perf(audio): stretch speed regions through libavfilter atempo instead of WSOLA — fixes exports frozen at ~80% - #371
Conversation
… of WSOLA WSOLA is O(grain x search-radius) per rendered sample. On a long clip with speed regions (measured: 65.4M samples after speed-segment quantization) it runs for many minutes at 100% of one core, and the export appears frozen at ~80% progress — audio stretching is the pipeline's last big job. Users kill the export; nothing fails, it is just unreachably slow. Route stretch_pcm_to_length through an in-process abuffer -> atempo -> abuffersink graph instead. atempo is the same pitch-preserving time-stretch, but O(n) with ffmpeg's SIMD routines: the same input takes seconds. avfilter already ships in the app — fetch-ffmpeg.mjs vendors every av*.dll of the BtbN LGPL-shared build, and the addon sits beside those DLLs — so this only links a library that was already in the box. - build.rs: link avfilter (bindgen already allowlists avfilter_*/ via the existing "av.*" filter, and the Linux osff_ symbol-rename table derives from the soname list) - build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs: stage libavfilter.so.11 alongside the other renamed libs - wrappers: include libavfilter headers - audio.rs: avfilter_atempo_stretch() mounts the graph, feeds planar f32 chunks, drains, and pads/truncates to the exact target length; speeds outside atempo's [0.5, 100] window chain multiple stages (0.2 -> atempo=0.5,atempo=0.5,atempo=0.8). Any failure returns None and falls back to the existing WSOLA path unchanged. - sink negotiation may yield flt (interleaved) or fltp (planar); both are deinterleaved into PlanarPcm Verified with cargo test: a 10 s 440 Hz stereo sine at speed 1.25 returns exactly 8 s and measures 440 Hz +/- 2 Hz by zero crossings (pitch preserved — a plain resample would shift it).
Two hardening guards found while diagnosing the slow-export hang: - decode_clip_audio: a container whose audio track is truncated or corrupt at the end can keep av_read_frame from ever returning AVERROR_EOF, so decoder_eof never propagates and the demux loop spins at 100% CPU forever. Cap it with a 60 s time budget — time, not iterations, because av_read_frame can be slow on a corrupt stream and an iteration cap would either never trigger or cut healthy long clips short. - WsolaTimeStretcher::process: if find_best_delta keeps returning a delta that puts grain_pos back where it was, the buf_end break is never reached and the loop spins forever. Detect the stagnation (100 consecutive non-advancing grains) and force the exit — the fallback path after the previous commit's atempo change, so this only protects the unlikely case where WSOLA still runs.

- wrapper_macos.h: the appended avfilter include landed on the same line as the trailing swscale include (the file had no final newline), so the preprocessor never saw it — split them onto separate lines. macOS builds would have produced no avfilter bindings at all. - decode budget: scale with the requested window (x8, floor 60 s) instead of a flat 60 s, so slow storage / heavy codecs decoding a long window are not cut off into trailing silence. - atempo drain: only AVERROR_EOF / AVERROR_EAGAIN are benign; any other negative return is a real filter failure — return None so the WSOLA fallback runs instead of exporting partial audio padded with silence. The buffersrc flush return is checked for the same reason.

Revue ciblée sur les points bloquants uniquement — la direction de la PR me paraît bonne (le chemin WSOLA est réellement pathologique, et atempo est le bon outil), mais trois défauts produisent du silence audio ou une app non chargeable, tous sans remontée à l'UI.
audio.rs:1058— un span de moins de 1024 échantillons fait sortiratempoà vide ; leresizeconvertit ça en silence numérique retourné comme un succès, donc le fallback WSOLA est inatteignable. Reachable via n'importe quel écart entre deux speed regions.audio.rs:292-299— la sortie forcée fabrique un EOF au lieu d'échouer (clip muet dans un export « réussi »), le budget est dimensionné sur la fenêtre de trim alors que le travail dépend de la distance de seek, et il n'a pas de plafond : il s'auto-désactive sur les conteneurs à durée inconnue, soit exactement le cas visé.build.rs:72—avfilterentre dans la table d'import de l'addon, mais la sonde « déjà vendored » defetch-ffmpeg.mjset les trois gardes debefore-pack.cjsne le connaissent pas : un workspace tiède ou un build partiel livre un addon qui meurt àrequire().
Détail et scénarios de reproduction dans les commentaires inline.
Deux notes hors bloquants, pour la suite : atempo est appelé au-dessus du passthrough PASSTHROUGH_EPSILON de WSOLA, donc tout span 1× de plus de ~33 s @30 fps (~17 s @60 fps) est désormais resynthétisé là où c'était un copy_from_slice — remonter ce test au-dessus de la ligne 782 le règle. Et le « figé à ~80 % » est en partie un défaut de reporting : on_clip_end fait décodage + stretch en synchrone sur le thread de rendu sans jamais appeler progress().

