Gate machine-dependent absolute timing limits.
the_follow_cost_is_bounded runs in ordinary compositor CI. Scheduler contention can raise the measured late or camera average above 1 ms, even with best-of-7 sampling. Keep the relative late versus early assertion as the required complexity check, but run the absolute limits only when an opt-in benchmark variable is set.

Allow a blocked click impact to be cleared.
If clickImpact is enabled and the user removes the rotation or hides the cursor, the prerequisite update preserves clickImpact while blocker becomes non-null. The controlled checkbox is then disabled, so the user cannot clear the stored effect.
Keep the checkbox enabled when it is checked:

+ const disabled = blocker !== null && !checked;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

What exists today
The 3D tilt is not to build, it already runs.
regions.rs:615 rotated_quad_corners_pxprojects thescreen's four corners and returns a
TiltedQuad; three shader modes consume it: 8 the screen,12 its drop shadow, 13 the cursor sprite. The moment the rotation is identity, the screen
falls back to the flat path (mode 0), the only one carrying motion blur.
Angles are frozen into three presets (
iso,left,right) chosen so that no edge comes within2° of an image axis — a vertical edge crossing text reads as an
overflow: hiddenand wasreported three times as "the recording is truncated". The real margin is thin: 3.14° for
iso,3.06° for
left/right.frame_geometry.rscomputes a frame's geometry once for all three backends. Bug #179(annotations under zoom) came back on Linux because each backend kept its own copy.
The tax on every PR
An effect always crosses the same chain, and that decides the split far more than the difficulty
of the effect itself.

design: mockups for device frames and 3D controls— no code, blocks PR 4.Decide the angle before writing the shader. A canvas: 4 frames (window chrome, browser, laptop,
phone) × 3 attitudes (flat,
iso,left), light and dark, with the mode-12 shadow underneath. Alsomock the zoom inspector and Composition panel with the PR 1–5 controls, to check we're not
stacking six sliders. Output: each frame's normalized insets, outer radius, shadow margin — exactly
what PR 4 consumes.
PR 1 — The tilt breathes with the cursor
feat(zoom): drive the 3D tilt from cursor motion— CPU only, 0 shaders, changes existingrendering.
Today the plane holds a frozen angle for the whole region. It must lean into the gesture: the
camera orbits a bit as the cursor moves fast, and returns to the preset attitude at rest. Active
on
iso,leftandright— existing projects' rendering changes, deliberately, and the PR saysso.
Law:
rot = préset·strength + budget(k · vitesse_lissée(t)) · smoothstep(0.5, 1, strength).Velocity, not position — in
autofocus mode the camera already centers on the cursor, so aposition-driven effect would vanish in the most-used mode; velocity works everywhere and settles
to zero at rest. The
smoothstepholds back motion while the tilt isn't installed yet: during theease-in, under 48% strength, the base itself is already inside the 2° band.
Angle budget (shared with PR 2b — parallax and the click impact add together, then the sum is
clamped): Z: 0 (narrowest axis, ~1° before breaking the 2° rule). X: ±1.9° (limit of
left/right, tightest on this axis). Y: ±3° (leftoverflows its box past that even atfrozen scale, 0.46% margin left at +3°). These numbers come from an f32 port of the code, not from
the crate's tests — the PR starts by reproducing them in a
regions.rstest before using them.Frozen scale. The contain scale is recomputed every frame from the instantaneous angle.
Uncorrected, 3° of motion makes the whole plane breathe 28–57 px at 1080p, dragging the shadow's
roundness and the cursor's clip box along in the same step. Fix:
rotated_quad_corners_px(w, h, rot_base, rot_dyn)— scale is computed from the base only (preset ×strength), the dynamic part only reprojects the corners. The slack the loop already leaves
(3.8–6%) absorbs the budget above. (Correction from rev 1: freezing on the region's max envelope
was wrong — during the ease-in it would shrink a still-flat plane by 18%.)
Anchor point. A
dynamic_tilt(t, track, cut, strength)helper inregions.rs, called once fromplan_frameafterg.cutis known — PR 2b needs to aim from the same point, so both effects sharethis single anchor. Derive
follow_samples(already spring-smoothed), never rawat(), andno per-frame integrator: a frame stays a pure function of
t(cursor.rs:53-62).Dropped from rev 1: the
dynamiczero-base preset. Starting from identity breaks the 2° ruleat any amplitude (a rotation on one or two axes leaves a pair of edges exactly on-axis), and every
move would flip the screen between mode 0 and mode 8, motion blur included. Parallax on the
existing presets covers the need.
