fix(renderer): keep the full video length when audio ends early by elwizard33 · Pull Request #26 · thecodacus/rendiv

elwizard33 · 2026-11-02T21:22:32Z

Fixes #19.

This replaces -shortest with apad on the audio mix plus -t <frames / fps> on the output. The frame count comes from the frame-NNNNNN.<ext> files in framesDir. Audio still can't make the video longer, and now it can't make it shorter either. -t is only added when there's audio.

Other changes in the same file:

-ar 48000 for both AAC and Opus, so low-rate sources like 24 kHz TTS files get resampled.
If a clip's duration isn't finite, atrim only gets start=, and -t cuts it at the end of the video. This overlaps with fix(rendiv): bound open-ended Audio/Video durations by the composition #25, but it also covers anyone still on an older @rendiv/core that registers Infinity.
The single-source path now uses the same [a0] → [aout] labels as the multi-source path instead of slicing the string.

I tested it with a 150-frame (5 s) composition and a 2 s, 24 kHz clip. On master the output is 2.0 s of video and 2.0 s of 24 kHz audio. With this branch it's 5.0 s of video and 5.0 s of 48 kHz audio (checked with ffprobe; Windows 11, Node 24).

The renderer package doesn't have a test setup, so I haven't added a test. Happy to add one if you have a preferred approach.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Rendered video duration now matches the available frame count and frame rate.
- Audio clips with finite durations continue to be trimmed by duration; clips with non-finite durations are trimmed only at the start.
- Mixed audio is padded to match the video duration, and output is no longer cut short when the audio ends first.
- MP4 and WebM audio output now uses a 48 kHz sample rate.

-shortest cut the output at the end of the mixed audio, so a composition with a silent ending lost its last frames. Pad the mix with apad and bound the output with -t <frames / fps> instead. Also resample the audio to 48 kHz (low-rate sources such as 24 kHz TTS MP3s were passed through as is), and leave atrim open when a clip has no finite duration rather than emitting duration=Infinity.

Walkthrough

stitchFramesToVideo now derives output duration from the matching frame count. It pads audio, limits output to the frame-derived duration, and sets MP4 AAC and WebM Opus audio to 48 kHz.

Changes: Video stitching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Derive video duration from frames `packages/renderer/src/stitch-frames-to-video.ts`	The function counts matching frame files and uses the count divided by `fps` as the video duration.
Align audio output with video duration `packages/renderer/src/stitch-frames-to-video.ts`	Non-finite audio durations are trimmed only at the start. Audio filters pad the mix. FFmpeg limits output to the frame-derived duration instead of using `-shortest`, and sets the audio sample rate to 48 kHz.

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: thecodacus

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to da1bf

Unusually long renders can lose video frames, and stitching a frame directory with gaps can produce an output longer than its video. Correct the frame count before merging unless these limitations are explicitly accepted.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #19 requires the full frame composition to remain when audio ends early, while audio must not extend the video. The diff counts matching frame files, derives videoDurationSec from frameCount / fps, pads the mixed audio with apad, and applies -t only when audio exists. It replaces -shortest, which caused early truncation. The change also sets -ar 48000 for AAC and Opus, as required by the issue's low-rate audio case. Non-finite clip durations use start-only atrim, and the single-source path uses the same [a0] to [aout] labels as the multi-source path.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed code is limited to stitchFramesToVideo() behavior for frame-derived duration, audio padding and trimming, audio sample rate, and consistent filter labels. These changes directly support issue #19 and its reported repro. No unrelated product area or unrelated behavior is changed.

Count only the consecutive frames that FFmpeg reads.

frameCount counts every file that matches frame-\d{6}. FFmpeg reads the frame-%06d input from index 0 and stops at the first missing index. In a reused framesDir with frame-000000.png, frame-000001.png, and frame-000003.png, the count is 3 but FFmpeg reads 2 frames. With audio, -t is derived from the count, so the output can run longer than the rendered video. Widening \d{6} to \d+ does not fix this, because the gap still gets counted.

Suggested fix

- const frameFilePattern = new RegExp(`^frame-\\d{6}\\.${ext}$`); - const frameCount = fs.readdirSync(framesDir).filter((f) => frameFilePattern.test(f)).length; + const frameFilePattern = new RegExp(`^frame-(\\d{6})\\.${ext}$`); + const frameIndexes = new Set( + fs.readdirSync(framesDir) + .map((f) => f.match(frameFilePattern)?.[1]) + .filter((index): index is string => index !== undefined) + .map(Number), + ); + // FFmpeg reads frame-%06d from 0 and stops at the first missing index. + let frameCount = 0; + while (frameIndexes.has(frameCount)) { + frameCount++; + }

Count frame numbers longer than six digits.

render-frames.ts uses padStart(6), so frame 1000000 is named frame-1000000.png. FFmpeg also accepts that name for %06d, but this pattern excludes it. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

When audio is present, -t then cuts the output after the first million frames. Count frame numbers with at least six digits.
