full resolution) for new sequences and for
footage-derived viewer parameters instead of the auto-downscaling
heuristic, so the viewer defaults to full-res preview.
- In AudioWaveformView, base the view timebase on the video frame rate
when video is present; fall back to the audio sample rate only for
audio-only sources. Using the audio sample rate as the view timebase
created an enormous scene rect (time * sample_rate * scale), which
froze the waveform view and stalled playback updates when showing
the audio waveform.
Renderer / preview:
- Switch the preview/display readback format from F16 to packed
10-bit RGBA (PixelFormat::U10) to halve GPU->CPU/IPC bandwidth
while keeping 10-bit panel precision.
- Add U10 support to VideoParams, FFmpeg/OIIO/OCIO utility mappings,
OpenGL (GL_RGB10_A2), Vulkan (VK_FORMAT_A2B10G10R10_UNORM_PACK32),
and plugin bit-depth lookups.
- Update preview autocacher comment to reflect the new behavior.
OCIO LUT tests:
- Add four E2E-style ColorLutNode gtests that drive a SolidGenerator
-> OCIOLutNode graph through NodeTraverser and compare resulting
pixels on the CPU. They cover forward/inverse transforms and verify
that switching LUT direction and LUT file updates both the processor
and the output pixels.
Cleanup:
- Remove a leftover SolidGenerator::Value debug fprintf.
- Capture render worker stderr in RenderWorkerFootageTest for better
diagnostics.
Add temporary qDebug logging to Footage, ProjectCopier,
RenderWorkerPool, and TimelineWidget to trace why Use Proxy cannot be
toggled and why proxy footage may still be used after disabling.
Proxy state (enabled/path/state/etc.) is stored as Footage member data,
not as a Node input, so ProjectCopier did not synchronize it to the
internal copy project used by worker processes. This caused toggling
Use Proxy in the UI to have no effect on rendered output.
Add a Footage::ProxySettingsChanged signal and have ProjectCopier sync
the proxy state to the copied Footage node, marking the copy project
modified so RenderWorkerPool writes a fresh graph snapshot.
- Introduce ReadDirectionInput() helper that accepts both integer and
string ('Forward'/'Inverse') representations of the direction combo.
- Log every processor creation with the raw direction value and the OCIO
transform direction being used, along with whether it is main or worker.
- This helps determine why Forward/Inverse switching reportedly has no
effect in the viewer/worker.
Tests still pass.
EnsureProcessor() was returning early whenever a processor existed and
processor_dirty_ was false, without checking whether the file or direction
input had changed. As a result, switching Forward/Inverse in the main GUI
re-used the old processor and produced no visible difference.
Now EnsureProcessor() also compares the current inputs against the values
used to create last_processor_, so direction/file changes always trigger a
regeneration before the color transform job is emitted.
- Override OCIOLutNode::Value() to ensure the processor is created/updated
before the color transform job is emitted.
- In the worker process, mark the processor dirty on input/config changes
instead of creating it synchronously during LoadGraph, which blocked the
main process waiting for the graph load acknowledgement.
- Keep eager processor generation in the main GUI process so the viewer
cache is invalidated immediately when the LUT file or direction changes.
- Mark the ProjectCopier's internal render-proxy project as modified when
its update queue is processed, and reset the flag after RenderWorkerPool
writes a new graph snapshot. This fixes the worker loading a stale graph
snapshot after switching cube files or direction, which caused the old
LUT effect to persist.
All existing tests pass.
Temporarily disable the last_path_/last_direction_ reuse check to rule
out stale processor reuse as the cause of LUT changes not appearing in
the viewer.
Reversing the order ensures that any render tasks that finish after the
cancel request will find the cache already invalidated, preventing stale
LUT-processed frames from being written back and shown in the viewer.
