KDDockWidgets may need an event-loop iteration to finish opening or
tabifying a dock widget before raise() can switch to it. Defer raise(),
activateWindow(), and setFocus() via QMetaObject::invokeMethod with
Qt::QueuedConnection after show().
Call setAsCurrentTab() and activateWindow() on the ParamPanel dock widget
in ShowSelectedNodeInParamEditor so the parameter editor becomes the active
tab/window when invoked from the node view context menu or Shift+P shortcut.
In NodeParamView::SetSelectedNodes, after locating the target node item,
expand and raise its containing NodeParamViewContext dock widget so the
active tab/folded section switches to the one that actually holds the node.
- Ensure right-clicking a node that isn't currently selected makes it the
sole selection before showing the context menu, so 'Show in Parameter Editor'
operates on the clicked node.
- Emit all selected node/context pairs when jumping to the parameter editor.
- Guard dragging_items_ iteration in mouseReleaseEvent against deleted items
by snapshotting keys as QPointer and skipping null entries.
- Move Behavior-General options (hover focus, slider ladder, scroll zooms)
into the General preferences tab.
- Move Behavior-Audio option (audio scrubbing) into the Audio preferences tab.
- Promote remaining Behavior categories (Timeline, Playback, Project, Nodes,
Rendering) to top-level sidebar entries without the 'Behavior - ' prefix.
- Update Chinese translations for the new sidebar titles and fill unfinished
Behavior tab strings.
NodeView:
- Remove double-click jump-to-parameter-editor behavior; keep expand/collapse.
- Add right-click context menu item 'Show in Parameter Editor'.
- Add Shift+P shortcut bound to the same action.
Render:
- Fix crash in PreviewAutoCacher::ClearSingleFrameRenders when proxy playback
causes a render ticket to finish synchronously before the watcher pointer is
returned. Defer the watcher Finished signal via queued connection so the
caller can safely register the watcher before it is deleted.
Behavior preferences used a nested QTreeWidget with groups like General,
Audio, Timeline, etc. Replace it with one tab per group in the left sidebar
so users can jump directly to a category without expanding a secondary menu.
Also wire double-clicking a node in the node graph to emit a selection
signal with its context, causing the parameter panel to scroll to that
node's parameters (in addition to showing/raising the panel as before).
When no explicit color transform was set, ManagedDisplayWidget fell back to
the project's default input colorspace. For scene-referred reference spaces
like ACEScg / Linear this produced a raw, greenish image on the viewer
instead of a monitor-ready picture. Default to the OCIO config's default
display and view so the viewer looks correct out of the box, while still
honoring any Color Space / Display / View choice the user makes from the
context menu.
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.
The Waveform, Vectorscope and Histogram panels were black when running on
the Vulkan / backend-neutral render path because ScopeBase::OnPaint()
returned early with a TODO. The viewer emits GPU textures that live in the
viewer's own renderer; on Vulkan each ManagedDisplayWidget has a separate
device, so those textures cannot be sampled directly.
Fix by:
- Adding a backend-neutral branch in ScopeBase::OnPaint() that downloads the
reference texture (cross-renderer if needed), color-manages it into a U8
offscreen texture, downloads it to a QImage, and draws via QPainter.
- Adding a pure virtual DrawScopeSoftware() to ScopeBase and implementing it
for WaveformScope, VectorscopeScope and HistogramScope.
- Fixing the managed_tex_up_to_date_ flag that was never set to true in the
OpenGL path, which caused the color-managed scope texture to be recreated
on every paint.
All gtest suites pass.
- The playback backup timer was using timebase_dbl() in seconds as its
QTimer interval, which truncated to 0 ms for normal frame rates. This
caused the timer to fire continuously and starve the event loop when
the video display was hidden, e.g. in Show Waveform Only mode, freezing
the UI and stopping the playhead. Multiply by 1000 to use milliseconds.
- If PlayInternal has neither video nor audio to prequeue, call
FinishPlayPreprocess immediately so the backup timer starts and the
playhead advances even in waveform-only mode with no audio.
- AudioWaveformView now uses the video frame rate as its timebase
(falling back to the default sequence frame rate), preventing the
enormous scene rect that froze the UI when it previously used the
audio sample rate.
- Call UpdateSceneRect() after changing the waveform timebase so the
QGraphicsScene bounds are recomputed immediately.
- Refresh the waveform view's viewer/timebase whenever the waveform
visibility mode changes, ensuring the correct timebase is applied
even if the node was connected earlier with a different setting.
- 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.
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.
- Extend ProxyManager::ProxyParams with crf and preset, and update
ProxyTask/ProxyParamsEqual to use them.
- Add global config keys ProxyWidth, ProxyHeight, ProxyCRF, ProxyPreset.
- Add a Proxy Settings group to Preferences -> Disk with width/height/CRF/preset
controls.
- Read proxy settings from config when generating proxies from the timeline.
- Add Tools -> Proxy Settings... menu entry that opens Preferences on the Disk tab.
- Add ConfigDialogBase::SetCurrentTab() so PreferencesDialog can start on a
specific tab.
- RenderWorkerPool::DecodeInputFrame now uses the proxy filename/decoder/stream
from FootageJob when a proxy is attached, so generated proxies are actually
used during render.
- Add qDebug/qWarning logging to TimelineWidget::GenerateProxiesForSelectedClips
and ProxyTask::Run to diagnose why Generate Proxy appears to do nothing.
- Extract libolive-rendercore static library to minimize backend link boundary.
- Add DynamicRenderer adapter with C ABI (oakgl/oakvulkan shared libs).
