model: a Project of bins and items (media, sequences, subclips, and items no interchange format carries), sequences of tracks with clips, transitions, markers and effects with keyframes. Cut down from FilmCraft's project model to what Final Cut Pro 7 XML, FCPXML and OpenTimelineIO describe; EffectCraft already uses that shape for its interchange. Three things stay the application's: effects (looked up through a Catalog the caller supplies), generators beyond the common ones (Generator::Other with an opaque payload), and per-object extension JSON (ext) that a format can carry unread. fx: the effect and parameter ids the formats name themselves, and Standard, a catalog of just those. build: FilmCraft's import Builder and shared helpers (filmcraft-interchange common.rs at 4bec22bd) on the model, with the effect registry replaced by the catalog, and the bounds every import ends with (Imported::bound, from lib.rs).
craft-timeline
Editorial timeline interchange: the parts every reader and writer of an edit shares, and the text formats that are documents of their own.
| Module | What |
|---|---|
time |
Exact media time. A Tick is 1/254 016 000 000 s, which divides evenly into every broadcast frame duration and every common audio sample duration; FrameRate is an exact rational; SMPTE timecode (drop and non-drop), feet+frames and typed-timecode parsing are displays of ticks. Every conversion is total: a zero or negative rate gives zero, not a division by zero, and results saturate at the storage limits. |
rate |
Frame-rate conventions of documents: timebase + ntsc, floating rates snapped to exact ones, the highest rate an importer accepts (MAX_RATE). |
report |
Report: what an import or export could not represent exactly, identical messages merged with a count. |
path |
Media references: file:// URLs (localhost, drive letters, UNC hosts, percent-encoding) to and from paths, and relative references joined to a document's folder. Lexical only. |
model |
A neutral timeline: a Project of bins and items (media with what a document says about it, sequences, subclips), sequences of video and audio Tracks holding TrackItems (speed, reverse, freeze frame, links, effects with keyframes, markers) and Transitions. Catalog is the application's effects, supplied by the caller. Every object has an ext slot for application JSON a format can carry unread. |
fx |
The effect and parameter ids the formats name themselves (motion, opacity, time remap, volume, pan, the common dissolves) and Standard, a catalog of just those. |
build |
Building a Project while reading a document (Builder, media deduplicated by key, track placement bounded at 256 tracks) and the bounds every import ends with (Imported::bound: implausible rates and start timecodes reset and reported). |
ale |
Avid Log Exchange: AleDoc (heading, columns, rows), parse, write, the standard heading and columns. |
edl |
CMX 3600 edit decision lists: parse to the list as written (events, their lines and timecode fields, M2, AUD, clip-name, source-file, effect-name and locator comments), write for events the caller built, channel codes, reel names, the frame-rate guess. |
| crate root | Format (EDL, xmeml, FCPXML, OTIO, AAF, OMF), detect_text, decode_text. |
No file I/O. EDL and ALE give the document as the format writes it. The formats that describe a
whole edit read into and write from model; mapping model onto an application's own project
stays in the application.
AAF and OMF are in craft-aaf.
Feature serde: Serialize / Deserialize for the time, report and Format types.
Specifications
Written from public descriptions only: SMPTE ST 12-1 (timecode); the CMX 3600 EDL format as
documented by its users (event lines, FCM, M2, and the common * FROM CLIP NAME:,
* SOURCE FILE:, * LOC: comment extensions); Avid's published description of ALE; RFC 8089
(file URIs).
Origin
Moved from FilmCraft's filmcraft-time (whole) and filmcraft-interchange (ale, the parser and
line layout of edl, the path and rate helpers of common, Report, Format).
Hostile input
Parsers are line-oriented over text the caller already holds, so memory is bounded by the input.
Timecode fields beyond i64 are refused; audio channels outside 1..=99 are refused and reported;
an FPS heading that is not a positive finite rate up to 100 000 is no rate. Tests cover each.
