Video Clipper Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Build a macOS GUI app (Tauri v2 + Svelte 5) that lets users paste a video URL, scrub a timeline, mark clips, and export them via ffmpeg — without manually downloading the video first.

Architecture: Rust backend manages subprocess orchestration (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, ffprobe) and communicates with a Svelte 5 frontend via Tauri commands and channels. The frontend provides a Canvas-based timeline with thumbnail strip, waveform, clip markers, and zoom. A hybrid playback model streams video immediately for preview while downloading in the background for export.

Tech Stack: Tauri v2, Svelte 5 (runes), Rust, TypeScript, Vitest, ffmpeg, ffprobe, yt-dlp, deno (for PO token generation)

Global Constraints

  • Platform: macOS only (MVP)
  • Rust edition: 2021
  • Node.js: v24+ (already installed)
  • Tauri: v2 latest stable
  • Svelte: v5 (runes syntax: $state, $derived, $effect)
  • External deps: ffmpeg, yt-dlp, deno, bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider (checked at runtime, not bundled)
  • Cookie default: --cookies-from-browser firefox
  • All yt-dlp invocations must include the user's configured cookie source flags
  • Imports: Always at top of file, never inline
  • Switch exhaustiveness: Use never check in default case for discriminated unions

Rust service tests live alongside the service files via #[cfg(test)] mod tests { ... } blocks.


Task 1: Project Scaffolding & App Shell

Files:

  • Create: src-tauri/Cargo.toml
  • Create: src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
  • Create: src-tauri/capabilities/default.json
  • Create: src-tauri/build.rs
  • Create: src-tauri/src/lib.rs
  • Create: src-tauri/src/models.rs
  • Create: src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs
  • Create: src-tauri/src/services/mod.rs
  • Create: src/App.svelte
  • Create: src/main.ts
  • Create: src/app.css
  • Create: package.json
  • Create: svelte.config.js
  • Create: vite.config.ts
  • Create: tsconfig.json
  • Create: src/lib/utils/time.ts
  • Create: src/lib/utils/colors.ts
  • Test: tests/lib/utils/time.test.ts
  • Test: tests/lib/utils/colors.test.ts

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: Nothing (first task)

  • Produces:

    • formatTime(seconds: number): string — formats 83.5 → "01:23.500"
    • parseTime(str: string): number | null — parses "01:23.500" → 83.5
    • getClipColor(index: number): string — returns a hex color from a rotating palette
    • Tauri app that compiles and shows an empty window
    • CSS custom properties for the app's color scheme
  • Step 1: Scaffold the Tauri v2 + Svelte project

Run from the parent directory of gui-video-clipper. The scaffold creates the project structure:

cd .
npm create tauri-app@latest . -- --template svelte-ts --manager npm

If prompted, choose: Svelte, TypeScript, npm. This creates the base Tauri v2 project with Svelte 5 and Vite.

  • Step 2: Install Tauri plugins and dev dependencies
cd .

# Tauri plugins (Rust side)
cd src-tauri
cargo add tauri-plugin-shell tauri-plugin-dialog tauri-plugin-store tauri-plugin-process
cargo add serde --features derive
cargo add serde_json
cargo add tokio --features full
cargo add thiserror
cargo add uuid --features v4
cargo add tempfile
cd ..

# Frontend plugin packages
npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-shell @tauri-apps/plugin-dialog @tauri-apps/plugin-store @tauri-apps/plugin-process

# Dev dependencies
npm install -D vitest @testing-library/svelte jsdom
  • Step 3: Configure Tauri capabilities

Create src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:

{
  "$schema": "../gen/schemas/desktop-schema.json",
  "identifier": "default",
  "description": "Capability for the main window",
  "windows": ["main"],
  "permissions": [
    "core:default",
    "shell:allow-execute",
    "shell:allow-open",
    "dialog:allow-open",
    "dialog:allow-save",
    "store:allow-get",
    "store:allow-set",
    "store:allow-save",
    "store:allow-load",
    "process:allow-exit"
  ]
}
  • Step 4: Set up Rust entry point with plugins

Write src-tauri/src/lib.rs:

mod commands;
mod models;
mod services;

#[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_shell::init())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_dialog::init())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_store::Builder::new().build())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_process::init())
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Write src-tauri/src/models.rs:

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct VideoMetadata {
    pub url: String,
    pub title: String,
    pub duration: f64,
    pub fps: f64,
    pub thumbnail_url: Option<String>,
    pub stream_url: String,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct Clip {
    pub id: String,
    pub start_time: f64,
    pub end_time: f64,
    pub label: String,
    pub color: String,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct ThumbnailSpritesheet {
    pub file_path: String,
    pub start_index: usize,
    pub count: usize,
    pub thumb_width: u32,
    pub thumb_height: u32,
    pub columns: u32,
    pub interval_seconds: f64,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", tag = "type")]
pub enum CookieSource {
    #[serde(rename = "browser")]
    Browser { browser: String },
    #[serde(rename = "file")]
    File { path: String },
    #[serde(rename = "none")]
    None,
}

impl CookieSource {
    pub fn to_ytdlp_args(&self) -> Vec<String> {
        match self {
            CookieSource::Browser { browser } => {
                vec!["--cookies-from-browser".to_string(), browser.clone()]
            }
            CookieSource::File { path } => {
                vec!["--cookies".to_string(), path.clone()]
            }
            CookieSource::None => vec![],
        }
    }
}

impl Default for CookieSource {
    fn default() -> Self {
        CookieSource::Browser {
            browser: "firefox".to_string(),
        }
    }
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", tag = "mode")]
pub enum CutMode {
    #[serde(rename = "lossless")]
    Lossless,
    #[serde(rename = "precise")]
    Precise { format: String },
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", tag = "scope")]
pub enum ExportScope {
    #[serde(rename = "individual")]
    Individual,
    #[serde(rename = "merged")]
    Merged,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct ExportConfig {
    pub clips: Vec<Clip>,
    pub cut_mode: CutMode,
    pub export_scope: ExportScope,
    pub output_directory: String,
    pub video_title: String,
    pub source_file_path: String,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct DependencyStatus {
    pub name: String,
    pub installed: bool,
    pub version: Option<String>,
    pub install_command: String,
}

Write src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs:

pub mod dependencies;
pub mod export;
pub mod media_analysis;
pub mod video;

Write empty placeholder files for each command module so it compiles:

src-tauri/src/commands/dependencies.rs:

// Dependency check and install commands — implemented in Task 2

src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs:

// Video resolve and download commands — implemented in Task 4/5

src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs:

// Keyframe, waveform, thumbnail extraction commands — implemented in Tasks 9-11

src-tauri/src/commands/export.rs:

// Clip export commands — implemented in Task 12

Write src-tauri/src/services/mod.rs:

pub mod clip_exporter;
pub mod dependency_manager;
pub mod download_manager;
pub mod keyframe_index;
pub mod thumbnail_extractor;
pub mod video_resolver;
pub mod waveform_generator;

Create empty placeholder files for each service module:

src-tauri/src/services/dependency_manager.rs:

// Implemented in Task 2

src-tauri/src/services/video_resolver.rs:

// Implemented in Task 4

src-tauri/src/services/download_manager.rs:

// Implemented in Task 5

src-tauri/src/services/keyframe_index.rs:

// Implemented in Task 9

src-tauri/src/services/waveform_generator.rs:

// Implemented in Task 10

src-tauri/src/services/thumbnail_extractor.rs:

// Implemented in Task 11

src-tauri/src/services/clip_exporter.rs:

// Implemented in Task 12
  • Step 5: Write the failing tests for utility functions

Create tests/lib/utils/time.test.ts:

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { formatTime, parseTime } from '$lib/utils/time';

describe('formatTime', () => {
  it('formats zero seconds', () => {
    expect(formatTime(0)).toBe('00:00.000');
  });

  it('formats seconds with milliseconds', () => {
    expect(formatTime(83.45)).toBe('01:23.450');
  });

  it('formats hours', () => {
    expect(formatTime(3661.5)).toBe('1:01:01.500');
  });

  it('formats exact minutes', () => {
    expect(formatTime(120)).toBe('02:00.000');
  });

  it('handles large values', () => {
    expect(formatTime(7384.123)).toBe('2:03:04.123');
  });
});

describe('parseTime', () => {
  it('parses mm:ss.mmm format', () => {
    expect(parseTime('01:23.450')).toBeCloseTo(83.45);
  });

  it('parses h:mm:ss.mmm format', () => {
    expect(parseTime('1:01:01.500')).toBeCloseTo(3661.5);
  });

  it('returns null for invalid input', () => {
    expect(parseTime('not a time')).toBeNull();
  });

  it('parses mm:ss without milliseconds', () => {
    expect(parseTime('02:00')).toBeCloseTo(120);
  });
});

Create tests/lib/utils/colors.test.ts:

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { getClipColor, CLIP_COLORS } from '$lib/utils/colors';

describe('getClipColor', () => {
  it('returns a valid hex color for index 0', () => {
    expect(getClipColor(0)).toMatch(/^#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}$/);
  });

  it('returns different colors for different indices', () => {
    expect(getClipColor(0)).not.toBe(getClipColor(1));
  });

  it('wraps around the palette', () => {
    expect(getClipColor(0)).toBe(getClipColor(CLIP_COLORS.length));
  });
});
  • Step 6: Run tests to verify they fail
npx vitest run tests/lib/utils/

Expected: FAIL — modules not found.

