📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Export video synchronization now tracks presented frame duration, recognizes frames that cover target times, re-arms incomplete frame callbacks, and uses completed seek events as fallback evidence. Tests cover frame tracking, playback, reseeking, and failed seek cases. The changelog records these changes.

Changes

Export synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame tracking and callback handling

MDN HTMLVideoElement requestVideoFrameCallback presentedFrames callback every frame dropped frames mediaTime

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The requestVideoFrameCallback method on the HTMLVideoElement interface allows developers to register a callback that executes when a new video frame is sent to the compositor [1][2]. This callback provides a metadata object containing detailed information about the presented frame [3][2]. Key Metadata Properties: mediaTime: A number in seconds representing the media presentation timestamp (PTS) of the frame [1][3]. This value corresponds to the frame&#39;s timestamp on the HTMLMediaElement.currentTime timeline and is the most reliable way to identify frames in a reproducible manner, including identifying specifically which frames were missed [2]. presentedFrames: An unsigned long representing the total number of frames submitted for composition up to the current callback [3][2]. By tracking this value, developers can detect if frames were missed (dropped) between consecutive callback executions [1][2]. Related Dropped Frame Information: While requestVideoFrameCallback helps detect missed frames via the presentedFrames counter, it does not directly report total dropped frames [1][2]. To obtain metrics on dropped or corrupted frames, developers should use the getVideoPlaybackQuality method [4][5]. This method returns a VideoPlaybackQuality object, which includes the droppedVideoFrames property [5]. This property provides an unsigned 64-bit value indicating the number of frames dropped since the media was loaded or reloaded [5]. These frames are typically dropped before or after decoding when the browser determines they cannot be displayed at the correct time [5]. Combining these two APIs allows developers to both observe per-frame timing and track cumulative playback quality statistics [4][5][2].

