Add layout helpers for placing an image or video frame in a box.

Fit::{Cover, Contain, Fill, None, ScaleDown} maps a source size into a destination Rect and returns a Placement (x, y, width, height, plus clip for overflow). PanZoom animates a cover crop: zoom is relative to Cover (1.0 fills the box), focus is a 0–1 point in the source mapped to the centre of the destination, and the crop is clamped so the box stays covered.

let dest = Rect::from_size(1920.0, 1080.0);
let placed = Fit::Cover.place(photo.metadata.width as f32, photo.metadata.height as f32, dest);

let t = frame.animate(&fframes::timeline!(
    at 0.0 => 4.0, animate 0.0_f32 => 1.0, Easing::EaseInOut,
));
let moving = PanZoom::new()
    .zoom(1.0, 1.35)
    .focus((0.4, 0.5), (0.65, 0.4))
    .place(src_w, src_h, dest, t);

Draw with x/y/width/height on <image>. When Cover or pan-zoom overflows, clip to placed.clip.

Walkthrough

This change adds fit and animated pan/zoom placement APIs for clips. It calculates placement from decoded frame dimensions and clip progress. The Teej podcast example uses the placements to position its camera images.

Changes: Clip fit and pan/zoom placement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fit and pan/zoom geometry
fframes/src/fit.rs, fframes/src/lib.rs
Adds Fit, Placement, FocalPoint, and PanZoom, including placement calculations and crate-root exports.
Clip placement API
fframes/src/clip.rs, fframes/src/video_data.rs, AGENTS.md, skills/fframes-video/references/api.md
Adds clip fit and pan/zoom configuration and placement. Placement uses decoded frame dimensions and clip progress. Fallback frame dimensions now come from fallback image metadata.
Podcast camera rendering
examples/teej-podcast/src/constants.rs, examples/teej-podcast/src/teej_podcast.rs
Defines camera destination rectangles and uses clip placements or cover-fitted poster images to position both camera images.

The placement example needs a defined clip path, and looping animations can drift out of sync. These issues are bounded and do not block rendering.

please remove the tests and instead add an example that is extensively using your new feature and add it to e2e tests

or even better use it in one of our existing examples and add that frame to testing we have a bunch of clipped rectangles

leave the test only and only if you actually know what you are testing

Done in 7aa6033. The layout unit tests are gone.

Instead the marketing example uses it: the code screenshot now sits in a rounded, clipped window, and PanZoom moves the crop from the whole screenshot to a 1.6x zoom on the top-left code while it is on screen. scripts/e2e.mjs gets a new marketing frame at 8.5s, where the crop is zoomed and cut off by the window, with its snapshot in e2e/snapshots/marketing/8.5s.png.

Locally the cpu, skia-cpu and gpu renderers all match the new snapshot (at most 0.001% of pixels differ), and the existing 3s, 10s and 18s marketing snapshots still match, since the screenshot is off screen in those frames. The marketing svgr snapshots changed only where the screenshot is drawn.

A zoom below 1.0 made the drawing smaller than the destination on at
least one axis, and clamp_axis then centred it and left part of the
destination uncovered. Treat zoom below 1.0 as 1.0, as the cover crop is
documented to fill the destination.
…t tests

The marketing example now shows the code screenshot in a rounded,
clipped window and pans and zooms across it with PanZoom while it is on
screen. Its 8.5s frame, where the crop is zoomed and cut by the window,
is added to the e2e frames with a new snapshot. The layout unit tests
are removed.

The svgr snapshots of the marketing example change only where the
screenshot is drawn.

Merged main (14d04ab). The only conflict was lib.rs, where main added the Lottie and wgpu exports next to layout, and both are kept.

Document at least the parameter semantics for zoom (values below 1.0 are treated as 1.0) and for focus (0–1 source coordinates, clamped). Document that Rect::is_empty also treats zero-size rectangles as empty.

I am sorry for long review. I made a new primitive for external videos with customizations called Clip I think it makes sense on the cilp level. Would you be interested in updating your PR?

