Bring the Video tab closer to Shorts with 4K preview stills and crop
modes (none, auto, center, plus the visual editor). Settings store a
default source folder so Find videos can collect output.avi sequences.
Cap the FFmpeg log with auto-scroll, hide repeat spam, and show a
Windows notification when a video or short finishes or fails.
Turn the Shorts tab into a step-by-step wizard and port
amigadb-short-fx-v4.sh: Video background style, auto/manual crop,
source fade-in, and blur/opacity/margin settings.
New "Video | Shorts" tab strip on the main page. The existing Video tab and
its render pipeline are unchanged; Shorts is a new, independent workflow
sharing the same render-progress/log/output controls.
- Services/ShortsPipeline.cs: C# port of amigadb-short.sh rather than
shelling out to bash — end users on plain Windows don't have bash/WSL, and
shipping this as a native part of the app keeps distribution self-contained.
All 19 visual style filtergraphs (brand, pixel, mirror, crop, workbench,
blur, crt, copper, stars, grid, tiles, scan, starfield, plasma,
rasterbars, vhs, monitor, split, spectrum) are copied verbatim from the
bash heredocs. Per explicit decision, kept parity with the script's actual
behavior where the brand-style HOOK_BOX_Y/INFO_BOX_Y/font-size variables
are computed but never actually used in the final filter (dead code in
the original) rather than "fixing" it and changing rendered output.
Reuses ToolExtractor/MediaProbe/ProcessRunner exactly as RenderPipeline
does, so FFmpeg resolution and NVENC fallback behave identically.
- Models/ShortSettings.cs: job parameters + ShortStyle enum.
- AppSettings gains sticky Shorts defaults (style, hook, website, font,
background image, CRF, preset) alongside the existing Video defaults.
- MainPage: Video/Shorts tab buttons toggle two content panels; the
background-image field auto-hides for non-brand styles; font field
defaults to the first bold system font found (Segoe UI Bold, Segoe UI
Semibold, Arial Bold, Calibri Bold); blank output path is auto-derived
from the input filename and style, matching the script's default.
- 13 new unit tests (escaping order, meta-line joining, validation,
every style producing a non-empty filter, the drawtext trailer's timing
gates). Full run is 72/72 passing.
- Fixed a bug caught during manual testing: MainPage.Resources["PrimaryButtonStyle"]
looked in the Page's own (empty) resource dictionary instead of
Application.Current.Resources, throwing on every tab switch.
Verified end-to-end: rendered a real Short from an existing video through
the actual running app (not just unit tests) and inspected extracted
frames — hook/title/meta/website text overlays appear and disappear at the
correct timestamps with correct styling.