  • Step 7: Implement utility functions

Configure Vitest by updating vite.config.ts to add test config and path aliases:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [svelte()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      $lib: '/src/lib',
    },
  },
  test: {
    environment: 'jsdom',
    include: ['tests/**/*.test.ts'],
    alias: {
      $lib: '/src/lib',
    },
  },
});

Create src/lib/utils/time.ts:

export function formatTime(totalSeconds: number): string {
  const hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
  const minutes = Math.floor((totalSeconds % 3600) / 60);
  const seconds = Math.floor(totalSeconds % 60);
  const millis = Math.round((totalSeconds % 1) * 1000);

  const mm = String(minutes).padStart(2, '0');
  const ss = String(seconds).padStart(2, '0');
  const ms = String(millis).padStart(3, '0');

  if (hours > 0) {
    return `${hours}:${mm}:${ss}.${ms}`;
  }
  return `${mm}:${ss}.${ms}`;
}

export function parseTime(str: string): number | null {
  const hmsMatch = str.match(/^(\d+):(\d{2}):(\d{2})(?:\.(\d{1,3}))?$/);
  if (hmsMatch) {
    const h = parseInt(hmsMatch[1], 10);
    const m = parseInt(hmsMatch[2], 10);
    const s = parseInt(hmsMatch[3], 10);
    const ms = hmsMatch[4] ? parseInt(hmsMatch[4].padEnd(3, '0'), 10) : 0;
    return h * 3600 + m * 60 + s + ms / 1000;
  }

  const msMatch = str.match(/^(\d{2}):(\d{2})(?:\.(\d{1,3}))?$/);
  if (msMatch) {
    const m = parseInt(msMatch[1], 10);
    const s = parseInt(msMatch[2], 10);
    const ms = msMatch[3] ? parseInt(msMatch[3].padEnd(3, '0'), 10) : 0;
    return m * 60 + s + ms / 1000;
  }

  return null;
}

Create src/lib/utils/colors.ts:

export const CLIP_COLORS = [
  '#4A90D9',
  '#E5734A',
  '#5CB85C',
  '#D94A7A',
  '#D9A54A',
  '#7B68EE',
  '#20B2AA',
  '#FF6B6B',
] as const;

export function getClipColor(index: number): string {
  return CLIP_COLORS[index % CLIP_COLORS.length];
}
  • Step 8: Run tests to verify they pass
npx vitest run tests/lib/utils/

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 9: Create the app layout shell

Create src/app.css:

:root {
  --bg-primary: #1e1e2e;
  --bg-secondary: #2a2a3e;
  --bg-tertiary: #353550;
  --text-primary: #cdd6f4;
  --text-secondary: #a6adc8;
  --text-muted: #6c7086;
  --accent: #89b4fa;
  --accent-hover: #74c7ec;
  --danger: #f38ba8;
  --success: #a6e3a1;
  --warning: #f9e2af;
  --border: #45475a;
  --clip-handle: #ffffff;
  --timeline-bg: #181825;
  --placeholder-gradient: linear-gradient(90deg, #2a2a3e 25%, #353550 50%, #2a2a3e 75%);
  --font-mono: 'SF Mono', 'Fira Code', monospace;
}

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif;
  background: var(--bg-primary);
  color: var(--text-primary);
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 100vh;
}

#app {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  height: 100vh;
}

button {
  cursor: pointer;
  border: none;
  background: var(--bg-tertiary);
  color: var(--text-primary);
  padding: 6px 12px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  font-size: 13px;
}

button:hover {
  background: var(--accent);
  color: var(--bg-primary);
}

button:disabled {
  opacity: 0.4;
  cursor: not-allowed;
}

input[type='text'] {
  background: var(--bg-tertiary);
  color: var(--text-primary);
  border: 1px solid var(--border);
  padding: 8px 12px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  font-size: 14px;
  outline: none;
}

input[type='text']:focus {
  border-color: var(--accent);
}

Create src/App.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import UrlInput from '$lib/components/UrlInput.svelte';
  import VideoPlayer from '$lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte';
  import TransportControls from '$lib/components/TransportControls.svelte';
  import Timeline from '$lib/components/Timeline.svelte';
  import ClipList from '$lib/components/ClipList.svelte';
  import StatusBar from '$lib/components/StatusBar.svelte';
</script>

<div id="app">
  <header class="toolbar">
    <UrlInput />
  </header>

  <main class="content">
    <VideoPlayer />
    <TransportControls />
    <Timeline />
    <ClipList />
  </main>

  <StatusBar />
</div>

<style>
  .toolbar {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 8px 12px;
    background: var(--bg-secondary);
    border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border);
    gap: 8px;
  }

  .content {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    overflow: hidden;
  }
</style>

Create stub components so the app compiles. Each stub is a <div> with the component name:

src/lib/components/UrlInput.svelte:

<div class="url-input">
  <input type="text" placeholder="Paste a video URL..." />
</div>

<style>
  .url-input { flex: 1; }
  .url-input input { width: 100%; }
</style>

src/lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte:

<div class="video-player">
  <div class="placeholder">Paste a URL above to load a video</div>
</div>

<style>
  .video-player {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    background: #000;
    min-height: 200px;
  }
  .placeholder {
    color: var(--text-muted);
    font-size: 16px;
  }
</style>

src/lib/components/TransportControls.svelte:

<div class="transport-controls">
  <span class="placeholder-text">Transport controls</span>
</div>

<style>
  .transport-controls {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 8px 12px;
    background: var(--bg-secondary);
    border-top: 1px solid var(--border);
    border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border);
    min-height: 40px;
  }
  .placeholder-text { color: var(--text-muted); font-size: 13px; }
</style>

src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte:

<div class="timeline">
  <div class="placeholder-text">Timeline</div>
</div>

<style>
  .timeline {
    height: 160px;
    background: var(--timeline-bg);
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
  }
  .placeholder-text { color: var(--text-muted); font-size: 13px; }
</style>

src/lib/components/ClipList.svelte:

<div class="clip-list">
  <div class="placeholder-text">No clips yet — press I to mark in-point</div>
</div>

<style>
  .clip-list {
    padding: 8px 12px;
    background: var(--bg-secondary);
    min-height: 80px;
    border-top: 1px solid var(--border);
  }
  .placeholder-text { color: var(--text-muted); font-size: 13px; }
</style>

src/lib/components/StatusBar.svelte:

<div class="status-bar">
  <span class="status-text">Ready</span>
</div>

<style>
  .status-bar {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 4px 12px;

    font-size: 12px;
    color: var(--text-secondary);
    min-height: 24px;
  }
</style>
  • Step 10: Verify the app compiles and launches
cd .
cargo tauri dev

Expected: The app window opens showing the basic layout — URL input bar at top, dark video placeholder in the center, transport controls strip, timeline area, clip list area, status bar at the bottom. No functionality yet.

  • Step 11: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: scaffold Tauri v2 + Svelte 5 project with base layout and utilities"

Task 2: Dependency Manager & Setup Wizard

Files:

  • Modify: src-tauri/src/lib.rs (register commands)
  • Create: src-tauri/src/services/dependency_manager.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/commands/dependencies.rs
  • Create: src/lib/bindings/dependencies.ts
  • Create: src/lib/components/SetupWizard.svelte
  • Modify: src/App.svelte (show wizard on launch)

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: DependencyStatus from models.rs (Task 1)

  • Produces:

    • Tauri command check_dependencies() -> Vec<DependencyStatus>
    • Tauri command install_dependency(name: String, on_event: Channel) -> Result<(), String>
    • TypeScript checkDependencies(): Promise<DependencyStatus[]>
    • TypeScript installDependency(name: string, onOutput: (line: string) => void): Promise<void>
  • Step 1: Write Rust tests for dependency checking

Write src-tauri/src/services/dependency_manager.rs:

use crate::models::DependencyStatus;
use std::process::Command;

pub fn check_tool_exists(name: &str) -> Option<String> {
    let output = Command::new("which").arg(name).output().ok()?;

        Some(version)
    } else {
        None
    }
}

pub fn check_js_runtime() -> Option<String> {
    check_tool_exists("deno").or_else(|| check_tool_exists("node"))
}

pub fn check_pot_plugin() -> bool {
    let output = Command::new("yt-dlp")

        assert_eq!(statuses[3].name, "bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider");
    }
}
  • Step 2: Run Rust tests to verify they pass
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::dependency_manager -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Write the Tauri commands

Write src-tauri/src/commands/dependencies.rs:

use serde::Serialize;
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use std::process::{Command, Stdio};
use tauri::ipc::Channel;

use crate::models::DependencyStatus;
use crate::services::dependency_manager;

#[tauri::command]
pub fn check_dependencies() -> Vec<DependencyStatus> {
    dependency_manager::get_all_dependency_statuses()
}

#[derive(Clone, Serialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", tag = "event", content = "data")]
pub enum InstallEvent {
    Output { line: String },
    Finished { success: bool },
}

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn install_dependency(
    name: String,
    on_event: Channel<InstallEvent>,
) -> Result<(), String> {
    let args = dependency_manager::get_install_args(&name)?;
    let (cmd, cmd_args) = args.split_first().ok_or("Empty install command")?;

    let mut child = Command::new(cmd)
        .args(cmd_args)
        .stdout(Stdio::piped())
        .stderr(Stdio::piped())
        .spawn()
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to start install: {e}"))?;

    if let Some(stdout) = child.stdout.take() {
        let reader = BufReader::new(stdout);
        for line in reader.lines().map_while(Result::ok) {
            let _ = on_event.send(InstallEvent::Output { line });
        }
    }

    let status = child.wait().map_err(|e| format!("Install failed: {e}"))?;
    let _ = on_event.send(InstallEvent::Finished {
        success: status.success(),
    });

    if status.success() {
        Ok(())
    } else {
        Err("Install command exited with non-zero status".to_string())
    }
}

Register commands in src-tauri/src/lib.rs:

mod commands;
mod models;
mod services;

use commands::dependencies;

#[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_shell::init())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_dialog::init())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_store::Builder::new().build())
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_process::init())
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![
            dependencies::check_dependencies,
            dependencies::install_dependency,
        ])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}
  • Step 4: Write the TypeScript bindings

Create src/lib/bindings/dependencies.ts:

import { invoke, Channel } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';

export interface DependencyStatus {
  name: string;
  installed: boolean;
  version: string | null;
  installCommand: string;
}

type InstallEvent =
  | { event: 'output'; data: { line: string } }
  | { event: 'finished'; data: { success: boolean } };

export async function checkDependencies(): Promise<DependencyStatus[]> {
  return invoke<DependencyStatus[]>('check_dependencies');
}

export async function installDependency(
  name: string,
  onOutput: (line: string) => void,
  onFinished: (success: boolean) => void
): Promise<void> {
  const onEvent = new Channel<InstallEvent>();
  onEvent.onmessage = (message) => {
    switch (message.event) {
      case 'output':
        onOutput(message.data.line);
        break;
      case 'finished':
        onFinished(message.data.success);
        break;
      default: {
        const _exhaustive: never = message;
        throw new Error(`Unhandled install event: ${(_exhaustive as InstallEvent).event}`);
      }
    }
  };
  await invoke('install_dependency', { name, onEvent });
}
  • Step 5: Create the SetupWizard component

Create src/lib/components/SetupWizard.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import {
    checkDependencies,
    installDependency,
    type DependencyStatus,
  } from '$lib/bindings/dependencies';

  let {
    onComplete,
  }: {
    onComplete: () => void;
  } = $props();

  let statuses = $state<DependencyStatus[]>([]);
  let loading = $state(true);
  let installingIndex = $state<number | null>(null);
  let installLog = $state<string[]>([]);
  let installError = $state<string | null>(null);