Bloquant — un span court sort en silence numérique, et le fallback WSOLA n'est jamais atteint.
atempo a besoin d'une fenêtre complète avant d'émettre quoi que ce soit. af_atempo.c fixe window = sample_rate / 24 arrondi à la puissance de 2 supérieure (2048 @48 kHz), et frag[0].position[0] = -(window / 2), donc yae_load_frag attend 1024 échantillons avant de cesser de rendre EAGAIN. En dessous, nfrag reste à 0 et yae_flush sort immédiatement :
if (!atempo->nfrag) {
// there is nothing to flush:
return 0;
}Zéro frame de sortie. Ici stretched reste vide, plane.resize(target_samples, 0.0) remplit donc tout le span à zéro, et la fonction retourne Some(...) — stretch_pcm_to_length (ligne 782) renvoie ce silence sans jamais passer par WSOLA, alors que le doc de la fonction (lignes 849-850) promet un None sur défaillance.
C'est atteignable en pratique : regions.rs émet des spans jusqu'à MIN_SPEED_SEGMENT_SEC = 0.0001, donc un écart de 30 ms entre deux speed regions donne un slice de 1440 échantillons, avec abs_diff > 1 — le raccourci exact de la ligne 762 ne le rattrape pas. Idem pour toute speed region d'une frame (40 ms @25 fps = 1920 échantillons). La fenêtre de régression est bornée à entrée ∈ [2·hs, 1024) : en dessous de 2·hs les deux chemins étaient déjà muets. L'ancien WSOLA calait justement hs sur expected_output_samples / TARGET_GRAINS (ligne 490) pour ces spans-là et produisait du vrai son.
Un contrôle de plausibilité rendrait le fallback réel :
if stretched[0].len() < target_samples * 9 / 10 {
return None;

Bloquant — le budget transforme un décodage lent en export silencieux « réussi », et il s'auto-désactive sur le cas qu'il vise.
Deux défauts distincts sur ce bloc.
1. La sortie forcée fabrique un EOF au lieu d'échouer. track.decoder_eof = true sur toutes les pistes puis break : mix_aligned_tracks alloue ensuite target_samples de zéros et ne recopie que ce qui a été décodé. La fonction rend donc Ok(Some(pcm)) de la bonne longueur avec une queue muette, et aucun des trois appelants ne teste la longueur (pipeline_linux.rs:499, pipeline_macos.rs:1099, pipeline_windows.rs:1433). L'export se termine « avec succès » sur un clip silencieux, le seul signal étant un eprintln! qui ne nomme ni le clip ni le chemin.
Le fichier a déjà bail! (ligne 44) et les pipelines ont déjà leurs bras Err(...) => silence conservé : une vraie erreur atterrirait dans une dégradation connue et définie en un seul endroit, au lieu d'en créer une invisible.
2. Le budget est calé sur la mauvaise grandeur, et n'a pas de plafond. Le travail de la boucle dépend de la distance depuis le point de seek, pas de la longueur de la fenêtre demandée — et l'échec de av_seek_frame est ignoré silencieusement (ligne 273, pas de else), donc le démux repart de t=0. Un trim de 10 s à 40:00 dans un WebM sans Cues obtient 80 s de budget pour ~30 min de démux : le garde se déclenche loin avant la fenêtre, src_start tombe au-delà de decoded[channel].len(), et le clip sort intégralement muet. Le résultat dépend de la vitesse de la machine — correct sur un poste rapide, silencieux sur un poste lent.
Dans l'autre sens, .max(60) est un plancher sans plafond et f64 as u64 sature. Mesuré sur l'expression exacte :
source_end_sec |
budget |
|---|---|
| 10 | 80 s |
| 86 400 | 691 200 s (8 jours) |
INFINITY |
u64::MAX |
Or timeline_walk.rs:224 ne clampe source_end_sec que si screen_available_duration est connue, et electron/recording/webm-seek-index.ts:30 documente que les WebM MediaRecorder de cette app rapportent duration = Infinity sans index de seek. Le garde anti-boucle se désactive donc précisément sur la classe de conteneur pour laquelle il a été écrit, et rien ne logue qu'il a été neutralisé. (NaN est sans risque : .max(0.0) retombe sur le plancher de 60 s.)
Accessoirement : ce garde corrige un hang du démux, sans rapport avec le remplacement WSOLA → atempo. .harness/reins/openscreen-dev/agent.md demande un concern par PR.