- Make OAK_ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RENDER_BACKEND default ON with OpenGL fallback.
- Implement VulkanRenderer prototype (textures, shaders, UBO blit, readback).
- Add backend-neutral viewer readback path (offscreen -> QImage -> QPainter).
- Refactor PluginRenderer to be renderer-agnostic; OFX plugins fall back to CPU
path on non-OpenGL backends while preserving OpenGL render path.
- Add Renderer::AttachOutputTexture/DetachOutputTexture and C ABI forwards.
- Update docs/zh/render-backend-dynamic-plan.md for Phase 3/4/5.
This commit fixes crashes (SIGSEGV in CImg blur_bilateral) and black-frame
corruption artifacts during playback and scrubbing on macOS Apple Silicon.
Root cause analysis:
1. macOS uses Tile-Based Deferred Rendering (TBDR). glFlush() does not
guarantee tile memory writeback, causing glReadPixels to read incomplete
tiles (black/corrupted frames) and cache them to disk.
2. Olive uses multiple shared OpenGL contexts (RenderProcessor contexts vs.
thread-local PluginRenderer context). glFinish() only waits for the
current context, not the shared context that produced the texture. CPU
readback in PluginRenderer could read partially-rendered tiles.
3. OlivePluginInstance and OliveClipInstance are not thread-safe. Concurrent
RenderProcessors could corrupt internal QMap/images_ and params_ via
setInputTexture/renderAction races.
Fixes:
- OpenGLRenderer::Flush() on macOS now uses glFinish() unconditionally.
- OpenGLRenderer::DownloadFromTexture() and OpenGLRenderer::Blit() insert
glFinish() before readback/detach to ensure tile writeback completes.
- PluginRenderer::RenderPlugin() now acquires a per-instance mutex to
serialize concurrent OFX render calls.
- Before CPU readback in PluginRenderer, flush the renderer that originally
produced each input texture, ensuring cross-context synchronization.
- RenderProcessor::ProcessVideoFootage() flushes after BlitColorManaged.
- Add black-frame detection in ProcessVideoCacheJob() to auto-purge TBDR-
corrupted cache files.
- Add diagnostic qDebug() logging in viewer, decoder, renderer, and plugin
paths to aid future debugging.
This commit removes redundant readbacks and uploads in the OpenFX
plugin pipeline, achieving zero-copy rendering for GL-capable
plugins and reducing CPU path overhead.
PluginRenderer (OpenGL path):
- Skip ReadbackTextureToFrame + ConvertFrameIfNeeded + Upload after
plugin render. The destination texture is already valid on GPU.
- Pass readback_cpu=false to setInputTexture() so input textures are
provided via loadTexture() (GL texture IDs) instead of being
downloaded to CPU Image buffers.
- Remove duplicate ReadbackTextureToFrame block between
getClipPreferences and the second setInputTexture call.
OliveClipInstance:
- Add optional bool readback_cpu=true to setInputTexture(). When
false, only params and input_textures_ are updated; CPU readback
and memcpy into Image are skipped.
- Add pruneImagesCache() to prevent unbounded growth of images_.
Input clips are limited to 8 cached frames; output clips are
left untouched.
Micro-optimizations:
- Replace per-row memcpy loops with single block memcpy when
src/dst strides are contiguous (common case in Olive pipeline).
- Remove dead GL_PREAMBLE macro definition.
fix(viewer): resolve playback head lag, frozen frames, and pause delay
Three playback pipeline behavioral issues are fixed:
1. Prequeue blocked playhead start:
Reduce kVideoPlaybackInterval from 0.5s to 0.1s. This lowers
prequeue length from 15–30 frames to 3–6 frames, so the
playback timer starts much sooner after pressing Play.
2. Frozen display during playback:
Relax the hard frame-drop logic in RendererGeneratedFrameForQueue.
When the queue has fewer than 2 frames, keep late frames instead
of dropping them, preventing the viewer from freezing entirely
when rendering cannot keep up with playback speed.
3. Delayed frame update after pause:
Cancel in-flight render tickets in PauseInternal() before
deleting queue watchers. Previously the render thread continued
processing stale playback frames, blocking the single-frame
render requested by UpdateTextureFromNode().
- Fix SIGSEGV in PluginMisc.Keyer by linking Param::SetInstance to instances.
Olive's custom param instances (IntegerInstance, DoubleInstance, etc.) were
not passing the SetInstance pointer to the OpenFX HostSupport base class,
leaving _paramSetInstance as nullptr. When Keyer called paramSetValue during
createInstanceAction, the suite function dereferenced the null pointer in
paramChangedByPlugin(). Now newParam() passes 'this' to every constructor.
- Fix render-thread crash when OFX plugins set params during rendering.
MinOFX calls paramSetValue inside createInstanceAction from the render
thread. SubmitUndoCommand() used to push undo commands directly to
UndoStack, which modifies QAction state (GUI-only). Added IsGuiThread()
check: non-GUI threads execute redo_now() and discard the command without
touching the undo stack.
- Enable PluginMisc.MergeOver and PluginMisc.Keyer integration tests.
MergeOver now supplies both Source and Bg textures; Keyer uses U16 format.
Both pass in the full test suite.
- Make ViewerQueue thread-safe with QMutex around AppendTimewise/PurgeBefore.
Adds copy ctor and assignment to support mutex-per-instance semantics.
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.

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.
Refactor FFmpeg frame processing and improve focus management in panels. Add memory sanitization for debug builds and update KDDockWidgets integration.