Tests:
regions.rs— bounded amplitude, zero rotation with no track, nothing during the ease-in,2° rule over the whole budget sweep and not just the presets;
quad.scaleconstant when only thedynamic part moves; the rotation scene for
bench.rs --scene(the tilt has no measurement today —this feeds PR 2b and PR 5 too).
PR 2 — The cursor gets volume
feat(cursor): extrude the cursor along the screen normal— mode 13 extended ×3, off by default.The screen stays flat; the cursor carries the volume. It points along the axis of the targeted
plane, has thickness, casts a contact shadow.
Implementation: no mesh — an extrusion by repetition. ~10 samples of the alpha silhouette
offset along
e, side faces darkened by tap depth, front face untouched.e= the plane normalrotated by
zoom_rotation, projected, × thickness in px; at flat it's ~0, fallback to 2-3 pxtoward bottom-right. No new mode: mode 13 leaves
mbfree —mb.xy = e,mb.z = taps, andtaps ≤ 1reproduces today's render byte-for-byte. When volume is on, the cursor always goesthrough mode 13, with an identity quad when flat: at zero rotation,
TiltedQuadgives back exactlymode 7's rectangle. The contact shadow reuses mode 12 on a small quad under the tip — check: a
radius above 0.8× the half-side flips the
line_cross-inset quad, so cap at 0.8×.Plumbing:
frame_geometry.rs:1201 CursorPlanalready computes the cursor tilt; adde.Setting
cursor.volume0..1, 0 by default, inCursorVisualSettings→SceneCursor→ cursorpanel.
Traps: sprite alpha is straight (modes 7, 13), D2D text premultiplied (mode 11) — mixing them
up gives a washed-out cursor with no error. The Windows math dot+ring fallback (mode 4) stays
upright even on a tilted plane; macOS has no fallback at all — if the sprite fails to load, the
volume vanishes: say so, don't hide it. Some shipped cursor packs already paint a shadow in the
PNG; the extrusion would double it — documented rather than blocked, since volume defaults to 0.
PR 2b — The click presses into the footage (new)
feat(zoom): rock the tilted screen on each click— 0 shaders, depends on PR 1.The cursor comes down and taps the plane, and the plane gives: it pivots slightly toward the click
side, then eases back with a small rebound. A click bounce applied to the footage, timed to the
cursor's own bounce so it reads as one physical contact.
What it is: a rigid pivot about the centre, whose axis is chosen by the click position — the
clicked side recedes. The plane doesn't deform locally; the geometry can't draw that
(
project_cornerstarts from a z = 0 point, the warp is bilinear). The spec says so, so nobodyexpects a bump.
Law:
rot_dyn += A · tap((t − t_c) / 0.26) · [+dy, −dx, 0], withtap(e) = −sin(2πe)·(1−e)² / 0.610for0 ≤ e < 1, else 0.dx,dy: click offset from thevisible crop's centre (
g.cut), in [−1, 1], y downward. Sign checked againstproject_corner: +Y recedes the right edge, −X the bottom edge, andtapis −1 at contact —click on the right → the right edge recedes.
The timing.
bounce()stays untouched — it's the shipped cursor animation.tap()is a sistercurve sharing its contact instant (49 ms) and window (260 ms), but without
bounce()'s slope breakat 98.8 ms (×2.45) — invisible on a 30 px sprite, harsh on a whole plane. It settles back to zero
with zero slope. Softer rebound (0.16 vs 0.67): a screen weighs more than a pointer.
Gates: plane already tilted (only on a region with a preset, after the ease-in, same
smoothstepas PR 1 — never a mode 0 ↔ mode 8 flip, so no extra motion-blur loss beyond whatalready exists); cursor visible (multiply by
cursorShow, auto-hide opacity, the region'shideCursor, "pointer inside the crop" — these gates live only inplan_cursortoday, extractthem into a shared helper); preview = export (preview loads the track even with cursor hidden,
export doesn't — the explicit
cursorShowgate closes that gap for this effect); cuts (ignoreclicks outside the active clip's source window — both paths load the whole file, so an
uncut-then-cut click would bleed 260 ms into kept frames, exactly what
under_trimprevents forzooms); speed (weight
clamp(2 − speed_at(t), 0, 1)— at 100× a frame covers 3.3 s of source, thecurve would sample once, at random, as a one-frame jolt); privacy masks (dynamic offset held at
zero while a blur/mosaic annotation is visible, until the separate fix lands — see "found along the
way").
