Background

Users need a simple way to turn the current video frame at the playhead into a still image clip without changing the source video.

Changes

  • Add a freeze frame action for selected or context-clicked video clips.
  • Enable the snowflake toolbar button when one selected video contains the playhead.
  • Add a video clip context menu item for Freeze frame.
  • Extract the displayed source frame as a native-resolution PNG and save it as a reusable image asset.
  • Insert the generated image as a three-second clip on the nearest available video track above the source, grouped with media creation as one undoable command.

Testing

Patch adds apps/web/src/lib/timeline/__tests__/freeze-frame.test.ts covering source-time mapping, target-track selection, and generated asset undo behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Freeze Frame controls to the timeline toolbar and video clip context menu.
    • Captures the current video frame and inserts it as a three-second image clip on an available track above the source video.
    • Supports trimmed, reversed, and speed-adjusted video.
    • Freeze Frame edits can be undone as a single action.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved timeline source-time calculations, including reverse playback and track placement around hidden tracks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor adds freeze-frame capture for selected video elements. It extracts the displayed frame as a PNG, saves it as an image asset, and inserts a three-second image clip above the source track with undo support.

Changes

Freeze-frame feature

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timing and track placement
apps/web/src/lib/timeline/element-utils.ts, apps/web/src/services/renderer/nodes/visual-node.ts, apps/web/src/lib/timeline/__tests__/freeze-frame.test.ts
Shared utilities calculate visual source time and find a non-overlapping visible video track above the source. The renderer uses the shared timing logic. Tests cover trim, playback rate, reverse playback, hidden tracks, and track placement.
Video frame extraction
apps/web/src/lib/media/processing.ts
extractVideoFrame decodes a frame, encodes it as a PNG at display resolution, and returns its dimensions.
Asset persistence and undo
apps/web/src/lib/commands/media/add-media-asset.ts, apps/web/src/lib/timeline/__tests__/freeze-frame.test.ts
Media asset commands serialize storage operations and remove only the generated asset during undo. Tests verify asset preservation and deletion.
Freeze-frame action
apps/web/src/hooks/actions/use-editor-actions.ts, apps/web/src/lib/media/processing.ts, apps/web/src/lib/timeline/element-utils.ts, docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-28-freeze-frame-design.md, docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-28-freeze-frame.md
The action validates the selected video and playhead, captures and saves the frame, inserts an image element, and rolls back partial work on failure. The design and plan documents describe the action flow and verification steps.
Action contract and editor entry points
apps/web/src/lib/actions/definitions.ts, apps/web/src/lib/actions/types.ts, apps/web/src/components/editor/panels/timeline/timeline-toolbar.tsx, apps/web/src/components/editor/panels/timeline/timeline-element.tsx
The action registry and types define freeze-frame. The toolbar enables it for an eligible selection, and video context menus dispatch it with track and element IDs. ToolbarButton forwards its disabled state.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 94670

Freeze-frame now creates and persists a new image asset while updating the timeline; partial failures or interrupted undo can leave orphaned frame data or timeline and storage state out of sync, and repeated captures may retain decoder resources. Merge should wait for explicit owner acceptance or follow-up addressing lifecycle cleanup and resource disposal.

🌐 Web query:

For Mediabunny version 1.29.1, verify that Input.dispose() closes connected decoder and source resources after VideoSampleSink.getSample().

💡 Result:

Yes, calling Input.dispose in Mediabunny (including version 1.29.1) explicitly closes connected decoder and source resources [1][2][3]. According to the official Mediabunny documentation, when an Input instance is disposed: - Ongoing read operations are canceled [1][3]. - All future read operations will fail [1][3]. - Any open decoders are closed [1][3]. - All ongoing media sink operations are canceled [1][3]. Because VideoSampleSink.getSample operations are tied to the underlying Input resource, these operations are included in the cleanup process [1][3]. The library is designed such that disposing of the Input effectively shuts down the entire pipeline associated with it, ensuring that resources like decoders and the data source are properly freed [1][3]. Disallowed or canceled operations following the disposal of an Input will throw an InputDisposedError [1][3].

Dispose the Mediabunny input after extraction.

extractVideoFrame creates an Input, but no path calls input.dispose(). Repeated captures can retain decoder and source resources until garbage collection. Wrap the extraction flow in an outer try/finally and call input.dispose() after closing any returned frame.
