Introduce editable text layers: a resizable text box with editable text,
font size, color, font family, and alignment.
Core:
- New TextLayer/TextContent (text_layer.rs), wired into AnyLayer/LayerType
and all the exhaustive match sites; structured so content can be keyframed
later via content_at().
- fonts.rs: thread-local parley FontContext with three bundled fonts
(Liberation Sans/Serif/Mono, SIL OFL), system-font enumeration consolidated
to base families, document-embedded fonts, glyph/caret/selection geometry,
and a background preloader for the picker fonts.
- Rendering via parley layout + Scene::draw_glyphs (renderer.rs); text
composites through the vector path.
- Actions: CreateTextClipAction (vector-layer branch, undoable),
SetTextContentAction, ResizeTextBoxAction.
- .beam font embedding: MediaKind::Font rows (content-hash dedupe) written on
save and registered on load, with bundled-default fallback.
- VectorClip content bounds include text boxes so text-only clips are
selectable/draggable.
Editor:
- Text tool: click empty/raster/video to create a top-level text layer, or a
vector layer to create+enter a clip containing the text; click an existing
box to edit it.
- Hybrid in-place editing: a hidden egui TextEdit drives input/IME/caret while
the text and caret/selection render in Vello; empty just-created layers are
removed on commit.
- Selection outline + 8 resize handles (re-wrap text) with hover cursors;
factored the corner/edge resize-cursor mapping shared with the Transform tool.
- Info panel: edit text, size, color, alignment, box size, and a font-family
picker that previews each entry in its own font (fonts preloaded in the
background to avoid hitches).
Deps: add parley (git, pinned to match vello's peniko); bundle Liberation
fonts under lightningbeam-core/assets/fonts. Gitignore the local
.cargo/config.toml used to select a machine's ffmpeg.
Video was the only media type always kept external (VideoClip.file_path),
so a project with video wasn't self-contained. Now video packs into the
SQLite container under the same large-media policy as audio (pack < 2 GB
unless the user chose Reference), and both the frames and the embedded audio
track decode by streaming directly from the blob — no temp files.
- New crate ffmpeg-blob-io: an AVIOContext-over-Read+Seek shim (BlobInput)
that lets ffmpeg demux from an arbitrary byte source. Isolates all the
unsafe FFI + ffmpeg ABI coupling (version-pinned =8.0.0/=8.0.1). Manual
Drop teardown order; AVSEEK_SIZE restores the read position (FFmpeg assumes
a size query doesn't move it — required for MP4 moov-at-end).
- Schema/save/load: VideoClip.media_id; save_beam packs/references video as
MediaKind::Video (keyed by clip id); load resolves packed vs referenced and
reports missing sources. A packed clip points its linked video-audio pool
entry's media_id at the video row so the audio streams from the same blob.
- Frames: video.rs VideoSource{Path,Packed} threaded through new/seek/scan/
probe/thumbnails (a fresh BlobReader per open); editor builds the source
from current_file_path (now set before register_loaded_videos).
- Audio: VideoAudioReader::open_source via BlobInput; the disk_reader
StreamSource block on packed video-audio is removed; the engine's existing
factory activation routes it unchanged.
Tests: ffmpeg-blob-io AVIO unit tests (WAV via Cursor, seek, open/drop loop);
core packed_video_stream (blob->AVIO->Input) and beam_archive video round-trip;
daw-backend open_source test (compiles; links/runs only off-container).
Runtime-verified: a packed video plays frames + audio after the source file
is removed.
Image asset bytes are now stored as MediaKind::ImageAsset rows in the SQLite
container (chunked, kept-in-place on re-save) instead of base64-embedded in the
project JSON — the pageable storage Phase 4 needs.
- ImageAsset.data is `#[serde(default, skip_serializing)]`: never written to JSON,
but still deserialized for old projects (base64) which then migrate to the
container on the next save.
- save_beam writes each asset's bytes (keyed by asset id; ext from the source path),
keeping an existing row when bytes aren't resident; live_media covers them so orphan
cleanup doesn't drop them.
- load_beam_sqlite eager-reads the bytes back into `data` (Phase 4 makes this lazy +
LRU). Old base64 projects keep their JSON-deserialized data (no container row).
The lib unit tests had gone stale (time values became newtypes) and no longer
compiled. Updated the test code to the current API and fixed the few real issues
the now-running tests surfaced.
Test-only:
- Wrap raw f64 time literals in Beats(...) where the API now takes Beats
(automation.rs); pass &TempoMap / Beats where signatures changed (clip.rs,
effect_layer.rs).
- shape.rs: assert the documented no-fill default (fill_color None) instead of Some.
- add_clip_instance / trim_clip_instances tests: register a vector clip with the
test's clip_id so the action's get_clip_duration lookup succeeds.
Production fix (delete_folder.rs):
- DeleteFolderAction(MoveToParent) reparented child subfolders to the deleted
folder's parent but never restored them on undo, orphaning them. Track the moved
subfolder ids and restore their parent on rollback.
Result: daw-backend lib 17 passed; lightningbeam-core lib 264 passed.