Bloquant — avfilter devient une dépendance de chargement, mais ni le vendoring Windows ni les gardes de packaging ne le connaissent.
Cette ligne met avfilter-11.dll / libavfilter.so.11 dans la table d'import de compositor_view.node. Trois endroits, tous hors diff, n'ont pas suivi — je les signale ici faute de pouvoir commenter des fichiers non modifiés.
scripts/fetch-ffmpeg.mjs:412 — le court-circuit « déjà vendored » est une sonde d'existence (« un av*.dll quelconque est là »), pas une vérification d'ensemble :
.some((e) => e.isFile() && isSharedLib(e.name) && /^(lib)?av/i.test(e.name))build:win appelle npm run fetch:ffmpeg sans --force. Sur toute machine de dev ou workspace CI tiède où electron/native/bin/win32-x64/ contient déjà les cinq DLL d'avant cette PR et où crates/thirdparty/ffmpeg-n8.1.2-win64-lgpl-shared existe, fetchSharedDlls sort tôt et avfilter-11.dll n'est jamais copié. require() échoue alors avec « The specified module could not be found », tryLoadAddon l'avale, et l'app part avec une preview blanche et un compositeur inerte — le symptôme du build Store 1.9.0 que build-windows-compositor-addon.mjs documente. C'est la première fois que l'ensemble requis grandit depuis l'écriture de ce garde, donc le cas n'a jamais été exercé.
scripts/before-pack.cjs — les trois listes par librairie ignorent avfilter : :134 (Linux), :237 (Windows), :79 (macOS, /^libav(codec|format|util)\.\d+\.dylib$/ avec atLeast: 3). Le commentaire de la liste Linux explique qu'elle est écrite une-entrée-par-famille précisément pour qu'une librairie manquante ne se cache pas derrière un total — une régression déjà livrée une fois. Un build propre embarque bien la librairie (le FFMPEG_SONAMES de cette PR côté Linux, otool -L côté macOS) : c'est le garde qui a régressé. Un payload issu d'un build natif périmé ou partiel passe donc beforePack et installe un addon qui meurt dans ld.so / dyld à require() — pas une dégradation vers WSOLA, mais preview et export morts.
À corriger dans la foulée : le miroir doc technical-documentation/engineering/build-and-packaging.md:207 a besoin de la même entrée, et l'en-tête de scripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs:19 dit encore « the five ffmpeg sonames » pour une liste qui en compte six.