Details: aim frozen at the click (
at(t_c)on the raw track, notat(t), or a drag wouldwobble the axis mid-impact); double click (sum the window's clicks then clamp to [−1, 1] —
bounce()keeps only the last and jumps 0.21 (0.52 at default) — invisible on the cursor, a jolt onthe plane; at 33 ms apart the raw sum reaches 1.81); amplitude a constant
Acalibrated beside thepresets in PR 1's budget, not the
clickBouncesetting (that's the cursor's, raw on [0,5] withdefault 2.5, would make the plane 2.5× too strong); no click (no sidecar, Linux outside the
inputgroup) → exact identity, via the same
Optionas the rest of the cursor path.Control: "Click impact" checkbox in the zoom inspector, under the 3D selector, disabled with its
reason when the preset is "none". Per-region setting like the preset it animates:
ZoomRegion.clickImpact?: true, omitted when false. Off by default.Later: long-press — the plane stays pressed during a drag. Windows/macOS sidecars do record
release (
mouseup), butCursorTrack::loaddiscards it (cursor.rs:130-132), Linux never recordsit, and a tap shorter than the sampling interval (33 ms) is lost. A v2, with a fallback duration for
a press without a release.
Tests:
tapvalues inregions.rs(trough −1 at 49.5 ms, rebound +0.16 at 165 ms, zero andflat slope at 260 ms), bounded sum on double click, every gate that cancels the effect, the sign
(right click → right edge z decreases), frozen scale during the impact, 2° rule over the sweep.
PR 3a — A programme time in the scene
feat(compositor): expose programme time to the frame geometry— plumbing, prerequisite of 3b.The compositor has no continuous clock at all. It knows the active clip's source time
(
live.rs:550sets the decoder's pts,timeline_walk.rs:327the target source time) and a counterthat, live, is just a tick (
self.idx). An animated background wired to that jumps at every cut anddoesn't replay the same frame after a scrub.
set_programme_time(Option<f32>)on all three compositors, carried toFrameGeometry. Export:frames / out_fps, already passed tocompose_frame. Live: the programme playhead, already knownto the renderer and sent over the napi. Test: compose the same programme instant via linear
playback and via seek, check the parameter matches.
PR 3b — Animated backgrounds
feat(background): animate the gradient wallpapers— mode 5 extended ×3, no new mode.No second catalogue: keep the wallpaper picker, add "Animate" + a motion choice on existing
gradients. Three motions: drift — the gradient axis breathes slowly, ±15° over 20 s; aurora
— two or three gaussian blobs in the stops' colors, over slow noise; waves — soft sine bands
perpendicular to the axis.
The lazy part: mode 5 only reads
color,src.xyz,fx.xy. Extend the existing branch:fx.z= programme time,fx.w= motion, 0 reproduces today's gradient byte-for-byte. No newmode, no new binding.
Constraints: long period (8-20 s), low contrast — the background never wins attention. The
real cost is bitrate, not ms/frame: a moving background removes static regions, so H.264 bitrate
rises at equal quality — measure file size before/after, not just render time.
Tests: hash goldens at three fixed programme times, per backend.

PR 4a — A frame around the recording
feat(frames): draw a window chrome around the screen plane— 1 mode ×3, project setting.Prove the layer with one frame: window chrome (title bar, three dots, hairline). SDF-drawn:
sharp at any resolution, follows light/dark, no asset. Project setting, like the wallpaper.
Geometry: the screen quad dilated by the frame's margins, computed in
frame_geometry.rsfromthe same
TiltedQuad— tilts with the screen with no extra trig, zooms with the box since #179.Traps: the shadow changes owner — mode 12 must carry the frame's quad, or the shadow appears
under the title bar; padding —
padding_scaleand the screen box must account for the frame, or itoverflows the canvas at small padding; the frame's outer radius replaces the screen's — the
Roundness slider doesn't duplicate.
PR 4b — The frame catalogue
feat(frames): add the frame catalogue and its picker— reuses mode 13, drawing.Browser, laptop, phone, from PR 0's mockups. Hand-drawn SVGs rasterized on load, then dropped into
the quad — mode 13 already knows how to warp an RGBA image into four arbitrary corners.
Legal: no rendering of a real device — generic shapes we drew, MIT like the rest.
To decide: the phone frame is portrait — it forces an output ratio different from the export's.
Either it ships separately, or it arrives with the ratio logic that goes with it.
