[![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/rustmotion/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/rustmotion)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](LICENSE)

## Install

```bash
cargo install rustmotion
```

**Requirements:** Rust toolchain + C++ compiler (for openh264). Optional: `ffmpeg` CLI for H.265/VP9/ProRes/WebM/GIF output.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Render a video
rustmotion render scenario.json -o video.mp4

# Render with a specific codec
rustmotion render scenario.json -o video.webm --codec vp9 --crf 30

# Export as PNG sequence
rustmotion render scenario.json -o frames/ --format png-seq

# Export as animated GIF
rustmotion render scenario.json -o output.gif --format gif

# Render a single frame for preview
rustmotion render scenario.json --frame 42 -o frame.png

# Validate without rendering
rustmotion validate scenario.json

# Export JSON Schema (for editor autocompletion or LLM prompts)
rustmotion schema -o schema.json

# Show scenario info
rustmotion info scenario.json
```

## CLI Reference

### `rustmotion render`

| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `input` | Path to the JSON scenario file | (required) |
| `-o, --output` | Output file path | `output.mp4` |
| `--frame <N>` | Render a single frame to PNG (0-indexed) | |
| `--codec <CODEC>` | Video codec: `h264`, `h265`, `vp9`, `prores` | `h264` |
| `--crf <0-51>` | Constant Rate Factor (lower = better quality) | `23` |

| `-q, --quiet` | Suppress all output except errors | |

---

## JSON Scenario Format

```json
{
  "version": "1.0",
  "video": { ... },
  "audio": [ ... ],
  "scenes": [ ... ]
}
```

### Video Config

```json
{
  "video": {
    "width": 1080,
    "height": 1920,
    "fps": 30,
    "background": "#0f172a",
    "codec": "h264",
    "crf": 23
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `width` | `u32` | (required) | Video width in pixels (must be even) |
| `height` | `u32` | (required) | Video height in pixels (must be even) |
| `fps` | `u32` | `30` | Frames per second |
| `background` | `string` | `"#000000"` | Default background color (hex) |
| `codec` | `string` | `"h264"` | Video codec: `h264`, `h265`, `vp9`, `prores` |
| `crf` | `u8` | `23` | Constant Rate Factor (0-51, lower = better quality) |

### Audio Tracks

```json
{
  "audio": [
    {
      "src": "music.mp3",
      "start": 0.0,
      "end": 10.0,
      "volume": 0.8,
      "fade_in": 1.0,
      "fade_out": 2.0
    }
  ]
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `src` | `string` | (required) | Path to audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC) |
| `start` | `f64` | `0.0` | Start time in the output video (seconds) |
| `end` | `f64` | | End time (omit for full track) |
| `volume` | `f32` | `1.0` | Volume multiplier (0.0 - 1.0) |
| `fade_in` | `f64` | | Fade-in duration (seconds) |
| `fade_out` | `f64` | | Fade-out duration (seconds) |

---

## Scenes

Each scene is an **implicit flex container** at video dimensions (default direction: `column`). Children participate in flex flow automatically. Use `positioned` container for absolute positioning.

```json
{
  "scenes": [
    {
      "duration": 3.0,
      "background": "#1a1a2e",
      "layout": {
        "direction": "column",
        "align_items": "center",
        "justify_content": "center",
        "gap": 24
      },
      "children": [ ... ],
      "transition": {
        "type": "fade",
        "duration": 0.5
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `duration` | `f64` | (required) | Scene duration in seconds |
| `background` | `string` | | Scene background (overrides `video.background`) |
| `freeze_at` | `f64` | | Freeze the scene at this time (seconds) |
| `children` | `Component[]` | `[]` | Components rendered bottom-to-top |
| `layout` | `object` | | Scene-level flex layout options |
| `transition` | `Transition` | | Transition effect from the previous scene |

**`layout` options:** `direction` (column/row), `gap`, `align_items` (start/center/end/stretch), `justify_content` (start/center/end/space_between/space_around/space_evenly), `padding`

---

## Transitions

Transitions blend between two consecutive scenes. Set on the **second** scene.

```json
{
  "transition": {
    "type": "clock_wipe",
    "duration": 0.8
  }
}
```

| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| `fade` | Linear crossfade between scenes |
| `wipe_left` | Horizontal wipe revealing scene B from the left |
| `wipe_right` | Horizontal wipe revealing scene B from the right |
| `wipe_up` | Vertical wipe revealing scene B from the top |

### Card / Flex

Visual container with CSS-like flex & grid layout. `flex` is an alias for `card`. Each dimension of `size` can be a number or `"auto"`.