…ll six ffmpeg libs, guard --sdk-only - before-pack.cjs macOS: split the combined av* regex (atLeast: 4) into one requirement per library — avcodec/avformat/avutil/swresample/swscale/avfilter — matching the LINUX_REQUIRED style so duplicate versions of one library cannot satisfy the count while another is missing. - before-pack.cjs Windows: add swresample/swscale to the required DLL list (was: avcodec/avformat/avutil/avfilter). - build-and-packaging.md: document all six dylib families in the macOS guard table. - fetch-ffmpeg.mjs: create binDir before readdirSync in fetchSharedDlls, so the --sdk-only path no longer throws on a fresh checkout (binDir is normally created by the CLI branch before the shared-DLL fetch).
build.rs prefixes every av* function in ffi.rs, so the atempo path makes
the addon import osff_avfilter_graph_alloc, osff_av_buffersrc_add_frame
and friends. preBuild only staged lib{avformat,avcodec,avutil,swscale,
swresample}, so no libavfilter.so was renamed and no unversioned symlink
existed for -lavfilter: the build either failed to link or bound against
nixpkgs' unrenamed copy. installPhase's leak check does not catch that --
it only rejects names that are NOT osff_-prefixed -- so the derivation
succeeded and require() failed at runtime with "undefined symbol:
osff_avfilter_graph_alloc", leaving compositorViewService as a no-op and
preview plus every export dead on the whole NixOS package.
Add avfilter to the staged set, matching the six libraries
crates/compositor/build.rs links and scripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs
already ships. Both filters keep working unchanged: avfilter's exports are
av-prefixed (avfilter_*, av_buffersrc_*, av_buffersink_*), so the preBuild
awk and the installPhase leak check already cover them. Also corrects the
installPhase comment that counted five direct DT_NEEDED libraries.

export-pipeline.md and native-compositor.md still said WSOLA stretches each speed sub-segment. atempo is now the primary path and WSOLA is the fallback stretch_pcm_to_length takes when the filter graph cannot be built, configured or run, or when it drains under 90% of the target samples on a span shorter than atempo's analysis window. export-pipeline.md also claimed the stretch "is kicked off before the video loop so it overlaps the encode and does not add to the wall". It does not: decode and stretch run synchronously in walk_composited_timeline's on_clip_end callback, which fires once per clip after that clip's frames are encoded, on the same thread -- and progress() is driven only by encoded video frames, so nothing moves while the stretch runs. Describe the real shape, which is also why the O(n) atempo path matters. build-and-packaging.md named avcodec/avformat/avutil as the addon's ffmpeg dependencies. build.rs links six -- avcodec, avformat, avutil, swresample, swscale, avfilter -- and before-pack.cjs now requires each of them individually on all three platforms.

Correct the frame-progress timing description.
In crates/compositor/src/pipeline_linux.rs, progress(n + 1) advances for a composed frame even when readback_submit() produces no frame for enc.send_rgba(). The on_clip_end callback also runs before the later readback_take() drain. Therefore, the final clip frame can still be pending readback or encoding when stretching starts.
Describe progress as driven by composed timeline frames. State that encoding can lag by the readback ring and that the final drain occurs after the timeline walk.

Describe the actual sample-format contract.
avfilter_atempo_stretch configures abuffer as fltp/48 kHz/stereo, but creates abuffersink without a format constraint. The drain path accepts AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP and AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLT, then normalizes both to planar PCM. Replace “atempo preserves format” and “no conversion is involved” with this contract.

208, Update the speed-region description around avfilter_atempo_stretch to state
that abuffer is configured for fltp/48 kHz/stereo, while the unconstrained
abuffersink may produce either FLTP or FLT; document that the drain path accepts
both and normalizes them to planar PCM, replacing the claims that atempo
preserves format and performs no conversion.

