Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic white balance and exposure correction for selected or specified clips, accessible from the Color menu, Lumetri Basic Correction, or the control channel.
    • Analyze the playhead frame or sample multiple frames, and review measurements and confidence without applying changes.
    • Apply corrections to Lumetri settings or supported RAW controls; Lumetri is used when RAW controls are unavailable. Each clip’s changes can be undone in one step.
    • Added a batch workflow example for measuring, selectively correcting, and exporting clips.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on correction options, results, and batch workflows.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds automatic white-balance and exposure analysis for video clips. It exposes the feature through the lumetri.auto command, a Lumetri panel button, and a Color menu entry. It also adds tests, documentation, and a batch import, correction, and export example.

Changes: Automatic color correction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pixel analysis and correction math
crates/render/src/auto_correct.rs, crates/render/src/effects.rs, crates/render/src/lib.rs
The render module samples pixels and estimates white balance and exposure. It reports measurements and confidence, maps results to Lumetri controls, and includes analysis tests. Lumetri now uses a shared white-balance gains helper.
Command execution and application
crates/engine/src/color_auto.rs, crates/engine/src/color_auto_tests.rs, crates/engine/src/commands.rs, crates/engine/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/lumetri.rs
The engine registers lumetri.auto, resolves clip targets and frame times, analyzes clips, and applies enabled corrections to Lumetri or eligible RAW controls. It handles per-clip errors and undo steps. The Lumetri panel button and Color menu entry expose the command. Tests cover results, options, targeting, fallback, keyframes, and errors.
Command documentation and batch workflow
README.md, docs/color.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/examples/auto_correct_batch.py
The documentation describes command options, results, UI entry points, and batch workflows. The Python example imports media, measures clips, applies corrections above a confidence threshold, and monitors export jobs.

Suggested reviewers: echelon

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7cac2

The batch example now stops before export when correction fails. No remaining issue identified here prevents merging after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 7cac2

Automatic correction uses the existing command permissions and remains scoped to the current project. No new security exposure was established. A bounded rollback issue remains: when undo history reaches capacity, undoing automatic correction can leave an effect that the operation added.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The new per-clip transaction is not preserved when undo history reaches capacity. For a clip without Lumetri, effect creation and parameter application commit separate snapshots. Session::edit evicts old entries at the history limit, while collapse_history identifies new snapshots solely by the original history length. With a full history, that length never increases, so collapse is skipped; one undo restores the newly added effect's defaults rather than the pre-command project. Near capacity, collapse can likewise retain the intermediate snapshot. This breaks the documented guarantee that one undo also removes the added effect.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new capability is available to callers already authorized to invoke engine commands. Its reachable mutation scope is clip effects in the active project sequence. The current source-settings implementation exposes no RAW controls, so requesting RAW correction follows the disclosed Lumetri fallback rather than mutating shared media development.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The existing control server binds to loopback, requires a configured 64-character hexadecimal token, and authenticates each request before enqueueing it. Engine execution resolves the command and checks enablement before running it. These controls are unchanged by this PR.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use a per-clip transaction that retains the pre-operation snapshot independently of bounded history length. The existing edit_group facility provides a repository-local mechanism that temporarily prevents history eviction and restores project, editor state, and redo history on failure.

…ds the control token

With linked selection, a selected clip's audio partner went to lumetri.auto and came back as an
error on every run. The timeline-selection fallback now keeps only video-track clips, like the
items branch, and errors as before when none is left. The batch example reads
FILMCRAFT_CONTROL_TOKEN and sends it with every request (as does the copy in docs/color.md), and
it reports per-clip correction errors and stops before exporting.

crates/engine/src/color_auto.rs:281-310
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Shared RAW roots get overwritten within one batch, and each clip still reports applied: true.

When into is "raw", raw_develop writes kelvin, tint, and exposure to the media root through clip.sourceSettings, not to the clip. Every clip that resolves to that root writes to the same media-level settings. Nothing in the batch path prevents a second write to a root that an earlier clip already developed. The batch result therefore reports each clip as applied, while only the last write to that root remains in effect.

The documented contract says each clip gets its own correction ("corrected", "items", and one undo step per clip). The result for an earlier clip reports the values it sent, but those values are no longer in effect. The docs define no fallback for shared roots. The fallback in docs/color.md applies only to media without RAW controls or builds without RAW development.