PR 5a — Depth comes out of the geometry
refactor(compositor): carry the tilted plane's depth gradient to mode 8— byte-identical output.Depth doesn't exist anywhere today:
project_cornercomputespzthen throws it away(
regions.rs:548-576). This is the real work of the depth-of-field, and it's on the CPU side.Closed form:
z = (r.x − 0.5)·gx + (r.y − 0.5)·gy,gx = plane_px.x · Kx,gy = plane_px.y · Ky— z is linear in the coordinates mode 8's warp already recovers; twomultiply-adds per pixel, no per-pixel trig;
Kx/Kyfall out of sines/cosines the CPU alreadycomputes.
The real numbers: on
iso, 16:9 — the near corner is drawn 1.48× larger than the farcorner (
left/right: 1.39×). The spread is ±0.19 of the perspective distance at the corners, andthis ratio is independent of resolution and zoom — perspective derives from the plane's own
size, so the tuning is done once, in z/P units. At flat, the effect disappears structurally — mode
8 isn't drawn at all.
What:
TiltedQuadalso returns(Kx, Ky). The three mode-8 call sites fillmb = [gx, gy, z_focus, k], a slot this mode never reads, withk = 0. Shaders still ignore it —output identical to the byte.
Tests: the sign — for
iso, z(bottom-left) < z(top-right), the far corner. A flipped sign wouldblur the near corner and the 2° rule wouldn't see it.

PR 5b — Depth of field on the tilted plane
feat(effects): defocus the tilted screen by its depth— all 3 backends in the same PR, paid onlywhile tilted.
On a strong angle, part of the content really is far from the camera, and it's not what's being
read — the zoom's focus point is. Defocusing by real depth is therefore legitimate, and the effect
self-disables at flat. Focal plane = zoom focus; blur grows with
|z − z_focus|.The obstacle: mode 10 blurs via
log2(radius)on a mip pyramid. Mode 8 can't imitate it —decoder textures have only one mip level on all three backends (D3D11VA NV12 pool, IOSurface
planes, three wgpu R8 planes), and cannot receive more.
The route: a half-resolution, 5-level pyramid, filled by a single draw of the existing
mode 0, only while rotation is non-identity. A 2:1 bilinear sample is a 2×2 average — this target
is level 1. The chain builds with the call each backend already has for
ann_copy:GenerateMips,blit.generate_mipmaps, and Linux's per-level loop fromgenerate_ann_mips,generalized. In mode 8: under 0.5 texel of blur,
sample_yuv(uv)as today, byte-for-byte. Beyondthat, fade to
SampleLevel(pyr, uv, log2(coc) − 1). Sharp text never round-trips throughRGBA. Sized against the decoder texture: mode 8's UV math doesn't change.
Estimated cost:
Extrapolated from rows C4 and C8, not measured. Preview costs ~6× the export on background blur;
Linux adds 4 passes; WARP collapses 17–23× on this kind of loop. If the CPU backend exceeds 10 ms,
one shared flag turns DoF off there.
Rejected: the 21-tap Vogel disk (
blur_webcam_bg) — 3.5-5 ms/frame at export, near the wholeencoder budget, collapses on WARP, and a step computed in quad px added to source-space UV, wrong
by the zoom factor; reusing
ann_copy— filled after the screen, by design, and indexed inoutput space; the Kawase targets — self-consuming and running before the screen exists; a few
offset taps — this repo already paid that lesson, it superimposes copies and reads as ghost text
(
shaders.hlsl:328-332); a full-resolution copy — 4× the VRAM, and sharp text round-trips throughRGBA for nothing.
Traps: silent effect on one backend — if Metal loses
mip_filter::linearor the wgpu view hasone level,
level(lod)returns level 0: sharp on macOS/Linux, blurred on Windows. Per-backendgolden:
iso, bottom-left blurrier than top-right, identical at zero rotation; wrong texture bound—
draw_videoonly binds t0/t1: t2 holds whatever the previous draw left there. Bind the pyramidexplicitly on every mode-8 draw (t2, texture(2), WGSL binding 4, never binding 1 which carries
luma); transparent pyramid — a default
LayerCBhascolor.a = 0, so mode 0 outputs alpha 0.Prepass with
color = [1,1,1,1], target cleared first; focus jump — if auto-follow loses thetrack, focus falls back to the static point and the sharp plane jumps. Keep the last resolved
focus; legibility ceiling — at level 2, a 4×4 block merges the stems of an "m" at 1080p. Ceiling to
validate on a text-heavy recording, exported at levels 1 and 2. The cursor (mode 13) stays sharp on
a blurred far corner — accepted in v1: in auto focus mode, focus already sits on the cursor.
Slot conflict: depth takes mode 8's
mb. Adding motion blur to the tilted plane later (8 floatsfor previous corners) won't fit the remaining 6 — that day, the constant buffer grows on all three
backends.