  $effect(() => {
    runChecks();
  });

  async function runChecks() {
    loading = true;
    statuses = await checkDependencies();
    loading = false;

    const criticalMet = statuses[0]?.installed && statuses[1]?.installed;
    const allMet = statuses.every((s) => s.installed);
    if (allMet) {
      onComplete();
    }
  }

  async function install(index: number) {
    const dep = statuses[index];
    installingIndex = index;
    installLog = [];
    installError = null;

    try {
      await installDependency(
        dep.name,
        (line) => {
          installLog = [...installLog, line];
        },
        (success) => {
          if (!success) {
            installError = 'Installation failed. Check the log for details.';
          }
        }
      );
      await runChecks();
    } catch (e) {
      installError = String(e);
    } finally {
      installingIndex = null;
    }
  }

  function skip() {
    const criticalMet = statuses[0]?.installed && statuses[1]?.installed;
    if (criticalMet) {
      onComplete();
    }
  }

  let criticalMet = $derived(statuses[0]?.installed && statuses[1]?.installed);

  • Step 6: Wire SetupWizard into App.svelte

Update src/App.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import UrlInput from '$lib/components/UrlInput.svelte';
  import VideoPlayer from '$lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte';
  import TransportControls from '$lib/components/TransportControls.svelte';
  import Timeline from '$lib/components/Timeline.svelte';
  import ClipList from '$lib/components/ClipList.svelte';
  import StatusBar from '$lib/components/StatusBar.svelte';
  import SetupWizard from '$lib/components/SetupWizard.svelte';

  let showSetupWizard = $state(true);
</script>

{#if showSetupWizard}
  <SetupWizard onComplete={() => (showSetupWizard = false)} />
{/if}

<div id="app">
  <header class="toolbar">

  }

  .content {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    overflow: hidden;
  }
</style>
  • Step 7: Verify the app compiles and the wizard appears
cd .
cargo tauri dev

Expected: App launches, Setup Wizard overlay appears, shows dependency statuses with ✅/❌ indicators. If ffmpeg and yt-dlp are present, the Continue button is enabled. Clicking Continue dismisses the wizard.

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add dependency manager and setup wizard"

Task 3: Preferences Store

Files:

  • Create: src/lib/stores/preferences.svelte.ts
  • Create: src/lib/components/PreferencesPanel.svelte
  • Modify: src/App.svelte (add prefs button + panel)

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: CookieSource type from models.rs (Task 1)

  • Produces:

    • preferences store: { outputDirectory: string; cookieSource: CookieSource }
    • loadPreferences(): Promise<void>
    • savePreferences(): Promise<void>
    • PreferencesPanel component with cookie source and output dir configuration
  • Step 1: Create the preferences store

Create src/lib/stores/preferences.svelte.ts:

import { load, Store } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-store';

export type CookieSource =
  | { type: 'browser'; browser: 'firefox' }
  | { type: 'file'; path: string }
  | { type: 'none' };

let store: Store | null = null;

export let outputDirectory = $state(DEFAULT_PREFERENCES.outputDirectory);
export let cookieSource = $state<CookieSource>(DEFAULT_PREFERENCES.cookieSource);

export async function loadPreferences(): Promise<void> {

  const savedDir = await store.get<string>('outputDirectory');
  const savedCookie = await store.get<CookieSource>('cookieSource');
  if (savedDir) outputDirectory = savedDir;
  if (savedCookie) cookieSource = savedCookie;
}

export async function savePreferences(): Promise<void> {
  if (!store) return;
  await store.set('outputDirectory', outputDirectory);
  await store.set('cookieSource', cookieSource);
  await store.save();
}

export async function setOutputDirectory(dir: string): Promise<void> {
  outputDirectory = dir;
  await savePreferences();
}

export async function setCookieSource(source: CookieSource): Promise<void> {
  cookieSource = source;
  await savePreferences();
}
  • Step 2: Create the PreferencesPanel component

Create src/lib/components/PreferencesPanel.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import { open } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog';
  import {
    outputDirectory,
    cookieSource,
    setOutputDirectory,
    setCookieSource,

  } from '$lib/stores/preferences.svelte';

  let { onClose }: { onClose: () => void } = $props();

  let cookieType = $derived(cookieSource.type);
  let cookieFilePath = $state(cookieSource.type === 'file' ? cookieSource.path : '');

  async function pickOutputDirectory() {
    const selected = await open({
      directory: true,
      defaultPath: outputDirectory,
      title: 'Choose output directory',
    });
    if (selected) {
      await setOutputDirectory(selected as string);
    }
  }

  async function handleCookieTypeChange(newType: string) {
    let newSource: CookieSource;
    switch (newType) {

  • Step 3: Wire preferences into App.svelte

Update src/App.svelte to add a ⚙ button in the toolbar and load preferences on mount:

<script lang="ts">
  import UrlInput from '$lib/components/UrlInput.svelte';
  import VideoPlayer from '$lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte';
  import TransportControls from '$lib/components/TransportControls.svelte';
  import Timeline from '$lib/components/Timeline.svelte';
  import ClipList from '$lib/components/ClipList.svelte';
  import StatusBar from '$lib/components/StatusBar.svelte';
  import SetupWizard from '$lib/components/SetupWizard.svelte';
  import PreferencesPanel from '$lib/components/PreferencesPanel.svelte';
  import { loadPreferences } from '$lib/stores/preferences.svelte';

  let showSetupWizard = $state(true);
  let showPreferences = $state(false);

  $effect(() => {
    loadPreferences();
  });
</script>

{#if showSetupWizard}
  <SetupWizard onComplete={() => (showSetupWizard = false)} />
{/if}

{#if showPreferences}
  <PreferencesPanel onClose={() => (showPreferences = false)} />
{/if}

<div id="app">
  <header class="toolbar">
    <UrlInput />
    <button class="prefs-btn" onclick={() => (showPreferences = true)} title="Preferences">⚙</button>
  </header>

  <main class="content">
    <VideoPlayer />
    <TransportControls />
    <Timeline />
    <ClipList />
  </main>

  <StatusBar />
</div>

<style>
  .toolbar {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 8px 12px;
    background: var(--bg-secondary);
    border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border);
    gap: 8px;
  }

  .content {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    overflow: hidden;
  }

  .prefs-btn {
    font-size: 18px;
    padding: 4px 8px;
  }
</style>
  • Step 4: Verify preferences panel works
cargo tauri dev

Expected: ⚙ button in toolbar opens the Preferences panel. Cookie source radio buttons work. Output directory chooser opens a native folder picker. Closing and reopening the app retains the settings.

  • Step 5: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add preferences store with cookie source and output directory"

Task 4: Video Resolver, URL Input & Video Player

Files:

  • Create: src-tauri/src/services/video_resolver.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/lib.rs (register commands)
  • Create: src/lib/bindings/video.ts
  • Create: src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts
  • Modify: src/lib/components/UrlInput.svelte
  • Modify: src/lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: CookieSource from models.rs, cookieSource from preferences store

  • Produces:

    • Tauri command resolve_url(url: String, cookie_source: CookieSource) -> Result<VideoMetadata, String>
    • TypeScript resolveUrl(url: string): Promise<VideoMetadata>
    • videoSession store with url, title, duration, fps, streamUrl, currentTime, isPlaying, etc.
    • VideoPlayer component that plays a stream URL and exposes seek/play/pause to the store
  • Step 1: Write Rust tests for yt-dlp output parsing

Write src-tauri/src/services/video_resolver.rs:

use crate::models::{CookieSource, VideoMetadata};
use serde::Deserialize;
use std::process::Command;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct YtDlpJson {
    title: String,
    duration: Option<f64>,
    fps: Option<f64>,
    thumbnail: Option<String>,
}

pub fn parse_ytdlp_json(json_str: &str) -> Result<YtDlpJson, String> {
    serde_json::from_str::<YtDlpJson>(json_str)
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to parse yt-dlp JSON: {e}"))
}

pub fn resolve(url: &str, cookie_source: &CookieSource) -> Result<VideoMetadata, String> {
    let cookie_args = cookie_source.to_ytdlp_args();

    // Get metadata
    let mut meta_cmd = Command::new("yt-dlp");
    meta_cmd.arg("--dump-json").arg("--no-download");
    for arg in &cookie_args {
        meta_cmd.arg(arg);
    }
    meta_cmd.arg(url);

    let meta_output = meta_cmd
        .output()
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to run yt-dlp: {e}"))?;

    if !meta_output.status.success() {
        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&meta_output.stderr);
        return Err(format!("yt-dlp metadata failed: {stderr}"));
    }

    let json_str = String::from_utf8_lossy(&meta_output.stdout);
    let meta = parse_ytdlp_json(&json_str)?;

    // Get stream URL
    let mut stream_cmd = Command::new("yt-dlp");
    stream_cmd.arg("-g").arg("--no-download");
    for arg in &cookie_args {
        stream_cmd.arg(arg);
    }
    stream_cmd.arg(url);

    let stream_output = stream_cmd
        .output()
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to get stream URL: {e}"))?;

    if !stream_output.status.success() {
        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&stream_output.stderr);
        return Err(format!("yt-dlp stream URL failed: {stderr}"));
    }

    let stream_url = String::from_utf8_lossy(&stream_output.stdout)
        .lines()
        .next()
        .unwrap_or("")
        .trim()
        .to_string();

    Ok(VideoMetadata {
        url: url.to_string(),
        title: meta.title,
        duration: meta.duration.unwrap_or(0.0),
        fps: meta.fps.unwrap_or(30.0),
        thumbnail_url: meta.thumbnail,
        stream_url,
    })
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_parse_ytdlp_json_valid() {
        let json = r#"{"title": "Test Video", "duration": 125.5, "fps": 29.97, "thumbnail": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/abc/hqdefault.jpg"}"#;
        let result = parse_ytdlp_json(json).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(result.title, "Test Video");
        assert!((result.duration.unwrap() - 125.5).abs() < 0.001);
        assert!((result.fps.unwrap() - 29.97).abs() < 0.001);
        assert_eq!(
            result.thumbnail.unwrap(),
            "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/abc/hqdefault.jpg"
        );
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_parse_ytdlp_json_missing_optional_fields() {
        let json = r#"{"title": "Minimal Video"}"#;
        let result = parse_ytdlp_json(json).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(result.title, "Minimal Video");
        assert!(result.duration.is_none());
        assert!(result.fps.is_none());
        assert!(result.thumbnail.is_none());
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_parse_ytdlp_json_invalid() {
        let result = parse_ytdlp_json("not json");
        assert!(result.is_err());
    }
}
  • Step 2: Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::video_resolver -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Write the Tauri command

Write src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs:

use crate::models::{CookieSource, VideoMetadata};
use crate::services::video_resolver;

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn resolve_url(
    url: String,
    cookie_source: CookieSource,
) -> Result<VideoMetadata, String> {
    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || video_resolver::resolve(&url, &cookie_source))
        .await
        .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

