ClipComposition

A clip's use of a Composition, and how its time maps onto it.

Composition time is offset + (t - clip start) * scale for timeline time t, rounded down to a tick.

TextShadow

A shadow of a text's glyphs and strokes, behind them.

Field	Type	Description

TextStyle

How text looks and where it lies, for caption cues or a text Generator.

The font size is a fraction of the canvas's shorter side, the wrapping width a fraction of the canvas width, and strokes, shadows and padding fractions of the font size. The engine draws with its host's registered fonts, font_family first, then the rest in fallback order.

Painting is bottom to top as in CSS: background boxes, shadows (last listed lowest), strokes (outermost lowest), fill, then color glyphs.

Field	Type	Description
align	TextAlign	How lines align within the text. Default: "center"
anchor	Vec2	The point of the text, background included, placed at position; (0.5, 1) is its bottom centre. Default: {"x":0.5,"y":1}
animators	TextAnimator[]	Per-character motion and color, applied in order, at most MAX_TEXT_ANIMATORS. Keyframes are in the holder's time (since a caption cue's start, or a text generator's picture time). They never change line layout.
background	TextBackground | null	A box behind each line. Default: null
fill	Paint	What paints the glyphs; a color reads as a solid paint. Gradient positions are in the text's layout box, (0, 0) top-left to (1, 1) bottom-right, and a radial radius is a fraction of the box's shorter side. Default solid white. Default: {"color":{"alpha":1,"blue":1,"green":1,"red":1},"type":"s…
font_family	string | null	The family, as the font's name table gives it (typographic family, else family), matched ASCII case-insensitively. Missing glyphs and unknown families fall back to the other fonts in order; None uses the fallback order alone. Non-empty, at most MAX_FONT_FAMILY_BYTES bytes.
font_size	number (float)	Font size as a fraction of the canvas's shorter side: positive, at most MAX_CAPTION_FONT_SIZE on a caption track and MAX_TEXT_GENERATOR_FONT_SIZE in a text generator. Default: 0.05
font_weight	integer (uint16)	The weight in [1, 1000] used to match a family's faces, as CSS Fonts 4 matches font-weight. Variable faces draw at it, clamped to their wght axis; no face is synthetically emboldened. Default: 400
letter_spacing	number (float)	Space after each character, as a fraction of the font size, in [-0.5, 1], added as CSS letter-spacing does: none after a line's last character or within cursive scripts such as Arabic. A non-zero value turns optional ligatures off. Default: 0
line_height	number (float)	Baseline-to-baseline distance in font sizes, in [0.5, 3]. Each line's em box (0.8 font sizes above the baseline, 0.2 below) is centred in a taller line. Default: 1.2
max_width	number (float)	Width text wraps at, as a fraction of the canvas width, in (0, 1]. Default: 0.9
position	Vec2	Where on the canvas the text's anchor lies, (0, 0) top-left to (1, 1) bottom-right. Default: {"x":0.5,"y":0.92}
shadows	TextShadow[]	Shadows of the glyphs and strokes, the first on top, as CSS text-shadow lists them. At most MAX_TEXT_SHADOWS.
strokes	TextStroke[]	Bands around the glyphs, innermost first, each outside the one before. At most MAX_TEXT_STROKES, widths summing to at most MAX_TEXT_STROKE_EXTENT.