Checking applicationName was not reliable. The worker process uses
QGuiApplication while the main process uses QApplication, so use
qobject_cast<QApplication*> to determine whether it is safe to access
RenderManager/PreviewAutoCacher. This prevents the worker from crashing
when loading or switching LUT files.
The LUT processor generation was calling RenderManager::GetCacher()
during project load in the render worker, but the worker has no
RenderManager/PreviewAutoCacher. This caused a SEGV and made the main
process hang waiting for the worker. Only cancel/invalidate caches in
the main GUI process.
After synchronously generating the new LUT processor, cancel any
running background video cache jobs before invalidating the cache.
This prevents the preview autocacher from re-rendering the entire
timeline, which was causing the UI to freeze, while still updating
the current visible frame with the new LUT.
Background generation caused the UI to freeze indefinitely when
switching LUT files, likely due to a deadlock between the worker
process, the preview autocacher, and the asynchronous set_processor
path. Synchronous generation is fast enough for typical 33^3 .cube
files and keeps the cache invalidation logic simple and safe.
The passthrough fix in OCIOBaseNode::Value() is retained so the
viewer shows the input frame while a processor is being created.
InvalidateAll() on the OCIO LUT node caused the preview autocacher to
re-render the entire timeline, freezing the UI when switching LUT files.
Instead, let the new processor be used naturally on the next render
request (scrubbing/playback).
InvalidateAll() on the OCIO LUT node triggered the worker's
PreviewAutoCacher to re-cache the entire timeline, causing the main
process to freeze while waiting for frames. Only invalidate in the
main GUI process so the viewer refreshes; the worker will naturally
use the new processor on its next render request.
- Pass through input texture when the LUT processor is not ready yet,
preventing black frames while the processor is being generated.
- Serialize processor generation with a single in-flight task to avoid
concurrent OCIO lock contention that could freeze the UI.
- Invalidate cached frames after the async processor is set so the viewer
refreshes automatically without requiring the playhead to be moved.
- Add OAK_DISABLE_HWACCEL environment variable to force software decoding.
- Add FFmpegDecoderHW regression test for H.264 4:2:2 10-bit decoding.
This commit resolves several categories of OFX plugin failures that
manifested as magenta (pink) render output or crashes:
1. Param default-value initialization
- IntegerInstance, DoubleInstance, BooleanInstance, ChoiceInstance,
and StringInstance now read kOfxParamPropDefault from the descriptor
at construction time. Previously, when no PluginNode was attached
(integration-test mode), get() returned 0/0.0/false, causing
generator plugins to receive invalid extent/format/PAR values and
crash in coordinate assertions.
- IntegerInstance also fixed uninitialized `id` that caused
kOfxStatErrBadHandle in CImg plugins.
2. Clip property initialization
- newClipInstance() now seeds pixelDepth and components from the
host VideoParams instead of leaving them as None. This prevents
Transform3x3Plugin and similar plugins from asserting on
getPixelComponentCount() during fetchClip inside createInstance.
- getAspectRatio() and getProjectPixelAspectRatio() now fall back
to 1.0 when the project's PAR is not yet set, avoiding division-
by-zero in coordinate conversion.
3. Frame-rate and time-base preservation
- setInputTexture() no longer overwrites the clip's frame_rate or
time_base with the input texture's values. Multi-input plugins
were crashing because setupClipPreferencesArgs throws when inputs
have mismatched rates.
4. Render loop hardening
- getClipPreferences() is now wrapped in try/catch so that frame-
rate mismatch exceptions mark render failure instead of aborting
the render thread.
- getRegionOfInterestAction() treats kOfxStatErrBadHandle as non-
fatal and falls back to default RoI.
- RenderPlugin syncs all clip instances after setVideoParam so that
getAspectRatio/getFrameRate return valid values before
createInstanceAction queries them.
5. Test suite updates
- All PluginMisc tests now use F32 input to match the host pipeline
default.
- CreateGradientTexture fixed to support F32 pixel format.
- Added CImgBilateral and CImgGuided_MultiInput tests.