Register in src-tauri/src/lib.rs — add commands::video::resolve_url to the invoke_handler macro:

use commands::{dependencies, video};

// in the builder:
.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![
    dependencies::check_dependencies,
    dependencies::install_dependency,
    video::resolve_url,
])
  • Step 4: Write TypeScript bindings and video session store

Create src/lib/bindings/video.ts:

import { invoke } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';
import { cookieSource } from '$lib/stores/preferences.svelte';

export interface VideoMetadata {
  url: string;
  title: string;
  duration: number;
  fps: number;
  thumbnailUrl: string | null;
  streamUrl: string;
}

export async function resolveUrl(url: string): Promise<VideoMetadata> {
  return invoke<VideoMetadata>('resolve_url', {
    url,
    cookieSource,
  });
}

Create src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts:

import type { VideoMetadata } from '$lib/bindings/video';
import type { ThumbnailSpritesheet } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';

export type SessionStatus = 'idle' | 'resolving' | 'ready' | 'error';

export let status = $state<SessionStatus>('idle');
export let error = $state<string | null>(null);

// Video metadata
export let url = $state('');
export let title = $state('');
export let duration = $state(0);
export let fps = $state(30);
export let thumbnailUrl = $state<string | null>(null);
export let streamUrl = $state('');

// Playback state
export let currentTime = $state(0);
export let isPlaying = $state(false);

// Download state
export let localFilePath = $state<string | null>(null);
export let downloadProgress = $state(0);

// Post-download data
export let keyframePositions = $state<number[]>([]);
export let waveformPeaks = $state<number[]>([]);
export let thumbnailSpritesheets = $state<ThumbnailSpritesheet[]>([]);

export function setMetadata(meta: VideoMetadata) {
  url = meta.url;
  title = meta.title;
  duration = meta.duration;
  fps = meta.fps;
  thumbnailUrl = meta.thumbnailUrl;
  streamUrl = meta.streamUrl;
  status = 'ready';
  error = null;

  // Reset download and analysis state
  localFilePath = null;
  downloadProgress = 0;
  keyframePositions = [];
  waveformPeaks = [];
  thumbnailSpritesheets = [];
}

export function setError(msg: string) {
  status = 'error';
  error = msg;
}

export function setResolving() {
  status = 'resolving';
  error = null;
}

export function reset() {
  status = 'idle';
  error = null;
  url = '';
  title = '';
  duration = 0;
  fps = 30;
  thumbnailUrl = null;
  streamUrl = '';
  currentTime = 0;
  isPlaying = false;
  localFilePath = null;
  downloadProgress = 0;
  keyframePositions = [];
  waveformPeaks = [];
  thumbnailSpritesheets = [];
}

Create a placeholder for the media analysis types so the import above doesn't break:

Create src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts:

export interface ThumbnailSpritesheet {
  filePath: string;
  startIndex: number;
  count: number;
  thumbWidth: number;
  thumbHeight: number;
  columns: number;
  intervalSeconds: number;
}
  • Step 5: Implement UrlInput with resolve wiring

Rewrite src/lib/components/UrlInput.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import { resolveUrl } from '$lib/bindings/video';
  import {
    status,
    error as sessionError,
    setMetadata,
    setError,
    setResolving,
  } from '$lib/stores/videoSession.svelte';

  let inputValue = $state('');

  async function handleSubmit() {
    const trimmed = inputValue.trim();
    if (!trimmed) return;

    setResolving();
    try {
      const meta = await resolveUrl(trimmed);
      setMetadata(meta);
    } catch (e) {
      setError(String(e));
    }
  }

  function handleKeydown(e: KeyboardEvent) {
    if (e.key === 'Enter') {
      handleSubmit();
    }
  }

  function handlePaste(e: ClipboardEvent) {
    const text = e.clipboardData?.getData('text')?.trim();
    if (text && (text.startsWith('http://') || text.startsWith('https://'))) {
      inputValue = text;
      setTimeout(handleSubmit, 50);
    }
  }
</script>

<div class="url-input">
  <input
    type="text"
    placeholder="Paste a video URL and press Enter…"
    bind:value={inputValue}
    onkeydown={handleKeydown}
    onpaste={handlePaste}
    disabled={status === 'resolving'}
  />
  {#if status === 'resolving'}
    <span class="spinner">⏳</span>
  {/if}
  {#if sessionError}
    <span class="error" title={sessionError}>⚠</span>
  {/if}
</div>

<style>
  .url-input {
    flex: 1;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    gap: 8px;
  }
  .url-input input {
    width: 100%;
  }
  .spinner {
    animation: pulse 1s ease-in-out infinite;
  }
  .error {
    color: var(--danger);
    cursor: help;
  }
  @keyframes pulse {
    0%,
    100% {
      opacity: 1;
    }
    50% {
      opacity: 0.4;
    }
  }
</style>
  • Step 6: Implement VideoPlayer with stream URL playback

Rewrite src/lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import {
    streamUrl,
    status,
    currentTime,
    isPlaying,
    duration as sessionDuration,
  } from '$lib/stores/videoSession.svelte';

  let videoElement = $state<HTMLVideoElement | null>(null);

  // Sync video element → store
  function handleTimeUpdate() {
    if (videoElement) {
      currentTime = videoElement.currentTime;
    }
  }

  function handlePlay() {
    isPlaying = true;
  }

  function handlePause() {
    isPlaying = false;
  }

  // Expose seek/play/pause for other components
  export function seek(time: number) {
    if (videoElement) {
      videoElement.currentTime = time;
      currentTime = time;
    }
  }

  export function play() {
    videoElement?.play();
  }

  export function pause() {
    videoElement?.pause();
  }

  export function togglePlayPause() {
    if (!videoElement) return;
    if (videoElement.paused) {
      videoElement.play();
    } else {
      videoElement.pause();
    }
  }

  export function getVideoElement(): HTMLVideoElement | null {
    return videoElement;
  }
</script>

<div class="video-player">

      onpause={handlePause}
      preload="auto"
    >
      <track kind="captions" />
    </video>
  {:else if status === 'resolving'}
    <div class="placeholder">Loading video…</div>
  {:else if status === 'error'}
    <div class="placeholder error">Failed to load video. Check the URL and try again.</div>
  {:else}
    <div class="placeholder">Paste a URL above to load a video</div>
  {/if}

  .placeholder {
    color: var(--text-muted);
    font-size: 16px;
  }

  .placeholder.error {
    color: var(--danger);
  }
</style>
  • Step 7: Verify URL resolution and video playback
cargo tauri dev

Paste a YouTube URL into the input. Expected: spinner appears, then the video loads and plays. The video element should be visible and seekable.

Note: This step requires a working yt-dlp + cookies setup. If YouTube requires auth and cookies aren't configured, test with a non-YouTube URL that yt-dlp supports (e.g., a direct video URL).

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add video resolver, URL input, and video player"

Task 5: Download Manager & Status Bar

Files:

  • Create: src-tauri/src/services/download_manager.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs (add download commands)
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/lib.rs (register commands)
  • Modify: src/lib/bindings/video.ts (add download functions)
  • Modify: src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts (download state)
  • Modify: src/lib/components/StatusBar.svelte

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: CookieSource, VideoMetadata, cookieSource from preferences

  • Produces:

    • Tauri command start_download(url, cookie_source, on_event: Channel) -> Result<String, String> (returns temp file path)
    • Tauri command cancel_download(download_id: String) -> Result<(), String>
    • TypeScript startDownload(url: string, onProgress: (pct: number) => void): Promise<string>
    • TypeScript cancelDownload(id: string): Promise<void>
  • Step 1: Write Rust download manager with progress parsing

Write src-tauri/src/services/download_manager.rs:

use crate::models::CookieSource;
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use std::process::{Child, Command, Stdio};
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};

pub struct DownloadHandle {
    pub child: Arc<Mutex<Option<Child>>>,

  • Step 2: Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::download_manager -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Add download Tauri commands

Add to src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs:

use crate::models::{CookieSource, VideoMetadata};
use crate::services::{download_manager, video_resolver};
use serde::Serialize;
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use tauri::ipc::Channel;

#[tauri::command]

    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || video_resolver::resolve(&url, &cookie_source))
        .await
        .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

#[derive(Clone, Serialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", tag = "event", content = "data")]
pub enum DownloadEvent {
    Progress { percent: f64 },
    FilePath { path: String },
    Finished { success: bool, path: String },
    Error { message: String },
}

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn start_download(
    url: String,
    cookie_source: CookieSource,
    on_event: Channel<DownloadEvent>,
) -> Result<(), String> {
    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || {
        let temp_dir = std::env::temp_dir()
            .join("video-clipper")
            .to_string_lossy()
            .to_string();
        std::fs::create_dir_all(&temp_dir)
            .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to create temp dir: {e}"))?;

        let (mut child, _template) = download_manager::start_download(&url, &cookie_source, &temp_dir)?;

        // Read stderr for progress (yt-dlp writes progress to stderr with --newline)
        if let Some(stderr) = child.stderr.take() {
            let reader = BufReader::new(stderr);
            let mut last_file_path: Option<String> = None;

            for line in reader.lines().map_while(Result::ok) {
                if let Some(pct) = download_manager::parse_progress_line(&line) {
                    let _ = on_event.send(DownloadEvent::Progress { percent: pct });
                }

                // yt-dlp prints: [download] Destination: /path/to/file.mp4
                if line.contains("[download] Destination:") || line.contains("[Merger] Merging formats into") {
                    if let Some(path) = line.split(": ").nth(1) {
                        let trimmed = path.trim().trim_matches('"').to_string();
                        let _ = on_event.send(DownloadEvent::FilePath { path: trimmed.clone() });
                        last_file_path = Some(trimmed);
                    }
                }
            }

            let status = child.wait().map_err(|e| format!("Download failed: {e}"))?;
            let path = last_file_path.unwrap_or_default();
            let _ = on_event.send(DownloadEvent::Finished {
                success: status.success(),
                path,
            });
        }

        Ok(())
    })
    .await
    .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

Register start_download in lib.rs:

.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![
    dependencies::check_dependencies,
    dependencies::install_dependency,
    video::resolve_url,
    video::start_download,
])
  • Step 4: Write TypeScript bindings and update store

