Description

Replace the clip speed button grid with a slider that shows the current speed and moves in 0.25× steps, up to the device's supported preview speed (capped at 30×). Simplify clip audio settings to a single “Mute clip” toggle.

Motivation

The clip panel had too many controls for adjusting speed and muting a clip. This makes those two actions easier to find.

Type of Change

  • Refactor / Code Cleanup

Related Issue(s)

Requested after #940. No separate issue.

Implementation

Reuses the existing slider and switch. Removes the clip panel's separate-audio, track volume, and normalization controls and their unused props. Existing saved audio settings and audio processing are unchanged. The supported speed limit is calculated once per panel mount.

Testing Guide

TypeScript, lint for the changed components, and translation consistency checks pass.

Select a clip, drag the speed slider or use its arrow keys, and confirm its duration and speed label update. Toggle “Mute clip” and check playback. Select another clip and confirm the controls reflect that clip's settings.

Screenshots / Video

No screenshot attached. Visual verification is still needed.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my code.
  • Visual verification completed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Adjust clip speed with a slider covering the preview rates supported by your device.
    • A status message indicates when a selected speed is outside the supported range.
    • Clip muting remains available through a dedicated switch.
  • Changes

    • Removed clip source-audio separation and per-track source-audio controls from the settings panel.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved screen recording timing and handling of initial video and audio frames.
  • Localization

    • Clarified the clip mute label across supported languages so it explicitly refers to muting the clip.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The clip settings panel now uses runtime-supported speed limits, removes source-audio controls, retains clip mute, updates prop wiring and labels, and adjusts screen-capture first-frame timing.

Changes

Clip settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Playback-rate range detection
src/components/video-editor/videoPlayback/playbackRate.ts, src/components/video-editor/videoPlayback/playbackRate.test.ts
The helper detects supported quarter-step playback-rate boundaries. Parameterized tests cover multiple runtime ranges.
Clip settings controls
src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
The panel uses a bounded speed slider, reports unsupported selected speeds, removes source-audio controls, and retains clip mute. Changed mute labels identify the clip.
Settings panel prop wiring
src/components/video-editor/layout/useEditorSettingsPanelProps.ts, src/components/video-editor/VideoEditor.tsx
The settings panel prop hook and its caller no longer pass audio state or source-audio callbacks. Clip speed, mute, and delete props remain wired.

Screen capture timing

Layer / File(s) Summary
First-frame timing and audio gating
electron/native/ScreenCaptureKitRecorder.swift, electron/native/ScreenCaptureKitRecorder.test.ts
The recorder delays presentation-time calculation until branch checks pass, resets the first-sample origin after a rejected first frame, and gates audio output on accepted video. Tests verify the ordering.

@webadderall I found two issues in the supported speed range.

  1. maxClipSpeed does not handle a saved speed from a device with a higher preview limit. For example, a project can contain 30×, but the current device can support only 16×. SliderControl then receives value={30} and max={16}. It renders the track at 100%, reports aria-valuenow="30" with aria-valuemax="16", and changes the project speed to 16× when the user first interacts with the control. Clamp the displayed value or render a disabled out-of-range state before passing the value to SliderControl.

  2. The range probe starts at , but the slider exposes 0.25×, 0.5×, and 0.75×. If the runtime rejects one of these slower rates, the user can select it and receives the unsupported-speed toast from handleClipSpeedChange. Probe the lower bounds too, or retain per-value support checks.

The removed settings-panel props have no remaining SettingsPanel consumer. The source-audio settings remain connected to persistence, preview, timeline, and export code. This preserves existing saved audio settings and processing.

The PR adds no tests for the slider range or saved out-of-range speeds.

@coderabbitai review Addressed the supported-range feedback: probe contiguous quarter-step support below and above 1x, clamp only the slider display, and show the actual saved out-of-range speed with the existing unsupported-preview message. Saved project speed is unchanged until the user edits it. Also corrected the Italian mute label. Four playback-rate tests, TypeScript, scoped lint, and translation checks pass.

@webadderall: Confirmed. The changes address both supported-range findings.

getPreviewPlaybackRateRange now probes contiguous 0.25× steps below and above . It limits the range to 0.25× through 30×.

SettingsPanel clamps only the value passed to SliderControl. It keeps the saved project speed unchanged. It also displays the actual saved out-of-range speed with the unsupported-preview status message.

The playback-rate tests cover supported ranges with lower bounds of 0.25×, 0.5×, and . git diff --check reports no whitespace errors.

I did not independently run the reported TypeScript, lint, or translation checks.
