Blend goes up to 10000 (it keeps its minimum of 1, below After Effects' 5)
and Jitter up to 500 %, After Effects' recorded valid ranges in the same
units. Defaults and sliders are unchanged.
The CPU and GPU renderers capped Jitter's dither at 100 %, so higher values
would be stored but render as 100. Both now take it from one function,
four_color_jitter, which keeps the dither linear up to 500 %. Blend 10000
is a finite softening (Blend squared) at the same cost.
Jitter was written as "percent" in keyframe text because its range was
0..100; a UNITS row keeps that unit.
Input/Output Black and White of every channel take -10000..10000 and Gamma
goes down to 0 (it keeps its wider maximum, 10), After Effects' recorded
valid ranges in the same units (the .aep mapping is Conv::Plain). Defaults
and the 0..1 / 0.1..3 sliders are unchanged.
Gamma 0 renders as the existing 0.01 floor, an exponent of 100, so an HDR
value a few times Input White would overflow f32 and an infinite curve
times an empty output range is NaN. The curve is now bounded at +-1e6 on
the CPU (Lv::apply) and the GPU (fxt_lv), so the output stays finite over
the whole range; values below the bound are unchanged.
The engine regression (tests/effect_ranges.rs) sets both ends of each row
through prop.set, checks undo/redo, save and reopen, and that a project
saved with the narrower ranges opens with the new ones and its values.
The viewers replace their picture only when the frame key changes, and a
frame rendered again after a LUT change had the same key, so the old look
stayed on screen. The viewer frame keys carry the LUT generation (in memory
only), which also leaves frames still rendering with the old LUT unasked
for, so the refusal of late frames is no longer needed.
A precomp instance whose Essential Property names another LUT file renders
with that file, but a layer reading the instance through a layer parameter
was keyed on the nested comp's own file, so editing the overriding file left
that layer cached.
Renders now follow a LUT file, but the viewer and RAM preview kept the
frames already rendered with the old one. A small worker stamps the LUT
files in use every two seconds and wakes the interface when one changed;
the interface then drops its frames, and a frame whose render started
before the change is not kept when it finishes.
Analysing a tracker reused its saved tracks only when their key was
today's, so solving a 0.22 project again (after a Solve Method change)
tracked the footage again, and failed when it was offline.
Their keys were compared only with today's signature, so the first edit
of a project saved by 0.22 (even adding it to the render queue, as
effectcraft-cli render does) cleared both analyses and queued them again,
and lost them when the footage was offline.
One check, warp::key_matches, now accepts a key made from today's
signature or from the one 0.22 wrote for the same frames, and keeps it.
Warp Stabilizer, the 3D Camera Tracker and Roto Brush all use it.
The regression test opens a project saved by the released 0.22.0 CLI.
A layer graded with Apply Color LUT or Lumetri's Input LUT and Look was
cached by the parameter text alone, so the same frame kept showing the old
LUT from memory and from the disk cache after the file changed. A layer's
cache key (and the key of a layer reading it, through a precomp too) now
holds each LUT file's size and modification time, and a render lists the
LUT files it read, so a frame kept on disk made with an older file is not
used.
The Warp Stabilizer, 3D Camera Tracker and Roto Brush signatures hashed
the footage item's derived Debug text, so every new Footage field changed
every signature and dropped every saved analysis (placed_page did in 0.23).
Write the same text from a named list of fields instead: a new field no
longer compiles until it is decided there. Pin the text in a test.
* fix(scriptui): bound the edges and bands a fillPath is tessellated with
* address review: cap the triangles a ScriptUI fill produces
* address review: raise fillPath limits (65,536 edges, 262,144 bands, 4M triangles, work cap); fill what fits and log a warning instead of nothing
* address review: bound the fillPath crossing scan: edges swept by top, pairs and boundaries counted against the work and band budgets
* address review: bands with crossings that were not cut are left unfilled when the crossing scan is over budget
* address review: bands left out of a fill still count against the work budget
* fix(engine): index sequence runs and folder listings on import; probe relink candidates once
* address review: cap relink candidates before cloning paths; reuse a picked folder's listing for its run lookups
* Scripting: export commands a script runs directly respect Allow Scripts to Write Files
CompItem.saveFrameToPng and exportAsMotionGraphicsTemplate checked the
file-write preference only in their JavaScript wrappers. A script could call
comp.saveFrameAs or essential.exportTemplate itself (app.run, __exec) and the
native handlers wrote the file with the preference off.
Session::refuse_export and write_output_with now refuse when the running
command was issued by a script and the preference is off, so every command
that writes a path it is given is gated the same way. The wrappers check the
gate with a new side-effect-free __file("checkWrite") instead of writing an
empty file at the destination.
* address review: clear stale export test dir before use
* test: allow script writes in script_imports_footage_and_saves
In a comp whose Start Timecode is negative, the current-time display shows
the first frames as `-0:00:00:12`, but typing that back (the Go to Time
dialog opens with it since #3419, and the Timeline's time field takes it)
read the leading `-` as "move back", so OK on an unedited dialog jumped to
another frame. There, a `-` before a full timecode is now the time's sign,
as it already is before Feet + Frames; a bare `-n` still steps back, and
comps that start at 0 or later are unchanged.