Update src/lib/bindings/video.ts:

import { invoke, Channel } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';
import { cookieSource } from '$lib/stores/preferences.svelte';

export interface VideoMetadata {
  url: string;
  title: string;
  duration: number;
  fps: number;
  thumbnailUrl: string | null;
  streamUrl: string;
}

type DownloadEvent =
  | { event: 'progress'; data: { percent: number } }
  | { event: 'filePath'; data: { path: string } }
  | { event: 'finished'; data: { success: boolean; path: string } }
  | { event: 'error'; data: { message: string } };

export async function resolveUrl(url: string): Promise<VideoMetadata> {
  return invoke<VideoMetadata>('resolve_url', {
    url,
    cookieSource,
  });
}

export async function startDownload(
  url: string,
  onProgress: (percent: number) => void,
  onFilePath: (path: string) => void,
  onFinished: (success: boolean, path: string) => void,
  onError: (message: string) => void
): Promise<void> {
  const onEvent = new Channel<DownloadEvent>();
  onEvent.onmessage = (message) => {
    switch (message.event) {
      case 'progress':
        onProgress(message.data.percent);
        break;
      case 'filePath':
        onFilePath(message.data.path);
        break;
      case 'finished':
        onFinished(message.data.success, message.data.path);
        break;
      case 'error':
        onError(message.data.message);
        break;
      default: {
        const _exhaustive: never = message;
        throw new Error(`Unhandled download event: ${(_exhaustive as DownloadEvent).event}`);
      }
    }
  };
  await invoke('start_download', { url, cookieSource, onEvent });
}

Update src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts — add a function to start the download after metadata is loaded. Add this after the existing exports:

import { startDownload } from '$lib/bindings/video';

export async function beginDownload() {
  if (!url) return;

  await startDownload(
    url,
    (percent) => {
      downloadProgress = percent;
    },
    (path) => {
      localFilePath = path;
    },
    (success, path) => {
      if (success) {
        downloadProgress = 1.0;
        localFilePath = path;
      }
    },
    (message) => {
      console.error('Download error:', message);
    }
  );
}
  • Step 5: Update StatusBar to show download progress

Rewrite src/lib/components/StatusBar.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import {
    status,
    downloadProgress,
    localFilePath,
    title,
  } from '$lib/stores/videoSession.svelte';

  let progressPercent = $derived(Math.round(downloadProgress * 100));
  let isDownloading = $derived(
    status === 'ready' && downloadProgress > 0 && downloadProgress < 1
  );
  let isDownloaded = $derived(localFilePath !== null && downloadProgress >= 1);
</script>

<div class="status-bar">
  {#if isDownloading}
    <div class="progress-bar">
      <div class="progress-fill" style="width: {progressPercent}%"></div>
    </div>
    <span class="status-text">Downloading: {progressPercent}%</span>
  {:else if isDownloaded}
    <span class="status-text success">✓ Downloaded: {title}</span>
  {:else if status === 'resolving'}
    <span class="status-text">Resolving URL…</span>
  {:else if status === 'ready'}
    <span class="status-text">Starting download…</span>
  {:else}
    <span class="status-text">Ready</span>
  {/if}
</div>

<style>
  .status-bar {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 4px 12px;
    background: var(--bg-tertiary);
    border-top: 1px solid var(--border);
    font-size: 12px;
    color: var(--text-secondary);
    min-height: 24px;
    gap: 8px;
  }

  .progress-bar {
    flex: 1;
    height: 4px;
    background: var(--bg-primary);
    border-radius: 2px;
    overflow: hidden;
    max-width: 200px;
  }

  .progress-fill {
    height: 100%;
    background: var(--accent);
    transition: width 0.3s ease;
  }

  .success {
    color: var(--success);
  }
</style>
  • Step 6: Wire auto-download into UrlInput after resolve

Update src/lib/components/UrlInput.svelte — trigger beginDownload() after setMetadata:

In the handleSubmit function, after setMetadata(meta):

import { beginDownload } from '$lib/stores/videoSession.svelte';

// Inside handleSubmit, after setMetadata:
setMetadata(meta);
beginDownload(); // Fire-and-forget background download
  • Step 7: Verify download works end-to-end
cargo tauri dev

Paste a URL. Expected: Video streams immediately. Status bar shows download progress (0% → 100%). After completion, status bar shows "✓ Downloaded."

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add background download manager with progress reporting"

Task 6: Timeline Core

Files:

  • Create: src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts
  • Create: src/lib/timeline/interactions.ts
  • Modify: src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte
  • Test: tests/lib/timeline/renderer.test.ts
  • Test: tests/lib/timeline/interactions.test.ts

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: currentTime, duration, isPlaying from videoSession store

  • Produces:

    • TimelineState type: { visibleStart, visibleEnd, zoom, width, height }
    • timeToX(time: number, state: TimelineState): number
    • xToTime(x: number, state: TimelineState): number
    • drawTimeline(ctx, state, currentTime, clips, waveform, thumbnails) — main draw function
    • handleTimelineClick(x, state): number — returns target time
    • Canvas element synced with video playhead, clickable, scrollable zoom
  • Step 1: Write failing tests for coordinate mapping

Create tests/lib/timeline/renderer.test.ts:

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { timeToX, xToTime, type TimelineState } from '$lib/timeline/renderer';

function makeState(overrides: Partial<TimelineState> = {}): TimelineState {
  return {

  });

  it('maps midpoint correctly', () => {

    expect(xToTime(300, state)).toBe(30);
  });

  it('inverse of timeToX', () => {
    const state = makeState({ visibleStart: 10, visibleEnd: 20 });
    expect(xToTime(timeToX(15, state), state)).toBeCloseTo(15);
  });
});

Create tests/lib/timeline/interactions.test.ts:

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { clampZoom, computeZoom, type TimelineState } from '$lib/timeline/interactions';

describe('clampZoom', () => {
  it('clamps zoom above minimum', () => {
    expect(clampZoom(0.5, 60)).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(1);
  });

  it('clamps zoom below maximum', () => {
    expect(clampZoom(10000, 60)).toBeLessThanOrEqual(600);
  });
});

describe('computeZoom', () => {
  it('zooming in narrows the visible range', () => {
    const state: TimelineState = {
      visibleStart: 0,
      visibleEnd: 60,
      zoom: 1,
      width: 600,
      height: 160,
    };
    const result = computeZoom(state, 30, 1.1, 60);
    const newRange = result.visibleEnd - result.visibleStart;
    expect(newRange).toBeLessThan(60);
  });

  it('zooming out widens the visible range', () => {
    const state: TimelineState = {
      visibleStart: 10,
      visibleEnd: 20,
      zoom: 6,
      width: 600,
      height: 160,
    };
    const result = computeZoom(state, 15, 0.9, 60);
    const newRange = result.visibleEnd - result.visibleStart;
    expect(newRange).toBeGreaterThan(10);

  • Step 4: Implement timeline interactions

  • Step 7: Verify timeline renders and interacts correctly
cargo tauri dev

Load a video. Expected: Timeline shows with time ticks, placeholder lanes ("Generating Thumbnails…", "Generating Waveform…"), and a white playhead that tracks the video position. Clicking the timeline seeks the video. Scrolling zooms in/out centered on the cursor.

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add canvas-based timeline with playhead, scrubbing, and zoom"

Task 7: Clip Management

Files:

  • Create: src/lib/stores/clips.svelte.ts
  • Create: src/lib/timeline/clipRenderer.ts
  • Modify: src/lib/components/ClipList.svelte
  • Modify: src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts (call clip renderer)
  • Modify: src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte (clip drag interactions)
  • Test: tests/lib/stores/clips.test.ts

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: currentTime from videoSession store, TimelineState from renderer, getClipColor from colors util

  • Produces:

    • clips store: array of Clip with CRUD operations
    • selectedClipId, pendingInPoint
    • markInPoint(time), markOutPoint(time), addClip(start, end), removeClip(id), updateClip(id, changes)
    • drawClips(ctx, state, clips, selectedId) — renders clip regions on canvas
    • hitTestClipHandle(x, y, state, clips): { clipId, edge } | null — for drag detection
  • Step 1: Write failing tests for clip store

Create tests/lib/stores/clips.test.ts:

import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach } from 'vitest';

// Since Svelte 5 runes only work in .svelte.ts files, we test the pure logic
// by importing the functions and reading the exported $state values.
// For vitest, we need to mock the runes or test the logic directly.
// We'll test the pure functions that clips.svelte.ts exposes.

import {
  addClip,
  removeClip,
  updateClip,
  markInPoint,
  markOutPoint,
  getClips,
  getSelectedClipId,
  getPendingInPoint,
  clearAll,
} from '$lib/stores/clips.svelte';

describe('clip store', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    clearAll();
  });

  it('starts with no clips', () => {
    expect(getClips()).toHaveLength(0);
  });

  it('adds a clip', () => {
    addClip(10, 20);
    const clips = getClips();
    expect(clips).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(clips[0].startTime).toBe(10);
    expect(clips[0].endTime).toBe(20);
    expect(clips[0].label).toBe('Clip 1');
  });

  it('removes a clip', () => {
    addClip(10, 20);
    const id = getClips()[0].id;
    removeClip(id);
    expect(getClips()).toHaveLength(0);
  });

  it('updates clip times', () => {
    addClip(10, 20);
    const id = getClips()[0].id;
    updateClip(id, { startTime: 5 });
    expect(getClips()[0].startTime).toBe(5);
    expect(getClips()[0].endTime).toBe(20);
  });

  it('marks in-point and out-point to create a clip', () => {
    markInPoint(15);
    expect(getPendingInPoint()).toBe(15);
    expect(getClips()).toHaveLength(0);

    markOutPoint(25);
    expect(getPendingInPoint()).toBeNull();
    expect(getClips()).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(getClips()[0].startTime).toBe(15);
    expect(getClips()[0].endTime).toBe(25);
  });

  it('updates selected clip start when I is pressed', () => {
    addClip(10, 20);
    const id = getClips()[0].id;
    selectClip(id);

    markInPoint(5);
    expect(getClips()[0].startTime).toBe(5);
    expect(getPendingInPoint()).toBeNull();
  });

  it('swaps start/end if in-point is after out-point', () => {

    markOutPoint(10);
    const clip = getClips()[0];
    expect(clip.startTime).toBe(10);
    expect(clip.endTime).toBe(30);
  });
});

// We need to also import selectClip
import { selectClip } from '$lib/stores/clips.svelte';
  • Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail
npx vitest run tests/lib/stores/clips.test.ts

Expected: FAIL — module not found.

