Summary

Fixes an issue where exported videos containing companion or sidecar audio tracks could end up with missing audio, truncated timelines, or stalled exports.

Changes

  • Audio Routing: Prevent fallback to offline audio rendering if audio packets have already been committed to the muxer (hasCommittedAudio), avoiding corrupted muxer state.
  • Duration Preservation: Respect video media duration instead of inflating total timeline length from longer companion audio buffers.
  • WebCodecs Error Handling: Allow non-fatal encoder/decoder flush errors to log cleanly without masking unhandled pipeline errors.
  • Documentation: Added JSDoc comments to touched export pipeline methods.

Testing

  • Verified with unit tests in src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.test.ts (16/16 passed).
  • Verified full exporter test suite (226 tests passed across 27 test files).
  • Formatted and linted cleanly with Biome.

Walkthrough

The export pipeline detects WAV paths and uses bulk decoding for WAV sources. Trim-only transcoding reports whether it wrote audio. Export routing selects offline rendering for WAV playback paths or when trim-only processing writes no audio. The muxer tracks committed audio, and offline rendering checks committed audio and encode errors.

Changes

WAV audio export handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
WAV detection and decoding
src/lib/exporter/audioProcessorShared.ts, src/lib/exporter/audioMediaProcessor.ts, src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.test.ts
Adds WAV path detection. WAV URLs use bulk decoding. Streaming decode checks supported configurations and handles flush failures without propagating them. Media duration returns zero when document is undefined. Tests cover WAV detection and decode selection.
Transcode outcome reporting
src/lib/exporter/audioTranscodeProcessor.ts
Trim-only and streaming transcode methods return whether audio was written. Decoder and encoder flush failures are logged as non-fatal warnings.
Export routing and fallback
src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.ts, src/lib/exporter/muxer.ts, src/lib/exporter/offlineAudioProcessor.ts, src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.test.ts
WAV playback paths select offline rendering. Failed or empty trim-only processing falls back when audio has not been committed. The muxer tracks committed audio, and offline rendering rejects when audio is already committed. Tests cover routing and fallback behavior.
Offline render and encode handling
src/lib/exporter/offlineAudioProcessor.ts, src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.test.ts
Offline rendering reuses media duration and tracks submitted frames. Encoder flushing is conditional, and encode errors are checked after pending muxing completes. Tests cover duration selection.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2d57d

The exporter now treats audio flush failures as non-fatal warnings. If a flush fails without reporting an error by another route, an export can finish with incomplete audio and still be reported as successful. Two earlier concerns remain open: audio extending past the video timeline, and an encoder flush error being ignored after the first packet is written. Resolve these before merging.

Do not accept an incomplete encoder flush.

If AudioEncoder reports a “Flushing error” after writing its first packet, this condition suppresses the encode error and completes the export. The first packet does not prove that the flush emitted the remaining output. Propagate the error instead of treating wroteFirstChunk as proof of completion. (w3.org)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the video duration when it is available.

If a companion buffer outlasts a video with a positive mediaDuration, Math.max extends the source timeline to the companion length. With no clip timeline, the export then renders audio after the video ends. Use the companion duration only when mediaDuration is unavailable.

Proposed change
-			sourceDurationSec = Math.max(
-				mediaDuration > 0 ? mediaDuration : 0,
-				primaryBuffer?.duration ?? 0,
-			);
+			sourceDurationSec =
+				mediaDuration > 0 ? mediaDuration : (primaryBuffer?.duration ?? 0);

Update the sourceDurationSec assignment so a positive mediaDuration remains the

Do not treat a rejected flush as successful audio completion. If a flush rejects without setting a callback error, these catches suppress the only failure signal. Earlier muxed packets can make the transcode report success, or let offline rendering finish, with incomplete audio.