Synchronize Time of All Related Items clamped each related comp's time
with its own duration-minus-one-frame rule, so a nested comp whose
duration is off the frame grid could not reach its final partial frame.
Use comp_frame_at, as direct moves and restored times do.
A frame-rate change can leave the duration off the frame grid. The
current-time clamp used duration minus one frame, which put the last
reachable frame before a final partial frame, so a layer fitted to a
work area inside it never got the playhead. Clamp to the last frame
that starts before the end instead; on-grid durations are unchanged.
The work area need not sit on frames (a typed start, a frame-rate
change), so rounding its start to the nearest frame could land before
the new layer's in-point. show_span now rounds up to the first frame in
the span and moves nothing when the span holds no frame.
show_span now checks and moves the playhead of the comp the layer was
made in, through a new Session::set_time_of that set_time uses for the
active comp, so time sync and the text editor boundary stay the same.
With Fit New Layers to Work Area on and the playhead outside the work
area, the Type tool, shape tools and Pen now move the playhead to the
work area start so the new layer and its controls show. Layer timing is
unchanged; Layer ▸ New commands leave the playhead.
Settings ▸ General ▸ Fit New Layers to Work Area (off by default) makes
new text, solid, shape, null and adjustment layers start at the work
area start and end at its end. It applies to Layer ▸ New, the shape
tools and the Pen tool, and wins over Create Layers at Composition
Start Time. Footage and compositions keep their own length.
It never steps back up during a play, so a looping preview kept playing at a quarter of its resolution after its first loop. Without it the paced first loop caches the viewer's resolution and the next loops play in real time, as in After Effects. The setting stays for whoever prefers a lower first pass.
A GPU frame that failed or failed its health check, and a remote frame replaced before it finished, stayed counted as running on its side, so every later frame there was timed as one of several side by side and that side looked cheaper. AutoPick::abandoned releases them.
Settings > Previews > Lower Resolution When Playback Can't Keep Up (on by
default): a preview at Resolution Auto that stalls on uncached frames and
shows under 80 % of its frame rate for two seconds plays on at half the
scale, and two seconds later at a quarter if still slow, no lower than the
Adaptive Resolution Limit. Stopping goes back to the viewer's resolution
and Cache Frames When Idle fills it in. An explicit Resolution, the comp's
or the Preview panel's, is kept as set.
First playback of a 1080p comp with a blur (cache_bench --play): 9.0 to
22.1 frames/s on the CPU (about 27 once at Half), 4.1 to 16.1 with Mercury
Auto on an integrated GPU; plain clips that keep up stay at Full.
A comp left alone for a second fills its RAM preview from the current time,
so the first playback is cached instead of rendering frame by frame. Saved
settings keep their value. Two UI tests that assumed the old default set it
explicitly.
* AG4: xtask ci --affected
cargo xtask ci --affected [--base REV] [--dry-run] runs fmt, clippy, tests (nextest + doctests when available), layers, assets (only on asset changes) and wasm (only for affected L0-L4/web crates) for the packages a change can affect: changed files map to the owning package and to packages whose sources read them via ../ paths, expanded to reverse dependents. Workspace-wide inputs (root Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, .cargo/, xtask/, toolchain, clippy.toml) fall back to full CI. Documented in docs/testing.md, AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md.

* AG6: journal replay repros
Bug reports become replay scripts and crash regression tests become data files:
- engine::replay: a JSON-lines repro format (start line, command steps with
expect_error, expect queries with JSON pointer + equals, expect_no_error),
a never-panicking runner that reports per-step ok/error and the first failure,
and journal export (from the last project open; saves left out; size-capped).
- journal.export {path?} and help.exportRepro {path?} (not journaled).
- Crash capture: when the last-resort guard catches a panic in the outermost
command, the journal plus that command is saved to Repros/crash-*.jsonl in the
settings store (newest 20 kept) and the error names the file.
- Commands run by a journaled command (script steps) are no longer journaled twice.
- effectcraft-cli replay SCRIPT.jsonl [--json] [--keep-going]: exits 1 on a failed
step, unmet expectation or panic.
- crates/host/tests/repros.rs replays every tests/repros/*.jsonl; three samples
from past crash fixes (zero frame rate, Layer Settings with no selection,
New Comp from Selection with hostile overlap).
- Docs: docs/agents.md "Repro scripts"; AGENTS.md: crash fix regression test =
a .jsonl in tests/repros.