  • Step 3: Implement the clips store

Create src/lib/stores/clips.svelte.ts:

import { getClipColor } from '$lib/utils/colors';

export interface Clip {
  id: string;
  startTime: number;
  endTime: number;
  label: string;
  color: string;
}

let clips = $state<Clip[]>([]);
let selectedClipId = $state<string | null>(null);
let pendingInPoint = $state<number | null>(null);
let nextClipNumber = $state(1);

export function getClips(): Clip[] {
  return clips;
}

export function getSelectedClipId(): string | null {
  return selectedClipId;
}

export function getPendingInPoint(): number | null {
  return pendingInPoint;
}

export function selectClip(id: string | null) {
  selectedClipId = id;
  pendingInPoint = null;
}

export function addClip(startTime: number, endTime: number): Clip {
  const start = Math.min(startTime, endTime);
  const end = Math.max(startTime, endTime);

  const clip: Clip = {
    id: crypto.randomUUID(),
    startTime: start,
    endTime: end,
    label: `Clip ${nextClipNumber}`,
    color: getClipColor(nextClipNumber - 1),
  };
  nextClipNumber++;
  clips = [...clips, clip];
  selectedClipId = clip.id;
  return clip;
}

export function removeClip(id: string) {
  clips = clips.filter((c) => c.id !== id);
  if (selectedClipId === id) {
    selectedClipId = null;
  }
}

export function updateClip(id: string, changes: Partial<Pick<Clip, 'startTime' | 'endTime' | 'label'>>) {
  clips = clips.map((c) => {
    if (c.id !== id) return c;
    const updated = { ...c, ...changes };
    if (updated.startTime > updated.endTime) {
      [updated.startTime, updated.endTime] = [updated.endTime, updated.startTime];
    }
    return updated;
  });
}

export function markInPoint(time: number) {
  if (selectedClipId) {
    updateClip(selectedClipId, { startTime: time });
  } else {
    pendingInPoint = time;
  }
}

export function markOutPoint(time: number) {
  if (selectedClipId) {
    updateClip(selectedClipId, { endTime: time });
  } else if (pendingInPoint !== null) {
    addClip(pendingInPoint, time);
    pendingInPoint = null;
  }
}

export function clearAll() {
  clips = [];
  selectedClipId = null;
  pendingInPoint = null;
  nextClipNumber = 1;
}
  • Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass
npx vitest run tests/lib/stores/clips.test.ts

Expected: all tests PASS. (Note: if Svelte 5 runes don't work in vitest without a preprocessor, you may need to add @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte to the vitest config's plugins. This should already be handled by the vite.config.ts from Task 1.)

  • Step 5: Implement clip renderer for the Canvas

Create src/lib/timeline/clipRenderer.ts:

import type { Clip } from '$lib/stores/clips.svelte';
import { timeToX, type TimelineState } from './renderer';

const CLIP_LANE_Y = 90; // below thumbnails (50) + waveform (40)
const CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT = 30;
const HANDLE_WIDTH = 6;

export function drawClips(
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D,
  state: TimelineState,
  clips: Clip[],
  selectedId: string | null,
  pendingInPoint: number | null
): void {
  for (const clip of clips) {
    const x1 = timeToX(clip.startTime, state);
    const x2 = timeToX(clip.endTime, state);
    const isSelected = clip.id === selectedId;

    // Clip region
    ctx.fillStyle = clip.color + '66'; // 40% opacity
    ctx.fillRect(x1, CLIP_LANE_Y, x2 - x1, CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT);

    // Border
    ctx.strokeStyle = isSelected ? '#ffffff' : clip.color;
    ctx.lineWidth = isSelected ? 2 : 1;
    ctx.strokeRect(x1, CLIP_LANE_Y, x2 - x1, CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT);
    ctx.lineWidth = 1;

    // Handles
    ctx.fillStyle = isSelected ? '#ffffff' : clip.color;
    ctx.fillRect(x1 - HANDLE_WIDTH / 2, CLIP_LANE_Y, HANDLE_WIDTH, CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT);
    ctx.fillRect(x2 - HANDLE_WIDTH / 2, CLIP_LANE_Y, HANDLE_WIDTH, CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT);

    // Label
    const labelWidth = x2 - x1;
    if (labelWidth > 40) {
      ctx.fillStyle = '#ffffff';
      ctx.font = '11px -apple-system, sans-serif';
      ctx.textAlign = 'center';
      ctx.fillText(clip.label, (x1 + x2) / 2, CLIP_LANE_Y + CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT / 2 + 4, labelWidth - 10);
    }
  }

  // Pending in-point marker
  if (pendingInPoint !== null) {
    const x = timeToX(pendingInPoint, state);
    ctx.strokeStyle = '#f9e2af';
    ctx.lineWidth = 2;
    ctx.setLineDash([4, 4]);
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(x, CLIP_LANE_Y);
    ctx.lineTo(x, CLIP_LANE_Y + CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT);
    ctx.stroke();
    ctx.setLineDash([]);
    ctx.lineWidth = 1;
  }
}

export interface ClipHitResult {
  clipId: string;
  edge: 'start' | 'end' | 'body';
}

export function hitTestClip(
  x: number,
  y: number,
  state: TimelineState,
  clips: Clip[]
): ClipHitResult | null {
  if (y < CLIP_LANE_Y || y > CLIP_LANE_Y + CLIP_LANE_HEIGHT) {
    return null;
  }

  for (const clip of [...clips].reverse()) {
    const x1 = timeToX(clip.startTime, state);
    const x2 = timeToX(clip.endTime, state);

    if (Math.abs(x - x1) <= HANDLE_WIDTH) {
      return { clipId: clip.id, edge: 'start' };
    }
    if (Math.abs(x - x2) <= HANDLE_WIDTH) {
      return { clipId: clip.id, edge: 'end' };
    }
    if (x >= x1 && x <= x2) {
      return { clipId: clip.id, edge: 'body' };
    }
  }

  return null;
}
  • Step 6: Wire clip rendering into Timeline.svelte and renderer.ts

Update src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts — add a drawClips import parameter to drawTimeline:

Add to the drawTimeline function signature and call drawClips:

import { drawClips } from './clipRenderer';
import type { Clip } from '$lib/stores/clips.svelte';

// Add to drawTimeline parameters:
export function drawTimeline(
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D,
  state: TimelineState,
  currentTime: number,
  duration: number,
  clips: Clip[] = [],
  selectedClipId: string | null = null,
  pendingInPoint: number | null = null
): void {
  // ... existing code ...

  // After placeholder lanes, before playhead:
  drawClips(ctx, state, clips, selectedClipId, pendingInPoint);

  // Draw playhead (last, so it's on top)
  drawPlayhead(ctx, state, currentTime);
}

Update src/lib/components/Timeline.svelte to pass clip data to the draw function and handle clip handle dragging. Add imports and wire up the clip store:

<script lang="ts">
  import {
    currentTime,
    duration,
  } from '$lib/stores/videoSession.svelte';
  import {
    getClips,
    getSelectedClipId,

    selectClip,
    updateClip,
  } from '$lib/stores/clips.svelte';
  import {
    drawTimeline,
    type TimelineState,
  } from '$lib/timeline/renderer';
  import {
    computeZoom,
    handleClick as computeClickTime,
  } from '$lib/timeline/interactions';
  import { hitTestClip, type ClipHitResult } from '$lib/timeline/clipRenderer';

  // ... keep existing canvas/container/state declarations ...

  let dragTarget = $state<ClipHitResult | null>(null);

  // In the draw function, pass clips:
  // drawTimeline(ctx, timelineState, currentTime, duration, getClips(), getSelectedClipId(), getPendingInPoint());

  // In handleMouseDown, check for clip handle hits first:
  function handleMouseDown(e: MouseEvent) {
    const x = getCanvasX(e);
    const y = getCanvasY(e);

    const hit = hitTestClip(x, y, timelineState, getClips());
    if (hit) {
      if (hit.edge === 'body') {
        selectClip(hit.clipId);
      } else {
        dragTarget = hit;
        selectClip(hit.clipId);
      }
      isDragging = true;
      return;
    }

    isDragging = true;
    const targetTime = computeClickTime(x, timelineState, duration);
    seekTo(targetTime);
  }

  function handleMouseMove(e: MouseEvent) {
    if (!isDragging) return;
    const x = getCanvasX(e);

    if (dragTarget) {
      const time = computeClickTime(x, timelineState, duration);
      if (dragTarget.edge === 'start') {
        updateClip(dragTarget.clipId, { startTime: time });
      } else if (dragTarget.edge === 'end') {
        updateClip(dragTarget.clipId, { endTime: time });
      }
      return;
    }

    const targetTime = computeClickTime(x, timelineState, duration);
    seekTo(targetTime);
  }

  function handleMouseUp() {
    isDragging = false;
    dragTarget = null;
  }

  function getCanvasY(e: MouseEvent): number {
    if (!canvas) return 0;
    const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
    return e.clientY - rect.top;

  • Step 3: Verify all shortcuts work
cargo tauri dev

Load a video. Test each shortcut: Space (play/pause), I/O (mark clips), comma/period (frame step), arrows (seek), Shift+comma/period (keyframe jump — disabled until download completes), Delete (remove selected clip), J/K/L (shuttle).

  • Step 4: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add transport controls and keyboard shortcuts"

Task 9: Keyframe Index & Frame Navigation

Files:

  • Modify: src-tauri/src/services/keyframe_index.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/lib.rs (register command)
  • Modify: src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts
  • Modify: src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts (auto-trigger after download)

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: localFilePath from videoSession store

  • Produces:

    • Tauri command extract_keyframes(file_path: String) -> Result<Vec<f64>, String>
    • TypeScript extractKeyframes(filePath: string): Promise<number[]>
    • keyframePositions populated in the store after download
  • Step 1: Write Rust tests for ffprobe output parsing

Write src-tauri/src/services/keyframe_index.rs:

use std::process::Command;

pub fn parse_ffprobe_output(output: &str) -> Vec<f64> {
    output
        .lines()
        .filter_map(|line| {

            // Format: media_type,pts_time,flags
            // We want lines where flags contain 'K' (keyframe)
            if parts.len() >= 3 && parts[2].contains('K') {

    if !output.status.success() {
        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stderr);
        return Err(format!("ffprobe failed: {stderr}"));
    }

    let stdout = String::from_utf8_lossy(&output.stdout);
    let mut positions = parse_ffprobe_output(&stdout);
    positions.sort_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap_or(std::cmp::Ordering::Equal));
    Ok(positions)
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {

    }
}
  • Step 2: Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::keyframe_index -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Write Tauri command and TypeScript binding

Add to src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs:

use crate::services::keyframe_index;

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn extract_keyframes(file_path: String) -> Result<Vec<f64>, String> {
    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || keyframe_index::extract_keyframes(&file_path))
        .await
        .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

Register in lib.rs:

use commands::{dependencies, media_analysis, video};

.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![
    dependencies::check_dependencies,
    dependencies::install_dependency,
    video::resolve_url,
    video::start_download,
    media_analysis::extract_keyframes,
])

Add to src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts:

import { invoke } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';

export interface ThumbnailSpritesheet {
  filePath: string;
  startIndex: number;
  count: number;
  thumbWidth: number;
  thumbHeight: number;
  columns: number;
  intervalSeconds: number;
}

export async function extractKeyframes(filePath: string): Promise<number[]> {
  return invoke<number[]>('extract_keyframes', { filePath });
}
  • Step 4: Auto-trigger keyframe extraction after download

Update src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts — in the beginDownload function, after the download finishes trigger keyframe extraction:

import { extractKeyframes } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';

// Add to the onFinished callback inside beginDownload:
(success, path) => {
  if (success) {
    downloadProgress = 1.0;
    localFilePath = path;
    // Trigger post-download processing
    triggerPostDownloadProcessing(path);
  }
}

async function triggerPostDownloadProcessing(filePath: string) {
  try {
    keyframePositions = await extractKeyframes(filePath);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Keyframe extraction failed:', e);
  }
  // Waveform and thumbnails will be added in Tasks 10 and 11
}
  • Step 5: Verify keyframe navigation works
cargo tauri dev

Load a video, wait for download to complete. Expected: After download, keyframe jump buttons become enabled. Shift+comma/Shift+period jumps to the nearest keyframe.

