What does this PR do?

Allows to edits keyframe value. When the playhead is placed over the keyframe ( Ctrl ->/<-), its value is read into the inspector and can be modified. Pressing Shift+<keyframe_label> removes the keyframe, Ctrl+<keyframe_label> removes all the keyframes.
When at least one keyframe is set, modifying a property value auto adds a keyframe at the keyframe position. No keyframe - clip properties are modified.

Type of change

  • Bug fix

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor now supports playhead-local keyframe editing. Inspector fields and canvas gestures use interpolated values, keyed controls lock off-clip, and transition offsets are preserved during box resizing. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Playhead-aware keyframe editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keyframe evaluation and mutation
app.js, test/keyframes.test.js
Keyframe reads and writes now use the playhead, shared timing tolerance, local resets, auto-keying, and off-clip refusal rules.
Inspector editing and synchronization
app.js, style.css, index.html, README.md, test/keyframes.test.js
The inspector shows interpolated values, supports local and channel resets, updates each tick without rebuilding the DOM, and disables keyed controls off-clip.
Canvas gesture integration
app.js, test/keyframes.test.js
Canvas gestures write through keyframe-aware setters. Box resizing subtracts transition-envelope translation.
Validation and runtime support
.gitignore, AGENTS.md
Runtime live.json is ignored. The validation command now runs node --test.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 79f9f

Editable keyframes now follow the playhead, but some repeated edits and rejected keyframe actions can make undo and redo behave unexpectedly. These recovery issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Propagate speed-channel mutations to linked audio stems.

These paths mutate only c. A linked video's audio stems keep their own props.speed and keyframes.speed.

mediaTimeAt() and renderAudioMix() evaluate each stem independently. A video speed edit, reset, keyframe toggle, or channel clear therefore causes audio and picture to use different media times.

Apply every speed-channel mutation to all members from withLinked([c]). Add a regression test for linked video and audio speed keyframes.

Defer text-box conversion until the drag starts.

ensureTextBox() now updates or inserts fontSize and scale keyframes during pointerdown. This occurs before Line 5553 creates the undo snapshot.

If the user presses and releases a corner without moving, the conversion remains in memory without a save or undo entry. If the user drags, the undo snapshot already contains the converted state.

Capture the original state before ensureTextBox(), or perform the conversion only after the movement threshold is crossed.

Propagate speed edits to all linked clips before refreshing the audio hold.

setAnimProp, toggleKfAtPlayhead, and the reset paths modify only the selected clip. syncMedia() then evaluates each clip separately, so linked audio can retain its old speed while linked video uses the new speed keyframe during preview. Propagate the edited speed state, including speed keyframes, to every withLinked() partner before calling refreshAudioHoldFor("speed").

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Commit undo state only after a keyframe mutation succeeds. When the playhead is off the clip, resetPropAtPlayhead and toggleKfAtPlayhead return false without changing project.clips. The current handlers still call pushUndo(), which records a duplicate snapshot and clears runtime.redo. Capture the pre-mutation JSON snapshot, then commit it only when a reset succeeds or toggleKfAtPlayhead() returns true. Update pushUndo() to accept that snapshot so it does not capture the already-mutated state.

{ once: true } limits the undo snapshot to the first focus per element.

syncInspectorPlayhead patches fields without rebuilding the inspector DOM, so an input element can survive many edit sessions. After the first focus, the listener is removed.

Trigger: focus Scale, drag it, click elsewhere, focus Scale again, drag it. The second edit group produces no undo entry.

Drop { once: true } and guard against repeated snapshots inside one focus instead.

Not sure about audio speed though. What I did before was incorporating WebAudio, that will not preserve pitch. Pitch can be preserved via ffmpeg atempo filter during export, but in browser pitch will change.

Merged. One follow-up bug I hit while testing this in a live editor.

syncInspectorPlayhead() commits inspSyncStamp (app.js:3914) before the loop that skips the focused input (app.js:3920). So a tick that skipped a field still records itself as a completed sync. Focus isn't part of the stamp, so blurring doesn't invalidate it, and the field is never repaired until time / selection / inspPropGen / start / duration changes again.

It's reachable from the keyboard because isTypingTarget() returns false for type="range" (app.js:789), so the global shortcuts move the playhead while a slider still holds focus.

Repro — paste into the editor console on current main:

const c = project.clips[0];
c.keyframes = { scale: [{ t: 0, v: 1 }, { t: 2, v: 4 }] };
setTime(2.0); renderInspector();

const slider = document.querySelector('[data-k=scale]');
slider.focus();           // user is mid-edit on the slider
setTime(1.0);             // a shortcut moves the playhead
syncInspectorPlayhead();  // tick 1: skips the focused field, commits the stamp
slider.blur();            // user clicks away
syncInspectorPlayhead();  // tick 2: stamp unchanged -> early return
syncInspectorPlayhead();  // ...and every tick after that

({ trueValue: evalProps(c, 1.0).scale,
   slider:    slider.value,
   label:     document.querySelector('[data-val=scale]').textContent });

Result:

{ trueValue: 2.5, slider: "4", label: "4" }

The inspector sits at 4 indefinitely while the actual value at the playhead is 2.5.

Smallest fix is to not commit the stamp when a field was skipped:

let skipped = false;
// ...
if (active === input) { skipped = true; continue; }
// ...
if (!skipped) inspSyncStamp = stamp;   // instead of committing up front

syncInspectorOffClip() has the same input === active skip, so its disabled state can go stale the same way.

Fixed on main in b45951c.

I went with putting the focused field's key into inspStampNow() rather than the skipped flag I suggested above — the flag version would have left the stamp uncommitted for as long as a field held focus, so the gate would fall through and do both querySelectorAll sweeps every rAF tick while you were parked on a slider. Folding focus into the stamp instead means a blur invalidates it exactly once, and an idle focused field still short-circuits: 0 sweeps over 20 idle ticks either way.

Verified in the editor — same repro now gives { trueValue: 2.5, whileFocused: "4", afterBlur: "2.5" }, and the focused field is still never rewritten mid-edit. Added a regression test to test/keyframes.test.js that fails on the old code and passes on the new (95/95, CI green).