- Secret parameters are now registered as hidden Node inputs so that
getClipPreferences can read them (fixes generator pink screen).
6. Debug logging in HostSupport
- clipGetImage and clipGetRegionOfDefinition now catch exceptions
and log the failing clip name for easier debugging.
Hide non-texture OFX params from node graph
--------------------------------------------
OFX plugins like ColorCorrect expose dozens of scalar parameters as
node inputs, making nodes extremely tall and pushing Source/Mask far
down. Previously attempted via kInputFlagHidden, but that also hid
them from the parameter panel.
Fix: move the filter to NodeViewItem::IsInputValid() instead.
For OFX plugin nodes (getPluginInstance() != nullptr), only
kTexture inputs are rendered as ports. Scalar parameters remain
fully visible in the parameter panel.

Standardize OFX host coordinate system
--------------------------------------
Olive's OFX host had partial and inconsistent coordinate handling.
1. Fix Project coordinate methods
- getProjectSize() / getProjectExtent() / getProjectOffset()
now multiply X by pixel_aspect_ratio(), returning canonical
coordinates per the OFX spec.
2. Fix Clip default RoD
- OliveClipInstance::getRegionOfDefinition() default now returns
{0, 0, width*PAR, height} instead of raw pixel coords.
3. Add parameter coordinate system conversion
- DoubleInstance / Double2DInstance / Double3DInstance now check
_descriptor.getDefaultCoordinateSystem().
- For kOfxParamCoordinatesNormalised:
get: internal pixel value -> normalised (divide by extent)
set: normalised plugin value -> pixel (multiply by extent)
- DefaultValueForParam() also converts normalised defaults to
canonical before storing in Node, keeping Olive internal/UI
values consistently in pixel space.

All OpenFX plugins were previously hardcoded to return kCategoryUnknown,
causing them to pile up under "Uncategorized" in the node creation menu.
This commit introduces a two-level grouping system for OFX plugins:
1. Add new kCategoryOpenFX top-level category
- Node::CategoryID enum extended with kCategoryOpenFX
- PluginNode::Category() now returns {kCategoryOpenFX}
- Node::GetCategoryName() returns "OpenFX"
2. Add secondary sub-grouping support
- Node base class gains virtual SubCategory() method
- PluginNode implements SubCategory() backed by sub_category_ member
- sub_category_ is set in the constructor from the plugin's OFX context:
Filter → "Filter"
Generator → "Generator"
Transition → "Transition"
others → "General"
3. Update NodeFactory::CreateMenu()
- When a node belongs to kCategoryOpenFX and provides a non-empty
SubCategory(), creates a second-level submenu under "OpenFX"
- Nodes without a sub-category are placed directly in the top menu
Expected menu layout:
OpenFX
├── Filter
│ ├── ColorCorrect
│ └── ...
├── Generator
├── Transition
└── General
All 4 test suites pass.
ColorCorrectOFX and similar plugins declare per-channel controls
(Gamma, Contrast, Saturation, Gain, Offset) as kOfxParamTypeRGBA.
Olive previously mapped every RGBA param to NodeValue::kColor and
rendered it as a ColorButton, which is semantically wrong for
adjustment sliders.
This commit adds heuristic semantic detection to distinguish
"true color" inputs (color pickers) from "per-channel scalar"
inputs (float sliders):
- label/hint/name keywords ("gamma", "contrast", "gain", ...)
- display range outside [0, 1]
- uniform default values across all channels
The detected semantic ("color" or "scalar") is stored as the
node input property "color_semantic". The display range and hint
are also persisted as "min" / "max" / "tooltip".
NodeParamViewWidgetBridge now branches on "color_semantic":
- "scalar" → 4× FloatSlider (reuses existing ProcessSlider /
keyframe-track logic, since kColor already splits into 4 tracks)
- otherwise → ColorButton (unchanged)
All 4 test suites pass.