  • Step 6: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add keyframe index extraction and frame/keyframe navigation"

Task 10: Waveform Generation & Display

    • drawWaveform(ctx, state, peaks, y, height) — renders waveform on canvas
    • waveformPeaks populated in store after download
  • Step 1: Write Rust waveform extraction with tests

    }
}
  • Step 2: Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::waveform_generator -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Add Tauri command and binding

Add to src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs:

use crate::services::{keyframe_index, waveform_generator};

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn extract_waveform(
    file_path: String,
    sample_count: usize,
) -> Result<Vec<f64>, String> {
    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || {
        waveform_generator::extract_waveform(&file_path, sample_count)
    })
    .await
    .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

Register in lib.rs — add media_analysis::extract_waveform.

Add to src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts:

export async function extractWaveform(
  filePath: string,
  sampleCount: number
): Promise<number[]> {
  return invoke<number[]>('extract_waveform', { filePath, sampleCount });
}
  • Step 4: Create waveform renderer

Create src/lib/timeline/waveformRenderer.ts:

import { timeToX, type TimelineState } from './renderer';

export function drawWaveform(
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D,
  state: TimelineState,
  peaks: number[],
  duration: number,
  y: number,
  height: number
): void {
  if (peaks.length === 0) return;

  const { width, visibleStart, visibleEnd } = state;
  const visibleRange = visibleEnd - visibleStart;

  ctx.fillStyle = '#89b4fa44';
  ctx.strokeStyle = '#89b4fa88';
  ctx.lineWidth = 1;

  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.moveTo(0, y + height);

  for (let px = 0; px < width; px++) {
    const time = visibleStart + (px / width) * visibleRange;
    const sampleIndex = Math.floor((time / duration) * peaks.length);
    const clampedIndex = Math.max(0, Math.min(sampleIndex, peaks.length - 1));

    // Aggregate nearby samples for this pixel
    const startSample = Math.floor(
      ((visibleStart + ((px - 0.5) / width) * visibleRange) / duration) * peaks.length
    );
    const endSample = Math.floor(
      ((visibleStart + ((px + 0.5) / width) * visibleRange) / duration) * peaks.length
    );

    let maxPeak = 0;
    for (let i = Math.max(0, startSample); i <= Math.min(endSample, peaks.length - 1); i++) {
      maxPeak = Math.max(maxPeak, peaks[i]);
    }

    const barHeight = maxPeak * height;
    ctx.lineTo(px, y + height - barHeight);
  }

  ctx.lineTo(width, y + height);
  ctx.closePath();
  ctx.fill();
  ctx.stroke();
}
  • Step 5: Wire waveform into the timeline renderer

Update src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts — replace the waveform placeholder with real rendering when data is available:

import { drawWaveform } from './waveformRenderer';

// Update drawTimeline to accept waveformPeaks parameter and conditionally draw:
export function drawTimeline(
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D,
  state: TimelineState,
  currentTime: number,
  duration: number,
  clips: Clip[] = [],
  selectedClipId: string | null = null,
  pendingInPoint: number | null = null,
  waveformPeaks: number[] = [],
  thumbnailSpritesheets: any[] = []  // Will be typed in Task 11
): void {
  // ... existing clear + background ...

  drawTimeTicks(ctx, state, duration);

  // Thumbnail lane
  drawPlaceholderLane(ctx, state, 0, THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT, 'Thumbnails');

  // Waveform lane
  if (waveformPeaks.length > 0) {
    drawWaveform(ctx, state, waveformPeaks, duration, THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT, WAVEFORM_LANE_HEIGHT);
  } else {
    drawPlaceholderLane(ctx, state, THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT, WAVEFORM_LANE_HEIGHT, 'Waveform');
  }

  // Clips
  drawClips(ctx, state, clips, selectedClipId, pendingInPoint);

  // Playhead
  drawPlayhead(ctx, state, currentTime);
}
  • Step 6: Trigger waveform extraction after download

Update triggerPostDownloadProcessing in src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts:

import { extractKeyframes, extractWaveform } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';

async function triggerPostDownloadProcessing(filePath: string) {
  // Run keyframe extraction and waveform in parallel
  const [keyframes, waveform] = await Promise.allSettled([
    extractKeyframes(filePath),
    extractWaveform(filePath, 8000),
  ]);

  if (keyframes.status === 'fulfilled') {
    keyframePositions = keyframes.value;
  } else {
    console.error('Keyframe extraction failed:', keyframes.reason);
  }

  if (waveform.status === 'fulfilled') {
    waveformPeaks = waveform.value;
  } else {
    console.error('Waveform extraction failed:', waveform.reason);
  }

  // Thumbnails will be added in Task 11
}
  • Step 7: Verify waveform appears after download
cargo tauri dev

Load a video, wait for download to complete. Expected: After download, the "Generating Waveform…" placeholder is replaced by a real blue waveform visualization. Zooming in shows more detail.

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add waveform generation and timeline display"

Task 11: Thumbnail Extraction & Display

Files:

  • Modify: src-tauri/src/services/thumbnail_extractor.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs
  • Modify: src-tauri/src/lib.rs (register command)
  • Modify: src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts
  • Create: src/lib/timeline/thumbnailRenderer.ts
  • Modify: src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts (draw thumbnail layer)
  • Modify: src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts (trigger after download)

Interfaces:

  • Consumes: localFilePath, duration from videoSession store, TimelineState from renderer, ThumbnailSpritesheet type

  • Produces:

    • Tauri command extract_thumbnails(file_path, duration, temp_dir) -> Result<Vec<ThumbnailSpritesheet>, String>
    • drawThumbnails(ctx, state, spritesheets, duration, y, height, loadedImages) — renders thumbnail strip
    • thumbnailSpritesheets populated in store after download
  • Step 1: Write Rust thumbnail extraction with tests

Write src-tauri/src/services/thumbnail_extractor.rs:

use crate::models::ThumbnailSpritesheet;
use std::path::Path;
use std::process::Command;

pub fn compute_interval(duration: f64) -> f64 {
    if duration < 600.0 {
        1.0
    } else if duration < 3600.0 {
        2.0
    } else {
        5.0
    }
}

pub fn extract_thumbnails(

    // Extract individual frames first
    let frames_pattern = format!("{}/frame_%06d.jpg", output_dir);
    let status = Command::new("ffmpeg")
        .args([
            "-i", file_path,
            "-vf", &format!("fps=1/{interval},scale={thumb_width}:{thumb_height}"),
            "-q:v", "5",
            &frames_pattern,
        ])
        .output()
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to extract thumbnails: {e}"))?;

    if !status.status.success() {
        let stderr = String::from_utf8_lossy(&status.stderr);
        return Err(format!("Thumbnail extraction failed: {stderr}"));
    }

    // Count actual extracted frames
    let actual_frames = std::fs::read_dir(output_dir)
        .map_err(|e| format!("Failed to read thumbnail dir: {e}"))?
        .filter_map(|e| e.ok())
        .filter(|e| {
            e.path()
                .file_name()
                .map(|n| n.to_string_lossy().starts_with("frame_"))
                .unwrap_or(false)
        })
        .count();

    // Build sprite sheet metadata (individual frames for now)
    // A production version would combine into actual sprite sheets
    let mut sheets = Vec::new();
    let mut frame_index = 0;

    while frame_index < actual_frames {
        let count = std::cmp::min(frames_per_sheet, actual_frames - frame_index);
        sheets.push(ThumbnailSpritesheet {
            file_path: output_dir.to_string(),
            start_index: frame_index,
            count,
            thumb_width,
            thumb_height,
            columns,
            interval_seconds: interval,
        });
        frame_index += count;
    }

    Ok(sheets)
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_compute_interval_short_video() {
        assert!((compute_interval(120.0) - 1.0).abs() < 0.001);
    }

    #[test]

    fn test_compute_interval_long_video() {
        assert!((compute_interval(7200.0) - 5.0).abs() < 0.001);
    }
}
  • Step 2: Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test services::thumbnail_extractor -- --nocapture

Expected: all tests PASS.

  • Step 3: Add Tauri command and TypeScript binding

Add to src-tauri/src/commands/media_analysis.rs:

use crate::services::{keyframe_index, thumbnail_extractor, waveform_generator};
use crate::models::ThumbnailSpritesheet;

#[tauri::command]
pub async fn extract_thumbnails(
    file_path: String,
    duration: f64,
) -> Result<Vec<ThumbnailSpritesheet>, String> {
    tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || {
        let temp_dir = std::env::temp_dir()
            .join("video-clipper-thumbs")
            .join(uuid::Uuid::new_v4().to_string());
        let temp_dir_str = temp_dir.to_string_lossy().to_string();
        thumbnail_extractor::extract_thumbnails(&file_path, duration, &temp_dir_str)
    })
    .await
    .map_err(|e| format!("Task failed: {e}"))?
}

Register in lib.rs.

