Summary

Cropping in the clip Edit dialog was limited to whole-percent steps and previewed in a small fixed-size box, so precise crops were impossible and the overlay did not sit on the pixels it claimed to crop.

  • Pixel-resolution crop values. The crop draft is kept unrounded, and the numeric fields step at one source pixel (the step is derived from the actual frame size instead of a hard-coded whole percent). Typing writes the exact typed number. Opening the dialog and pressing Apply is now lossless — previously the values were quantized on open, so a no-op open/Apply could shift an existing crop.
  • Fields display at two decimal places. Drags used to leave eight digits of float noise in the fields; the stored value stays exact, only the display rounds — at two decimals the display can never be visibly off from the stored value on any realistic source size. The width-by-height summary under the fields uses the same formatting.
  • Larger, aspect-true preview. The preview box grows to a fixed height cap and takes its width from the video's own aspect ratio. This matters beyond size: the crop rectangle and every drag are measured against the box element, while the video inside letterboxes via object-fit: contain — so a box with any other aspect ratio makes the overlay drift off the actual video pixels. The old fixed box was 16:9, which misaligned the overlay on every non-16:9 source; portrait and 21:9 sources now fill the frame edge to edge.

The first commit on this branch is the STT spinner-phase fix (submitted separately as #522); this change touches neighbouring code in Modals.tsx and is based on it to keep both diffs clean. Only the second commit is new here — if the other PR lands first I will rebase this to a single commit; if this should be fully standalone instead, happy to rework it.

Type of change

  • Feature

Release impact

  • Minor

Desktop impact

  • Not platform-specific

Screenshots / video

Text description in place of screenshots: with a portrait window recording (784x1082), the preview frame is itself portrait and the video fills it completely — the crop overlay's edges coincide with the video's edges. With a 16:10 screen recording (2560x1600) the frame matches 16:10 with no pillar bars. After dragging a crop handle, the numeric fields and the summary read like "25.81" / "74.19" instead of a full float tail.

Testing

  • npx vitest run over cropDraft plus the transcription suites at this branch's head: 5 files, 24 passed. The cropDraft tests assert the pixel step (one source pixel, with a fine fallback when the frame size is unknown), the aspect-ratio preview box with its 16:9 metadata fallback, unrounded draft storage, and two-decimal display that never touches the stored value.
  • npx tsc --noEmit and npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit at this branch's head: clean.

Manual verification on Windows 11, on a build whose editor-dialog code is byte-identical to this branch: crop dialog opened on a portrait (784x1082) window recording and a 16:10 (2560x1600) screen recording — the preview frame follows the source aspect in both, video edge-to-edge; real handle drags leave two-decimal values in all four fields and the summary. (That typed values are stored exactly as typed is covered by the unit tests rather than the manual pass.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Transcription status now clearly distinguishes speech-model startup, model downloading, and transcription progress.
    • Progress details are shown for model downloads when available.
    • Transcription busy states now reflect only media included in the timeline.
    • Crop editing previews adapt to video aspect ratio and preserve precise crop values.
    • Added localized speech-model startup messaging across supported languages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Transcribe actions remain available when unrelated, off-timeline media is processing.
    • Crop dimensions and settings now reset correctly between clips.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds model-loading transcription states, timeline-scoped busy labels, and download progress propagation. It also improves crop precision, input steps, and aspect-ratio-aware previews, removes the source transcript flow, and updates localization and tests.

Changes

Transcription status flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Status pipeline and busy-view selection
src/lib/ai-edition/transcription/*, src/lib/ai-edition/store/transcriptionStore.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/document/transcribe.ts, src/lib/captioning/transcribe.ts
Transcription statuses now distinguish model loading, forward download byte counts, and select busy views relevant to timeline assets.
Phase label resolution
src/components/ai-edition/TranscriptionStatus.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/transcriptionBusyLabel.ts, src/components/ai-edition/*Status.test.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/transcriptionBusyLabel.test.ts
Labels now distinguish model initialization from model downloading and return no busy label for idle views.
Editor status display and localization
src/components/ai-edition/CaptionsPane.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/NewEditorShell.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/MediaStage.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/editor.json, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json, src/components/ai-edition/*gating.test.tsx
Editor panes and media details use timeline- and asset-specific status labels. Locale files add initializingModel and remove obsolete captions and editor entries.
Source transcript flow removal
src/components/ai-edition/Modals.tsx, src/lib/ai-edition/document/transcribe.ts
The source transcript modal and AXCUT transcript DSL generation are removed.

Crop editing controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Crop precision and preview behavior
src/components/ai-edition/cropDraft.ts, src/components/ai-edition/Modals.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/cropDraft.test.ts
Crop drafts retain fractional coordinates, fields use source-pixel steps, display values are rounded only for presentation, and previews follow video aspect ratios with a 16:9 fallback.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c99ea

This PR makes crop edits pixel-accurate and aspect-correct while extending transcription progress states without changing clip ownership or persistence boundaries. Automated tests and type checks are clean, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

- Around line 108-110: Update the busy-view selection in CaptionsPane to filter
transcription statuses using transcriptRelevantAssetIds(document) before calling
firstBusyView, while preserving the existing empty-timeline fallback and
isTranscribing behavior. Add a regression test covering an off-timeline
transcription request when no timeline asset has a transcript, ensuring the
button does not show the unrelated busy label or remain enabled.

In `@src/components/ai-edition/Modals.tsx`:
- Around line 654-660: Update the numeric input in the crop-value editing flow
to maintain a string buffer while focused, preserving unrounded text such as a
trailing decimal during typing; format the value only on blur. Ensure native
stepper changes operate from the unrounded numeric state and retain the existing
pixel-based step behavior.
- Line 729: Reset frameSizePx and videoAspectRatio whenever the selected clip
changes, before metadata-dependent crop interactions can occur. Update the
relevant clip-change effect or handler near the frameSizePx state and preserve
the metadata effect’s initialization for the new video.

All three points addressed:

  • c352313 keeps the crop fields' raw text while they are focused (an edit buffer seeded from the unrounded stored value), so decimals type cleanly and the native steppers act on the exact state; two-decimal formatting happens on blur. Typing an empty or unparsable intermediate keeps the last stored value.
  • The same commit resets the cached frame size and aspect ratio whenever the clip changes, so an immediate preset or typed edit can no longer quantize against the previous clip's metadata; the loaded-metadata handler refills them exactly as on first open.
  • The timeline-scoped busy label fix rode in as 1054858, cherry-picked from the sibling STT PR this branch is based on.