@mvanhorn

Yes, happy to update it. Clip is a better home for this.

I'd add .fit(Fit) and .pan_zoom(PanZoom) builders on Clip, plus a Clip::place(&frame, ctx, dest) that returns the Placement using the decoded frame's own size, so callers stop passing src_w/src_h. For a clip with an end, the pan-zoom t would come from the clip's own progress instead of a separate timeline. layout.rs stays as the math underneath.

I'd also move the demo from marketing to teej-podcast, which already draws two Clips inside clipped rects with a hand-set x and is in the e2e list.

One question: should Fit and PanZoom stay public so stills can use them, or only be reachable through Clip?

@dmtrKovalenko

I think either way is fine, cause clips also can draw stills

Thanks. I'll keep Fit and PanZoom public, so stills can use them directly and Clip builds on them.

I'll push an update to this PR that adds .fit(Fit), .pan_zoom(PanZoom) and Clip::place(&frame, ctx, dest), and moves the demo from marketing to teej-podcast.

Add `.fit(Fit)`, `.pan_zoom(PanZoom)` and `Clip::place(&frame, ctx, dest)`,
which returns the `Placement` from the decoded frame's own size, so
callers stop passing the source size. A pan-zoom follows the clip's own
progress, on every loop of a looping clip. `Fit` and `PanZoom` stay
public, so stills can use them directly.

Move the demo from `marketing` to `teej-podcast`: the left camera uses
`.fit(Fit::Cover)` and the right one a slow pan-zoom, replacing their
hand-set `x`. The teej-podcast snapshots cover both, and `marketing` is
back to what main has.

Pushed in b81204c, with main merged in first.

Clip now has .fit(Fit) and .pan_zoom(PanZoom), and Clip::place(&frame, ctx, dest) returns the Placement from the decoded frame's own size. A pan-zoom runs from t = 0 on the clip's first frame to t = 1 on its last, and restarts on each loop of a looping clip. For a clip with no end, it takes the length from the file's metadata. If both are set, pan_zoom wins. Fit and PanZoom stay public.

The demo moved to teej-podcast: the left camera uses .fit(Fit::Cover) and the right one a slow pan-zoom, replacing the hand-set x values. marketing is back to what main has, and its 8.5s frame and snapshot are gone. I regenerated the two teej-podcast snapshots, because Fit::Cover shows the left camera a bit smaller than the old hand-set width.

Locally, the teej-podcast e2e passes on cpu, skia-cpu and gpu against the new snapshots. cargo fmt --check, clippy on fframes and teej_podcast_example, cargo test -p fframes --lib and just check-wasm teej-podcast pass too. The e2e only covers the no-end clip path, so pan_zoom on a clip with an end has not been rendered yet.

A pair of bare f32 tuples leaves the x and y order to the reader.
PanZoom::focus now takes FocalPoint values, which name them.

It is not called Focus because fframes-three-d already exports that
for camera depth of field.
The name layout is wanted for a possible flex or grid layout later.
The module only places a source inside a box.
Drop fframes' own Rect and re-export the one from usvgr, so a rectangle
can later go to the render engine as it is.

Its constructor is fallible and not const, so Placement::rect returns
an Option and the teej-podcast frames become functions. It cannot be
negative, so the guards for that are gone.
On WASM the frame reported the file's size, while the editor can show a
decoded frame or fallback image with another aspect ratio. Clip::place
then worked out a cover crop for the wrong shape and could leave part
of the destination uncovered.

Outside diff The Clip::place example references a clip path that it never defines.

87-91: Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

The Clip::place example references a clip path that it never defines.

The example sets clip-path="url(#box)" on the <image>, but nothing in the example declares an element with id="box". Because clip has .pan_zoom(...) set and no .fit(...), Clip::place uses the pan-zoom placement. That placement can draw larger than dest, so the image can overflow the box. As written, the example does not clip that overflow to dest. Define the clip path from the returned placement, then reference it. Use the same pattern as the teej-podcast example, where a clipPath contains a rect sized to the destination.