A conservative fix is to track roots written in the current batch. When a later clip resolves to a root already developed with different values, fall back to Lumetri for that clip and write a note, using the same fallback mechanism that raw_develop already uses.

Suggested fix
 fn auto(s: &mut Session, p: &Value) -> Result<Value> {
     let cfg = config(p)?;
     let clips = targets(s, p)?;
     let mut done = Vec::new();
     let mut errors = Vec::new();
+    let mut developed_roots: Vec<ItemId> = Vec::new();
     for clip in clips {
-        match correct_clip(s, clip, cfg) {
+        match correct_clip(s, clip, cfg, &mut developed_roots) {
             Ok(v) => done.push(v),

Inside correct_clip, before calling raw_develop, check whether root is already in developed_roots. If it is, set into = Into::Lumetri and add a note that explains the shared root. Otherwise, push root after a successful RAW write.

…le stops on errors

The RAW route writes the media's development, not the clip's, so a later clip of one batch on the
same media overwrote an earlier clip's correction while both reported it applied. Later clips on
media this batch already developed now get Lumetri with a note. The example in docs/color.md
checks the correction's errors and stops before exporting, like the batch script.

Both outside-diff findings from the latest review are fixed in 800b330:

  • Stop the copied example before export when correction fails (docs/color.md): the example keeps the lumetri.auto result and exits before file.exportMedia when errors is non-empty, like docs/examples/auto_correct_batch.py (checked with py_compile).
  • Shared RAW roots overwritten within one batch (color_auto.rs): the batch now tracks media whose RAW development it already set; a later clip on the same media gets Lumetri Basic Correction with a note instead of overwriting the first clip's development. docs/color.md says so. This path is only reachable in builds whose clip.sourceSettings offers development controls (this branch's offers none, so every RAW request already falls back to Lumetri), so no test can reach it here; the existing engine tests pass.

The outside-diff finding on docs/examples/auto_correct_batch.py:76-86 from the latest review is fixed in 470d99d: the script prints each measured["errors"] entry and exits before correcting or exporting when there are any (the correction-error check stays). Checked with py_compile and against a mock control server in three cases: a measurement error stops after the measuring call, a correction error stops after the correction, and a clean run exports.

Report failed sampled frames instead of dropping them.

When render_clip returns None for a sampled time, filter_map removes that sample. The command still reports a successful frame count, serializes the original requested times, and applies the correction when another sample succeeds. This result identifies an unmeasured time as measured and omits the failure.

Keep successful (time, image) pairs and report failed sample times in the result's error information. Preserve the existing error when all samples fail.

Check the export job result before the example exits.

The example starts file.exportMedia and polls jobs.list until the job is finished. It never reads the finished job's result. When the export fails, the script still exits with status 0.

Suggested fix
 job = run(call, "file.exportMedia", path=out, preset=preset, sequence=seq, wait=False)["job"]
 while any(j["id"] == job and not j.get("finished") for j in run(call, "jobs.list")):
     time.sleep(2)
+finished = [j for j in run(call, "jobs.list") if j["id"] == job]
+if finished and (finished[0].get("result") or {}).get("error"):
+    sys.exit(f"export failed: {finished[0]['result']['error']}")

…hout a video clip

A sampled frame that did not render was dropped silently while the result still listed every
requested time as measured. The result now names only the measured frames and times, lists the
others under failedTimes, and adds an errors entry for the clip. The command is enabled only when
the selection reaches a video clip, so an audio-only selection no longer shows it enabled. The
example in docs/color.md checks the finished export job for an error.

All three outside-diff findings from the latest review are fixed in 7cac26b:

  • Report failed sampled frames (color_auto.rs): each sample's render result is kept with its time. frames and times now name only the frames that were measured, the frames that did not render are listed under failedTimes, and errors gets an entry for the clip with those times. When every frame fails, the command still returns the same error. docs/color.md describes this. Test: frames_that_do_not_render_are_reported_not_measured.
  • Gate lumetri.auto on a reachable video target: has_targets now uses the same lookup as targets, so a selection (or named clips) with no video clip leaves the command disabled. Test: an_audio_only_selection_leaves_the_command_disabled. Explicitly naming an audio clip still says "not a video clip".
  • Check the export job result (docs/color.md): after polling, the example reads the finished job and exits non-zero on result.error. Checked with py_compile and against a mock control server whose export job fails.