**Flex example:**
```json
{
  "type": "card",
  "size": { "width": 800, "height": "auto" },
  "style": {
    "flex-direction": "row",
    "align-items": "center",
    "gap": 16,
    "padding": 24,
    "background": "#1E293B",
    "border-radius": 16,
    "animation": [{ "name": "fade_in_up", "delay": 0.3, "duration": 0.6 }]
  },
  "children": [
    { "type": "icon", "icon": "lucide:check-circle", "size": { "width": 48, "height": 48 }, "style": { "color": "#22C55E" } },
    { "type": "text", "content": "Feature enabled", "style": { "font-size": 32, "color": "#FFFFFF" } }
  ]
}
```

**Grid example (2x2):** Grid containers need an explicit `height` (not `"auto"`) to prevent rows from stretching.
```json
{
  "type": "card",
  "size": { "width": 600, "height": 400 },
  "style": {
    "display": "grid",
    "grid-template-columns": [{ "fr": 1 }, { "fr": 1 }],
    "grid-template-rows": [{ "fr": 1 }, { "fr": 1 }],
    "gap": 16,
    "padding": 24,
    "background": "#1a1a2e"
  },
  "children": [
    { "type": "text", "content": "Cell 1", "style": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
    { "type": "text", "content": "Cell 2", "style": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
    { "type": "text", "content": "Cell 3", "style": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
    { "type": "text", "content": "Cell 4", "style": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } }
  ]
}
```

**11 easing functions:** `linear`, `ease_in`, `ease_out`, `ease_in_out`, `ease_in_quad`, `ease_out_quad`, `ease_in_cubic`, `ease_out_cubic`, `ease_in_expo`, `ease_out_expo`, `spring`

**Spring physics** (when easing is `spring`):
```json
{
  "easing": "spring",
  "spring": { "damping": 15, "stiffness": 100, "mass": 1 }
}
```

### Glow

```json
{
  "style": {
    "animation": [
      { "name": "glow", "color": "#ff00ff", "radius": 20, "intensity": 2.5 }
    ]
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `color` | `string` | `"#FFFFFF"` | Glow color (hex) |
| `radius` | `f32` | `10.0` | Blur radius |
| `intensity` | `f32` | `1.0` | Brightness multiplier |

### Wiggle (Procedural Noise)

Wiggle adds continuous organic movement. Offsets are applied **additively** on top of presets and keyframes.

```json
{
  "style": {
    "animation": [
      { "name": "wiggle", "property": "translate_x", "amplitude": 5, "frequency": 3, "seed": 42 },
      { "name": "wiggle", "property": "rotation", "amplitude": 2, "frequency": 2, "seed": 99, "decay": 0.5 }
    ]
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `property` | `string` | (required) | Property to wiggle (same as animatable properties) |
| `amplitude` | `f64` | (required) | Maximum deviation (pixels for translate, degrees for rotation) |
| `frequency` | `f64` | (required) | Cycles per second (Hz) |
| `mode` | `string` | `"noise"` | `"noise"` (layered simplex) or `"sine"` (pure sine wave) |
| `seed` | `u64` | `0` | Random seed for reproducible results (noise mode only) |
| `octaves` | `u32` | `3` | Noise complexity (noise mode only) |
| `phase` | `f64` | `0.0` | Phase offset |
| `decay` | `f64` | | Exponential decay rate |
| `easing` | `string` | | Remap noise through an easing curve |

### Motion Blur

```json
{
  "style": {
    "animation": [
      { "name": "motion_blur", "intensity": 0.8 }
    ]
  }
}
```

Renders multiple sub-frames and composites them for physically-correct motion blur.

## Architecture

- **Rendering:** skia-safe (same engine as Chrome/Flutter)
- **Video encoding:** openh264 (Cisco BSD, compiled from source) + ffmpeg (optional, for H.265/VP9/ProRes)
- **Audio encoding:** AAC via minimp4
- **SVG rendering:** resvg + usvg
- **Icon rendering:** Iconify API (200k+ icons)
- **GIF decoding/encoding:** gif crate
- **MP4 muxing:** minimp4
- **JSON Schema:** schemars (auto-generated from Rust types)
- **Parallelism:** rayon (multi-threaded frame rendering)
