- Include `resolvedWebcamVideoUrl` in the dependency arrays for
`captureProjectThumbnail` and `handleExport` so thumbnail capture and
export settings stay in sync when the webcam URL refreshes.
- Clear `VideoMuxer.streamSink` before awaiting `closeIpcExportStream`
in `finalize()` to close the race where a concurrent `destroy()` →
`abortStream()` could try to close the same stream ID a second time.
Previously the smoke-export harness only accepted a raw MP4 input path.
Validating the export pipeline on a real editor project (with its own
zoom regions, wallpaper, annotations, and webcam state) required
opening the editor by hand and clicking through the GUI.
This adds three new environment variables that are picked up by the
existing smoke-export query string plumbing:
- RECORDLY_SMOKE_EXPORT_PROJECT — path to a .recordly project file;
when set, the editor opens it via openProjectFileAtPath and applies
the saved state before the auto-export fires.
- RECORDLY_SMOKE_EXPORT_QUALITY — overrides the hard-coded "good"
quality used by the auto-export trigger; accepts medium / good /
high / source.
- RECORDLY_SMOKE_EXPORT_FPS — overrides the frame rate; accepts
24 / 30 / 60.
No behavior change for existing RECORDLY_SMOKE_EXPORT_INPUT runs;
the new inputs are strictly additive and optional. The startup log
line prefers the project path over the raw-input path when both are
populated.
Long recordings (35-minute screencaps were the motivating case) fail at
the 99% "Finalizing" step with a RangeError once the muxed MP4 would
exceed V8's ~2 GiB per-ArrayBuffer limit. Both export paths accumulate
the whole file in renderer memory and round-trip it through IPC, so no
output size past that point can complete:
- Legacy: src/lib/exporter/muxer.ts uses mediabunny's BufferTarget,
which holds the entire MP4 in a single ArrayBuffer. finalize() → Blob
→ blob.arrayBuffer() → ipcRenderer.invoke('write-exported-video-to-
path', arrayBuffer, path) — every step wants a ≥2 GiB contiguous
allocation.
- Lightning: native-video-export-finish did fs.readFile(finalizedPath)
and shipped the bytes back to the renderer, which re-serialized them
again. Same ceiling.
This change moves the finished MP4 across the renderer↔main boundary
via a temp file instead of an ArrayBuffer:
- New electron/ipc/export/exportStream.ts manages streaming temp files
via fh.write(buf, 0, len, position) so out-of-order writes (moov box
rewrites, etc.) stay safe. Each session lives in a 0700 mkdtemp()
directory opened with O_CREAT | O_EXCL so a hostile local user on a
shared tempdir cannot pre-plant a symlink at the predicted path.
- New renderer-facing IPCs: export-stream-open/write/close,
finalize-exported-video (renames temp to final path, copy+unlink
fallback on EXDEV/EPERM/ENOTEMPTY with console.warn on leaked bytes),
mux-exported-video-audio-from-path (FFmpeg audio fallback that takes
a path instead of an ArrayBuffer), and discard-exported-temp. Every
handler validates the caller-supplied path against an owned-export-
paths registry before touching disk, so a compromised renderer cannot
route arbitrary filesystem paths into main-process deletes/moves.
- The muxer now picks mediabunny's StreamTarget automatically when the
Electron bridge is available (BufferTarget stays for tests and any
non-Electron callers). finalize() returns { mode, tempFilePath,
bytesWritten } or { mode, blob } so the exporter can branch.
- Exporters forward tempFilePath through ExportResult. Lightning's
finish returns the ffmpeg temp path directly; the FFmpeg audio
fallback forks on the muxer result type. modernVideoExporter's
Lightning success branch now accepts tempFilePath (previously it
checked blob only, which regressed every native export).
- VideoEditor.tsx dispatches on tempFilePath: finalize via the new IPC,
keep the temp in place when the save dialog is canceled so "Save
Again" still works without re-rendering, keep the pending-save entry
alive on non-canceled save failures, and discard the temp on unmount
or explicit clear. GIF and smoke-test code paths still use the
legacy Blob path unchanged.
- app.on('before-quit') also reaps any open streaming sessions via
cleanupAllExportStreams().
Chunk size is 16 MiB — well under Electron/Mojo IPC message limits
while keeping total writes low (~160 for a 2.5 GB export).
Tested locally: exported a 35:13 source (~2.7 GiB H.264 input) at
Original 1920×1080 + Balanced. Previously failed on finalize with a
RangeError; with this patch the Legacy pipeline produced a valid 3.7
GiB MP4 whose ffmpeg -i duration/streams match the source.
Addresses #194.
