What

A Clear timeline button in the timeline toolbar. It removes every edit region in one action.

Clears the five edit lanes, on all clips:

  • zoom
  • speed
  • trim
  • annotation
  • Full Camera

Deliberately keeps everything the user added as content rather than as an edit:

  • clips and the media
  • audio layers (imported audio, voiceovers)
  • captions and the transcript (including the pauses added words created)

Behaviour:

  • Icon-only eraser button at the far end of the toolbar, after Add Full Camera (C) and behind a divider (the one already used after the auto-enhance button). Every button before it adds a region; this one clears them. The icon is a single line in V4Timeline.tsx, so swapping it is a one-word change.
  • Shown only while the document stores at least one of those regions, together with its divider. Hidden otherwise, never greyed out. It follows the stored regions, not the pills the lanes draw: a trim whose clip is gone has no pill but is still stored, and still cleared.
  • One document write, so one Ctrl+Z restores every region and Ctrl+Shift+Z clears them again.

Why

Auto-zoom after recording stays on by default. Someone who does not want the zooms had to delete them one by one. Per maintainer decision it is not made an option; one click clears the edits instead.

How

clearEditRegions in document/timeline.ts holds one entry per RegionKind except audio, as a Record, so a new region kind fails to compile until it is decided. useTimeline exposes hasEditRegions (true while any of those regions is stored) and clearTimeline, which saves the cleared document with { history: true } and drops the selection. The toolbar reads the same hasEditRegions the action guards on, so the two cannot drift apart. Key buttons.clearTimeline in all 15 locales with real translations. One row in the documentWriteAudit table (a gesture).

Verified

  • tsc --noEmit and tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit: clean
  • Biome on touched files and on all locales: clean
  • npm run i18n:check: passed
  • gen-recreation.mjs --check (website): up to date
  • vitest on src/components/ai-edition and src/lib/ai-edition (126 files, 1719 tests): green. New tests cover the store action per region type, all five at once with clips, media, audio, captions and transcript untouched, one-step undo and redo, selection, the no-op case, a stored trim whose clip is gone (counted, cleared, though no pill shows it), the button following the stored regions rather than the pills, and the button sitting last behind a divider that is absent with it.
  • Not run: the manual desktop pass. A checklist line was added under Regions in manual-e2e-checklist.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The timeline can now clear zoom, annotation, trim, speed, and camera-fullscreen regions in one history-tracked save. The toolbar shows Clear timeline when stored edit regions exist. Audio tracks and other document content remain.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 54bfa

The clear action preserves media and other content and can be undone in one step. No actionable merge-blocking risk was identified; runtime tests were not independently executed.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 54bfa

The action preserves source content and uses the existing editing authority. No new external access or broader privileges were identified. Remaining uncertainty concerns overlapping edits and persistence during interruption.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The newly reachable destructive operation covers all five edit-region collections across the loaded document. The inspected transformation does not extend deletion to source content or grant access to additional projects, services, or credentials.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The new entrypoint remains within the existing editor-to-native-save path. It adds a user gesture, not an external API or identity transition, and retains the existing save-failure and history controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Handled save failures leave selection cleanup and history recording unapplied. Ordinary overlapping saves have no visible serialization gate in the inspected renderer implementation; this pattern predates the PR, including batch region deletion. Native ordering, duplicate invocation behavior, and durable interruption recovery remain unverified rather than established regressions.

🟡 Minor · Base visibility on stored edit regions, not projected pills. · V4Timeline.tsx:790-798

src/components/ai-edition/v4/V4Timeline.tsx:790-798
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Base visibility on stored edit regions, not projected pills.

When a persisted document retains a trimRanges entry whose clipId is absent, loading accepts the entry and the v6→v7 migration can preserve it. coalescedTrimGroups drops it, so the new pill-based hasEditRegions remains false. clearTimeline still counts and clears the stored entry, but the action is unavailable.

Use the same stored-region collections that clearEditRegions clears.

Suggested fix
-	const hasEditRegions =
-		annPills.length +
-			speedPills.length +
-			trimPills.length +
-			zoomPills.length +
-			cameraFullscreenPills.length >
+	const hasEditRegions =
+		tl.annotationRegions.length +
+			tl.speedRegions.length +
+			tl.trimRanges.length +
+			tl.zoomRegions.length +
+			tl.cameraFullscreenRegions.length >

…rawn pills

A trim whose clip is gone is stored and cleared but has no pill, so the
button stayed hidden while the action still had something to clear.