Dropping an .aep or .aepx on the window, or picking one in File > Import > File...
or Multiple Files... (also from the Home screen and the Project panel), imports it
as File > Import > Adobe After Effects Project... does, instead of failing as
unsupported footage: the losses prompt first when parts cannot come over, its
items in a folder named after the file, its first composition open.
- Several projects are asked about one at a time: the others wait in the
prompt's queue, and Cancel skips only the one it asks about. A prompt another
dialog replaced (Save changes?) strands nothing: its projects are tried with
the next import or queued behind the next prompt.
- The other files of a drop or pick import as footage, into the Project panel
only when a project is in the drop. While the prompt shows, a Photoshop file
or image sequence imports with its defaults instead of replacing the prompt,
an Interpret Footage question leaves a note instead, and a dropped .ecproj is
skipped with a note. While Save changes? waits for a dropped .ecproj, the rest
of the drop is skipped with a note instead of landing in the replaced project.
- Errors of every picked project reach the status line on both the blocking and
the non-blocking file dialog.
- The Import File dialogs list .aep, .aepx, .ecproj and .ecprojx; Replace
Footage offers footage only.
- For scripts and agents, file.import hands After Effects projects to
file.importAep; a refusal (new EngineError::Refused) names the menu entry and
`file.importAep` with `allowLosses`.
- File > Import / Export name the entry Adobe After Effects Project..., as
Adobe Premiere Pro Project...; File > Import keeps After Effects' order with
the project imports together and the formats only EffectCraft imports after a
separator. All 13 menu catalogs and the losses dialog title are updated.
- Docs: aep-import, aep-export, footage, file-format-parity, agents.

* WebAssembly ABI 2: neighbouring frames for effect plug-ins (#2773)
A wasm plug-in can export ec_api_version 2 and ec_render2 to receive the layer's previous and next frames, their layer times and validity flags. Neighbours come from PluginHost::input_at, are resampled onto the current grid, and are zeroed when absent. ABI 1 modules (ec_render) load and render unchanged; the manifest api stays independent. A layer with an ABI 2 plug-in keys the render cache on layer time; the Plug-in Library accepts ABI 1-2 releases. Docs, help text and tests updated.
* Fix ABI 2 neighbour times on NTSC frame boundaries
ime * fps is often a few ulps off an integer at rates such as 24000/1001. The old boundary test then took the bracket branch and passed the current frame back as prev (or
ext). Treat a near-integer as a frame boundary within 1e-6 frames, and test 2400 frames at 24000/1001: every boundary must get the frames either side. Also document the loader helpers for the docstring coverage check.

* #3099: placed .ai pages fill the size After Effects stored; null anchors default to the corner
Footage of an .aep keeps the size After Effects stored for a placed PDF / Illustrator / EPS
file (the ArtBox, rounded up), and masks and anchors are measured against it. The page was
drawn as a PDF viewer frames it (CropBox, /Rotate) at its own size, scaled by the width ratio
at full resolution and stretched to the stored aspect below 3/4: masks too large, art off
centre, squeezed at half resolution.
- effectcraft-pdf: Framing::Placed / parse_page_framed (ArtBox clipped to the CropBox,
/Rotate ignored); boxes with a non-finite corner or span are not used
- Footage::placed_page (set by the .aep importer, serialized only when true): the page is
framed so and filled into the stored size (effectcraft_render::vector_fit), decoded,
continuously rasterised and in Create Shapes from Vector Layer; Reload keeps the size;
the frame cache keys it by size and framing
- .aep import/export: a null's absent Anchor Point is [0, 0], as After Effects reads it
- fixture ai-mask-3099.aep (own synthetic files, scrubbed, profiles stubbed) and tests
against After Effects 2026's read-back
* #3099: placed-page framing only for .ai and .pdf, EPS as before; doc comments
After Effects' sizing was measured with PDFs named .ai only; an EPS from an .aep keeps its
bounding box at its own size (listed as not measured in docs/gaps.md and docs/aep-import.md).
Doc comments on the touched functions.
* #3099: shapes from a placed page keep its frame (track matte)
Create Shapes from Vector Layer converted every path of a placed page, so bleed, art past the
artboard or the page's background showed where the footage's raster hides them. The layers it
makes from a placed page now take a hidden "<layer> Frame" shape layer (the footage's
width x height) as their Alpha track matte: drawn at the comp's resolution, its edge is the
raster's on shape and image layers alike. The command returns the frame layer's id too.
Related to #1365. Display labels only; effect, command, parameter, panel and serialized ids and the AEP/script match-name tables are unchanged.
- 69 Cycore CC effects, Key Light, Mocha shape, Lumetri Color/Scopes and the Mercury renderer labels get descriptive names; the old names stay case-insensitive lookup and search aliases.
- Backend::parse accepts the new renderer labels, so reported settings round-trip.
- Display names are unique per language in every effect catalog (new test).
- Warp Stabilizer and Roto Brush keep their names until RFC-0029 settles.
- Mapping in docs/feature-naming.md.