<title>HTMLVideoElement: requestVideoFrameCallback() method - Web APIs | MDN</title> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLVideoElement/requestVideoFrameCallback The`requestVideoFrameCallback()` method of the HTMLVideoElement interface registers a callback function that runs when a new video frame is sent to the compositor. This enables developers to perform efficient operations on each video frame. ... callback function that runs when a new ... frame is sent to the ... `mediaTime` ... A number, in seconds, representing the media presentation timestamp of the presented frame. This is equal to the frame&`#39`;s timestamp on the HTMLMediaElement.currentTime timeline. ... `presentedFrames` ... A number representing the number of frames submitted for composition so far alongside the current callback. This can be used to detect whether frames were missed between callback instances. ... A number, in seconds, representing the duration between the submission of the encoded packet with the same presentation timestamp as this frame to the decoder (i.e., the`mediaTime`) ... decoded frame being ready for presentation. ... Typical use cases for`requestVideoFrameCallback()` include video processing and painting to a canvas, video analysis, and synchronization with external audio sources. Per-frame processing used to be done in a less efficient or accurate fashion by running operations on the current video display whenever the timeupdate event fired. This technique did not provide access to the actual video frames. ... `requestVideoFrameCallback()` is used in the same way as Window.requestAnimationFrame(). You use it to run a callback function that performs some operation when the next video frame is sent to the compositor. The callback finishes by calling`requestVideoFrameCallback()` again to run the callback when the next video frame is composited, and so on. However,`requestVideoFrameCallback()` is tailored for video operations in several ways: ... - `requestVideoFrameCallback()` provides reliable access to each individual video frame. - `requestAnimationFrame()` tries to match the display refresh rate, which is typically 60Hz.`requestVideoFrameCallback()`, on the other hand, tries to match the video frame rate. More specifically, the callback will run at the lower of the video frame rate and the browser paint refresh rate. For example, a video with a frame rate of 25fps playing in a browser that paints at 60Hz would fire callbacks at a rate of 25Hz. A video with a frame rate of 120fps running in the same 60Hz browser would fire callbacks at 60Hz. ... - `requestVideoFrameCallback()` makes useful video metadata available in the callback function. ... One thing to bear in mind is that`requestVideoFrameCallback()` does not offer any strict guarantees that the output from your callback will remain in sync with the video frame rate. It may end up being fired one vertical synchronization (v-sync) later than when the new video frame was presented. (V-sync is a graphics technology that synchronizes the frame rate of a video with the refresh rate of a monitor.) ... You can compare the`now` callback parameter and the`expectedDisplayTime` metadata property to determine whether your callback is a v-sync late. If`expectedDisplayTime` is within about five to ten microseconds of`now`, the frame is already rendered. If the`expectedDisplayTime` is approximately sixteen milliseconds in the future (assuming your browser/screen is refreshing at 60Hz), then the callback is a v-sync out. <title>Perform efficient per-video-frame operations | Articles | web.dev</title> https://web.dev/articles/requestvideoframecallback-rvfc The `HTMLVideoElement.requestVideoFrameCallback()` method allows web authors to register a callback that runs in the rendering steps when a new video frame is sent to the compositor. This allows developers to perform efficient per-video-frame operations on video, such as video processing and painting to a canvas, video analysis, or synchronization with external audio sources. ... If you use the `requestAnimationFrame()` method, you&`#39`;ll recognize the `requestVideoFrameCallback()` method. Register an initial callback once, and then re-register whenever the callback fires. ... In the callback, `now` is a `DOMHighResTimeStamp` and `metadata` is a `VideoFrameMetadata` dictionary with the following properties: ... - `presentationTime`, of type `DOMHighResTimeStamp`: The time at which the user agent submitted the frame for composition. ... - `mediaTime`, of type `double`: The media presentation timestamp (PTS) in seconds of the frame presented (such as its timestamp on the `video.currentTime` timeline). ... - `presentedFrames`, of type `unsigned long`: A count of the number of frames submitted for composition. Allows clients to determine if frames were missed between instances of `VideoFrameRequestCallback`. ... - `processingDuration`, of type `double`: The elapsed duration in seconds from submission of the encoded packet with the same presentation timestamp (PTS) as this frame (e.g., same as the `mediaTime`) to the decoder until the decoded frame was ready for presentation. ... Of special interest in this list is `mediaTime`. Chromium&`#39`;s implementation uses the audio clock as the time source that backs `video.currentTime`, whereas the `mediaTime` is directly populated by the `presentationTimestamp` of the frame. The `mediaTime` is what you should use if you want to exactly identify frames in a reproducible way, including to identify exactly which frames you missed. ... Vertical synchronization (or just vsync), is a graphics technology that synchron ... a video and the refresh rate ... . Since `requestVideoFrameCallback()` runs on ... main thread, but ... compositor thread, everything from this API is a best effort, and the browser doesn&`#39`;t offer any strict guarantees. ... It&`#39`;s possible the API is one vsync late relative to when a video frame is rendered. It takes one vsync for changes made to the web page through the API to appear on screen (same as `window.requestAnimationFrame()`). So if you keep updating the `mediaTime` or frame number on your web page and compare that against the numbered video frames, eventually the video will look like it&`#39`;s one frame ahead. ... What is really happening is that the frame is ready at vsync x, the callback is fired and the frame is rendered at vsync x+1, and changes made in the callback are rendered at vsync x+2. You can check whether the callback is a vsync late (and the frame is already rendered on screen) by checking whether the `metadata.expectedDisplayTime` is roughly `now` or one vsync in the future. If it is within about five to ten microseconds of `now`, the frame is already rendered; if the `expectedDisplayTime` is approximately sixteen milliseconds in the future (assuming your browser is refreshing at 60Hz), then you are in sync with the frame. ... People have done frame-level processing for a long time—without having access to the actual frames, only based on `video.currentTime`. The `requestVideoFrameCallback()` method greatly improves upon this workaround. <title>files/en-us/web/api/htmlvideoelement/requestvideoframecallback/index.md at main · mdn/content</title> https://github.com/mdn/content/blob/main/files/en-us/web/api/htmlvideoelement/requestvideoframecallback/index.md The **`requestVideoFrameCallback()`** method of the {{domxref("HTMLVideoElement")}} interface registers a callback function that runs when a new video frame is sent to the compositor.

Do not infer source-frame duration from an arbitrary RVFC gap.

playAdvanceVideo uses HTMLVideoElement.requestVideoFrameCallback while playback rate may reach 8. Adjacent callbacks may have non-adjacent mediaTime values. notePresented can use a gap such as 0.00 → 0.08 as _fcFrameDur, so presentedCovers may reuse the frame at 0.00 for a target at 0.04. Record _fcFrameDur only when source-frame adjacency is established, and add a skipped-frame regression test.

It still does not work reliably. Will try to revert to the last working routine.

Queue waiters — waitEncodeQueue, waitPixels, and waitBackpressure now go through waitUntilReady, which settles once. A drain callback plus the poll timer can no longer resolve and then reject.  Fast snapshot — Fast no longer copies the compose OffscreenCanvas onto a second canvas. It uses createImageBitmap(composeCanvas), which snapshots without detaching the compose target. WebCodecs is unchanged (VideoFrame(composeCanvas)).  Taint reset — resetExportCanvases now width-resets exportOffscreen the same way it resets the preview and crop canvases, so a tainted run cannot poison the next one.  Frame hold — frameCovers no longer falls back to 1 µs. It uses the sample-table duration, a nearest PTS within 2 ms if timestamps round, then a plausible VideoFrame.duration, then the clip’s real sample hold (about 1/30 s), never 1 µs.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