The atempo swap is the right instinct and the factor-chaining is neatly done. Two things before this can merge, though, and one of them I need you to check because I couldn't build it.
I pushed two commits to your branch (8dc0483, 01e991c), since "allow edits from maintainers" is on.
The first is the one that worries me. nix/compositor-view.nix builds its symbols.map from a five-library glob, and build.rs prefixes every av* function — so your new code makes the addon import osff_avfilter_graph_alloc, osff_av_buffersrc_add_frame and friends, which that glob never defines. The build either fails on cannot find -lavfilter or links against nixpkgs' unrenamed copy and ships a .node with undefined symbols; the installPhase leak check only flags names without the osff_ prefix, so it passes either way. With nixpkgs' default -z now, require() then fails, compositorViewService logs "native addon not present; running as no-op", and preview plus every export are dead on the whole NixOS/AUR package. You updated scripts/build-linux-compositor-addon.mjs for exactly this; nix/ was missed.
I could not verify that fix — there's no nix on my machine, so it isn't even parse-checked. Please have someone run nix build before merging, and confirm two things: that nixpkgs' ffmpeg .lib output actually contains libavfilter.so.*, and that the case "$lib" in *.so.*.*) continue ;; esac filter still leaves exactly one libavfilter.so.<major>.
The second commit is documentation — export-pipeline.md, native-compositor.md and engineering/build-and-packaging.md still described the WSOLA world and the three-library ffmpeg set. Note export-pipeline.md:74 claimed the stretch "is kicked off before the video loop so it overlaps the encode", which isn't what the code does; that's the progress comment below.
Still stale and out of scope: .github/workflows/ci.yml:116 lists only five libraries in a prose comment (harmless — Homebrew's ffmpeg ships avfilter).
The rest, on lines outside the diff hunks:
crates/compositor/src/audio.rs:766 — I don't think atempo actually fixes the freeze — it routes around it, and every remaining fallback still hits it.
The cost is here: stretch_pcm_to_length feeds the entire region into stretcher.push(pcm), so self.buf holds all source samples, and then every grain does self.buf[channel] = self.buf[channel][drop..].to_vec() plus the same on self.mono — reallocating and copying the whole remaining buffer while it shrinks by only ha (~960-1920) samples per grain.
For the 65.4M-sample export you cite that's roughly N²/(2·ha) ≈ 1.1e12 f32 per channel, ~9TB of memcpy, which dominates find_best_delta by about 7x. Your diagnosis at :794 names the per-sample search cost, which is the smaller term.
A VecDeque or a read offset would fix it in a few lines — and it would also fix the WSOLA path that's still reached when avfilter is missing, when graph_config fails, and on the new 90% bail at :1078.
crates/compositor/src/pipeline_windows.rs:1436 — Progress is still driven only by encoded video frames, so "frozen at ~80%" comes back whenever this path is slow.
progress(frame_index + 1) fires from the video walk callback at :1427, while stretch_clip_pcm_by_speed runs synchronously here with no reporting at all. The bar stops at whatever fraction the clip's frames reached and sits there for the whole stretch.
atempo shortens that from minutes to seconds, which is a real improvement — but a long clip, a fallback to WSOLA, or any future audio stage reproduces the symptom exactly. Since the PR is named after that bug, reporting progress across the audio phase seems worth doing here rather than leaving it to the next report.

The whole region gets pushed into the buffersrc before a single frame is drained, so libavfilter queues a second full copy of the clip's PCM.
av_buffersrc_add_frame() is av_buffersrc_add_frame_flags(ctx, frame, 0) — without AV_BUFFERSRC_FLAG_PUSH nothing pulls the graph, so every frame lands in the source link's framequeue and stays there until the drain loop at :1020 starts.
For a 20-minute stereo speed region (65.4M samples) that's ~523MB in the FIFO plus ~16000 AVFrame headers, on top of the 523MB pcm slice stretch_clip_pcm_by_speed already copied and the ~523MB stretched accumulator — roughly 2GB peak inside the addon, on top of Electron. That's about double what the WSOLA path it replaces peaked at, so on an 8GB machine this can turn a slow export into an OOM.
Interleaving av_buffersink_get_frame inside the feed loop is the standard shape and fixes it.

The sink has no sample_fmts constraint, so the output format is whatever negotiation picks — and af_atempo is packed-only.
Its query_formats advertises {U8,S16,S32,FLT,DBL}, no planar. abuffer is pinned to fltp at :934, so avfilter_graph_config silently inserts an aresample and the sink gets packed FLT. That inverts the branches at :1041/:1049 — the FLTP branch is dead and the per-sample de-interleave at :1055 (two Vec::push per sample, ~130M pushes for a 65M-sample region) becomes the hot path, which contradicts the "aucune conversion" note at :864-866.
The sharper risk: nothing pins the choice. On an ffmpeg build where swap_sample_fmts scores S32 or DBL above FLT, the else branch at :1060 fires, avfilter_atempo_stretch returns None, and the export silently drops onto the multi-minute WSOLA path this PR exists to avoid. One av_opt_set_int_list(sink_ctx, "sample_fmts", …) removes the whole class.

