Fixes #4.

An <Audio>, <Video> or <OffthreadVideo> at the root of a composition, or inside a <Sequence> without durationInFrames, registers durationInFrames: Infinity. The stitcher turns that into atrim=duration=Infinity, and FFmpeg fails after all the frames have been rendered.

This clamps each registered clip to compositionDuration - startAtFrame, in the same spot in all three components. Since it's a Math.min, an explicit endAt or a finite Sequence duration is unchanged. The registration key uses the clamped value too.

I added three tests to audio.test.tsx: root-level audio gets the composition duration, audio in <Sequence from={30}> gets the rest of the composition, and an explicit Sequence duration is kept. All 89 tests pass, and the first two new ones fail without the change.

I also checked it with a real render (Windows 11, Node 24). A 90-frame composition with <Sequence from={15}><Audio /></Sequence> fails on master with Unable to parse option value "Infinity" as duration. With this branch it registers 75 frames and stitches fine.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Audio from audio and video clips now ends at the composition boundary instead of extending beyond it.
    • Audio in a sequence without an explicit duration now uses the remaining composition duration; explicitly set sequence durations are preserved.

An <Audio>, <Video> or <OffthreadVideo> at the composition root, or inside a
<Sequence> without durationInFrames, registered durationInFrames: Infinity.
The stitcher turned that into atrim=duration=Infinity and FFmpeg failed after
every frame had been rendered.

Clamp each registered clip to compositionDuration - startAtFrame.

- Line 151: Update the durationInFrames bound in Audio so registered audio
duration also cannot exceed the enclosing Sequence’s remaining duration;
preserve the existing effective-duration and composition-bound limits. Apply the
same correction to the corresponding duration calculations in Video and
offthread-video, using the existing Sequence-duration mechanism.
- Line 151: In the Audio registration loop, skip the current clip when the
computed durationInFrames is zero or negative, placing the guard immediately
after its calculation and before registration. Keep the guard inside the loop so
other valid loop starts are still registered.

Walkthrough

Audio, Video, and OffthreadVideo now cap registered source durations at the remaining composition frames from each loop start. Tests check root audio and Sequence duration bounds.

Changes: Media duration bounds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bound registered source durations
packages/rendiv/src/components/Audio.tsx, packages/rendiv/src/components/Video.tsx, packages/rendiv/src/components/offthread-video.tsx, packages/rendiv/src/__tests__/audio.test.tsx
Registered audio-source durations and content-based keys use the smaller of the effective duration and the composition frames remaining from the loop start. Tests check root audio, a Sequence without an explicit duration, and a Sequence with an explicit duration.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 24 reports frame loss when stitching fails with a duration=Infinity error. This change caps registered source durations but does not implement keepFrames.

Suggested reviewers: thecodacus

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b6819

The change fixes renders with open-ended audio and video, but two edge cases remain. Media nested in a finite parent Sequence can keep playing after the parent ends. Premounted media starting at or beyond the composition end can register an invalid duration and fail the render. Resolve both before merging, or explicitly accept them as known limits.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #4 requires root-level &lt;Audio&gt; without endAt to use the parent composition duration instead of Infinity. Audio.tsx computes Math.min(effectiveDuration, compositionDuration - startFrame) and stores that value in both the source metadata and its key. The new root-level test verifies a 150-frame composition registers 150 frames. The Sequence tests verify remaining-duration bounding and preservation of an explicit finite Sequence duration. The implementation also covers the issue's related Video and OffthreadVideo registration paths. The issue lists the filter guard and mount-time lint as alternatives, so their absence does not fail the requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed files support issue #4. The Video and OffthreadVideo changes apply the same finite-duration registration fix to the related media components named in the current PR intent. The added Sequence tests cover the same open-ended duration defect. No unrelated change is shown in the pull-request diff.

Bound audio by the enclosing Sequence as well.

If an open-ended child Sequence starts at frame 30 inside a 60-frame parent Sequence, effectiveDuration is infinite and the current expression registers 120 frames in a 150-frame composition. The parent stops mounting the child at frame 60, but the registration persists. The stitcher uses the registered duration directly, so the audio can continue for 90 frames after the parent ends.

Carry the enclosing Sequence’s remaining duration into the bound. Apply the same correction to Video.tsx and offthread-video.tsx.

Skip non-positive media registrations.

A premounted Sequence can register a clip whose computed duration is zero or negative. Negative durations reach FFmpeg as invalid atrim:duration values and can fail the render. Keep the guard inside the loop so valid loop starts are still registered.