Add to src/lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis.ts:

export async function extractThumbnails(
  filePath: string,
  duration: number
): Promise<ThumbnailSpritesheet[]> {
  return invoke<ThumbnailSpritesheet[]>('extract_thumbnails', {
    filePath,
    duration,
  });
}
  • Step 4: Create thumbnail renderer

Create src/lib/timeline/thumbnailRenderer.ts:

import { timeToX, xToTime, type TimelineState } from './renderer';
import type { ThumbnailSpritesheet } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';
import { convertFileSrc } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';

const imageCache = new Map<string, HTMLImageElement>();

function getImagePath(dir: string, frameIndex: number): string {
  const paddedIndex = String(frameIndex + 1).padStart(6, '0');
  return `${dir}/frame_${paddedIndex}.jpg`;
}

function loadImage(path: string): HTMLImageElement | null {
  if (imageCache.has(path)) {
    return imageCache.get(path)!;
  }

  const img = new Image();
  img.src = convertFileSrc(path);
  img.onload = () => imageCache.set(path, img);
  imageCache.set(path, img); // Store immediately (may not be loaded yet)
  return null; // Return null until loaded
}

export function drawThumbnails(
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D,
  state: TimelineState,
  spritesheets: ThumbnailSpritesheet[],
  duration: number,
  y: number,
  height: number
): void {
  if (spritesheets.length === 0) return;

  const sheet = spritesheets[0]; // Use first sheet's interval
  const interval = sheet.intervalSeconds;
  const thumbWidth = Math.max(
    height * (sheet.thumbWidth / sheet.thumbHeight),
    20
  );

  // Calculate how many thumbnails fit at ~100px spacing
  const targetSpacing = 100;
  const step = Math.max(1, Math.round(targetSpacing / thumbWidth));

  const startTime = state.visibleStart;
  const endTime = state.visibleEnd;

  const startFrame = Math.floor(startTime / interval);
  const endFrame = Math.ceil(endTime / interval);

  for (let fi = startFrame; fi <= endFrame; fi += step) {
    const time = fi * interval;
    if (time < 0 || time > duration) continue;

    const x = timeToX(time, state);
    if (x < -thumbWidth || x > state.width + thumbWidth) continue;

    // Find which spritesheet contains this frame
    let globalIndex = fi;
    let foundSheet: ThumbnailSpritesheet | null = null;
    for (const s of spritesheets) {
      if (globalIndex >= s.startIndex && globalIndex < s.startIndex + s.count) {
        foundSheet = s;
        break;
      }
    }

    if (!foundSheet) continue;

    const localIndex = globalIndex - foundSheet.startIndex;
    const imgPath = getImagePath(foundSheet.filePath, globalIndex);
    const img = imageCache.get(imgPath);

    if (img && img.complete && img.naturalWidth > 0) {
      ctx.drawImage(img, x - thumbWidth / 2, y, thumbWidth, height);
    } else {
      // Draw placeholder
      ctx.fillStyle = '#353550';
      ctx.fillRect(x - thumbWidth / 2, y, thumbWidth, height);
      // Trigger load
      loadImage(imgPath);
    }

    // Thin border between thumbnails
    ctx.strokeStyle = '#45475a';
    ctx.strokeRect(x - thumbWidth / 2, y, thumbWidth, height);
  }
}
  • Step 5: Wire thumbnails into timeline renderer

Update src/lib/timeline/renderer.ts — replace the thumbnail placeholder when data is available:

import { drawThumbnails } from './thumbnailRenderer';
import type { ThumbnailSpritesheet } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';

// In drawTimeline, replace thumbnail placeholder:
if (thumbnailSpritesheets.length > 0) {
  drawThumbnails(ctx, state, thumbnailSpritesheets, duration, 0, THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT);
} else {
  drawPlaceholderLane(ctx, state, 0, THUMB_LANE_HEIGHT, 'Thumbnails');
}
  • Step 6: Trigger thumbnail extraction after download

Update triggerPostDownloadProcessing in src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts:

import { extractKeyframes, extractWaveform, extractThumbnails } from '$lib/bindings/mediaAnalysis';

async function triggerPostDownloadProcessing(filePath: string) {
  const [keyframes, waveform, thumbnails] = await Promise.allSettled([
    extractKeyframes(filePath),
    extractWaveform(filePath, 8000),
    extractThumbnails(filePath, duration),
  ]);

  if (keyframes.status === 'fulfilled') {
    keyframePositions = keyframes.value;
  } else {
    console.error('Keyframe extraction failed:', keyframes.reason);
  }

  if (waveform.status === 'fulfilled') {
    waveformPeaks = waveform.value;
  } else {
    console.error('Waveform extraction failed:', waveform.reason);
  }

  if (thumbnails.status === 'fulfilled') {
    thumbnailSpritesheets = thumbnails.value;
  } else {
    console.error('Thumbnail extraction failed:', thumbnails.reason);
  }
}
  • Step 7: Verify thumbnails appear after download
cargo tauri dev

Load a video, wait for download + processing. Expected: Thumbnail strip at the top of the timeline populates with video frames. Zooming in shows more frames at closer intervals.

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add thumbnail extraction and timeline display"

Register in lib.rs:

use commands::{dependencies, export, media_analysis, video};

.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![
    dependencies::check_dependencies,
    dependencies::install_dependency,
    video::resolve_url,

    media_analysis::extract_keyframes,
    media_analysis::extract_waveform,
    media_analysis::extract_thumbnails,
    export::export_clips,
])
  • Step 4: Write TypeScript bindings

Create src/lib/bindings/export.ts:

import { invoke, Channel } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';

export interface ExportConfig {
  clips: Array<{
    id: string;
    startTime: number;
    endTime: number;
    label: string;
    color: string;
  }>;
  cutMode: { mode: 'lossless' } | { mode: 'precise'; format: string };
  exportScope: { scope: 'individual' } | { scope: 'merged' };
  outputDirectory: string;
  videoTitle: string;
  sourceFilePath: string;
}

type ExportEvent =
  | { event: 'progress'; data: { current: number; total: number; label: string } }
  | { event: 'finished'; data: { paths: string[] } }
  | { event: 'error'; data: { message: string } };

export async function exportClips(
  config: ExportConfig,
  onProgress: (current: number, total: number, label: string) => void,
  onFinished: (paths: string[]) => void,
  onError: (message: string) => void
): Promise<void> {
  const onEvent = new Channel<ExportEvent>();
  onEvent.onmessage = (message) => {
    switch (message.event) {
      case 'progress':
        onProgress(message.data.current, message.data.total, message.data.label);
        break;
      case 'finished':
        onFinished(message.data.paths);
        break;
      case 'error':
        onError(message.data.message);
        break;
      default: {
        const _exhaustive: never = message;
        throw new Error(`Unhandled export event: ${(_exhaustive as ExportEvent).event}`);
      }
    }
  };
  await invoke('export_clips', { config, onEvent });
}
  • Step 5: Implement ExportDialog component

Create src/lib/components/ExportDialog.svelte:

<script lang="ts">

  import { outputDirectory, setOutputDirectory } from '$lib/stores/preferences.svelte';

  let { onClose }: { onClose: () => void } = $props();

  let clipScope = $state<'selected' | 'all'>('all');
  let exportScope = $state<'individual' | 'merged'>('individual');
  let cutMode = $state<'lossless' | 'precise'>('lossless');
  let preciseFormat = $state('mp4');
  let isExporting = $state(false);
  let exportProgress = $state('');
  let exportError = $state<string | null>(null);
  let exportedPaths = $state<string[]>([]);

  let clips = $derived(getClips());
  let selectedId = $derived(getSelectedClipId());
  let isDownloadComplete = $derived(downloadProgress >= 1 && localFilePath !== null);
  let downloadPercent = $derived(Math.round(downloadProgress * 100));

  let clipsToExport = $derived(
    clipScope === 'selected' && selectedId
      ? clips.filter((c) => c.id === selectedId)
      : clips
  );

  async function pickOutputDir() {
    const selected = await open({
      directory: true,
      defaultPath: outputDirectory,
      title: 'Choose export directory',
    });
    if (selected) {
      await setOutputDirectory(selected as string);
    }
  }

  async function handleExport() {
    if (!localFilePath || clipsToExport.length === 0) return;

    isExporting = true;
    exportError = null;
    exportedPaths = [];

    const config: ExportConfig = {
      clips: clipsToExport.map((c) => ({
        id: c.id,
        startTime: c.startTime,
        endTime: c.endTime,
        label: c.label,
        color: c.color,
      })),
      cutMode:
        cutMode === 'lossless'
          ? { mode: 'lossless' }
          : { mode: 'precise', format: preciseFormat },
      exportScope:
        exportScope === 'individual'
          ? { scope: 'individual' }
          : { scope: 'merged' },
      outputDirectory,
      videoTitle: title,
      sourceFilePath: localFilePath,
    };

    await exportClips(
      config,
      (current, total, label) => {
        exportProgress = `Exporting ${current}/${total}: ${label}`;
      },
      (paths) => {
        exportedPaths = paths;
        isExporting = false;
      },
      (message) => {

  • Step 6: Wire ExportDialog into App.svelte

Add to src/App.svelte:

<script lang="ts">
  import ExportDialog from '$lib/components/ExportDialog.svelte';
  // ... existing imports ...
</script>

<!-- Add alongside other modals: -->
{#if showExportDialog}
  <ExportDialog onClose={() => (showExportDialog = false)} />
{/if}

Also add export buttons to the ClipList component — update src/lib/components/ClipList.svelte bottom section:

{#if clips.length > 0}
  <div class="export-buttons">
    <button onclick={() => { /* emit export event */ }}>Export All</button>
  </div>
{/if}

(The Cmd+E shortcut was already wired in Task 8.)

  • Step 7: Verify full export pipeline
cargo tauri dev

Load a video, wait for download, mark some clips, press Cmd+E. Expected: Export dialog opens. Choose lossless/individual, click Export. Files appear in the output directory. Test merged export and precise export as well.

  • Step 8: Commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add clip export with lossless/precise modes and export dialog"

Thumbnail strip (adaptive) Task 11
Export: lossless/precise/merged/individual Task 12
Filename collision avoidance Task 12
Output directory persistence Task 3
Edge: stream URL expiry Not explicitly in a task — add a note
Edge: download not complete on export Task 12 (dialog handles it)
Edge: waveform/thumb generation fails Tasks 10, 11 (Promise.allSettled + console.error)

Gap found: Stream URL re-resolution on playback error is not covered. This is an edge case that should be handled in the VideoPlayer component. Adding a note:

Note for implementer (Task 4): In VideoPlayer.svelte, add an onerror handler on the <video> element that detects playback failure (e.g., 403 from expired stream URL), calls resolveUrl again to get a fresh stream URL, and resumes playback at the same currentTime. This handles the "stream URL expires during preview" edge case from the spec.

  • All code steps include actual code.
  • All test steps include actual test code with assertions.
  • All commands include expected output descriptions.

Type Consistency Check

  • VideoMetadata — consistent across Rust (models.rs) and TypeScript (video.ts)
  • Clip — Rust uses start_time/end_time, serde converts to startTime/endTime for TS ✓
  • CookieSource — consistent between Rust (tagged enum) and TypeScript (discriminated union) ✓
  • ThumbnailSpritesheet — consistent across Rust and TypeScript ✓
  • TimelineState — used consistently in renderer, interactions, and component ✓
  • ExportConfig — Rust and TypeScript both use same structure with serde rename ✓
  • DependencyStatus — consistent ✓