The 90% threshold is undocumented and unnamed, and both sides of it fail quietly.
At or above it, plane.resize(target_samples, 0.0) at :1087 appends zeros — so up to 10% of a region can become digital silence butted straight against the next segment. The equal-power crossfade at :1197 only covers clip boundaries (plan.segments), never the per-segment concatenation at :1124-1129, so a 1-second 0.25x region that drains 92% ships ~80ms of dead air followed by a hard splice: an audible dropout and click at the seam.
Below it, you fall through to WSOLA with no log line, so a suddenly multi-minute export has nothing to explain it.
Worth a named constant either way, and probably a warning on both paths.

This stagnation guard can't fire in the case that actually costs time.
search_target advances by ha = hs*speed every iteration, so for every speed the editor can produce (MIN_PLAYBACK_SPEED is 0.1, giving ha >= 96) grain_pos strictly increases and stagnant never reaches 100 — i.e. it's inert on exactly the long slow-motion regions that take >10 minutes, which the comment at :615-619 says it exists to prevent.
Where it does fire — a degenerate segment where stretch_clip_pcm_by_speed's independent frame_count/duration math gives ha ≈ 0.02 — the break truncates emitted, stretch_pcm_to_length zero-fills the rest, and the user gets a silent region with nothing but an eprintln! from a native addon. Neither behaviour is covered by a test.

The only end-to-end atempo test is a single in-range stage at 1.25x, which is the case least likely to break.
SPEED_OPTIONS ships 0.25x and 0.5x (src/components/video-editor/types.ts:415) and MIN_PLAYBACK_SPEED is 0.1, so the presets users actually click all take the chaining loop and stack 2-4 atempo stages, each with its own priming loss. Untested: the chained output length, the 90% bail, the zero-pad, the WSOLA stagnation guard, and what format the sink negotiates.
atempo_factors_split_out_of_range_speeds covers the factor arithmetic, which is the safe part. A regression in any of the others ships as silence or a multi-minute export with green CI.

The new REQUIRED_SHARED_DLLS and the per-library alreadyVendored regex probe have no assertions, though scripts/fetch-ffmpeg.test.mjs and scripts/before-pack.test.mjs both already exist and already cover this class of invariant (the pin table, resolveSymbolCeiling).
A regex typo — ^${lib}-\d+\.dll$ against a libavfilter-11.dll spelling, say — reproduces the silent-skip bug the new comment at :411-416 says it prevents, and CI stays green. It only surfaces as a dyld/ld.so error in a shipped installer, which is the worst place to find it.

Two small things about the chaining bounds.
The > 100.0 branch can't be reached: MAX_PLAYBACK_SPEED is 100 (src/components/video-editor/types.ts:398) and clampPlaybackSpeed enforces it, yet atempo_factors_split_out_of_range_speeds asserts the 250x and 4000x cases — testing a path no project can produce.
The low end has the opposite problem: no iteration cap. speed = source_samples/target_samples, so a corrupt scene with a 1-sample source against a 1-hour target gives ~5.8e-9 and about 28 stacked atempo stages, each with its own analysis window and priming loss; a subnormal would build over a thousand. The speed <= 0.0 / non-finite guard at :875 catches NaN and 0 but not this.

Problem
Exports with speed regions appear to freeze at ~80% progress and never finish. Nothing fails — the process just spins at 100% of one core, effectively forever, on long clips.
Root cause
stretch_pcm_to_lengthuses WSOLA, which isO(grain x search_radius)per rendered sample. On a 22-minute clip with a 1.25x speed region, speed-segment quantization produces ~65.4M samples of audio to stretch; the WSOLA pass measured >10 minutes without completing. Audio stretching is the pipeline's last big job, so the progress bar sits at ~80% while it runs, and users kill the export.Fix
Route
