Summary

Addresses motion blur quality and performance across cursor, camera/screen, and webcam segmentation background blur:

  • Cursor motion blur: Restricts shutter interval to the current frame window (<= 1.25 / FPS, fixing the 8-frame stretch bug). Implements adaptive tap density (stationary cursors collapse to 1 tap, moving cursors scale dynamically with displacement \clamp(2, 16)). Adds a front-weighted linear tap ramp (\cursor_tap_weight) normalized to 1.0 and blended per-tap in D3D11, Metal, and Vulkan backends.
  • General camera/screen motion blur: Scales blur displacement proportionally to \mb_amount\ backwards from \uv_now, eliminating discrete ghost replicas when the slider is below 100%. Short-circuits when stationary or \mb_scale <= 0.001.
  • Webcam segmentation background blur: Replaces the 25-tap Cartesian grid with an isotropic 21-tap Vogel spiral (golden angle disk) Gaussian bokeh kernel with per-pixel Interleaved Gradient Noise (IGN) rotation. Achieves smooth photographic circular bokeh with 16% fewer texture samples (21 vs 25 taps).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Motion blur strength is now applied consistently to screen recordings and webcam picture-in-picture layers.
    • Cursor motion trails now adapt to movement speed, with smoother and more natural per-sample blending.
    • Motion blur is reduced or skipped when movement is negligible, helping preserve image clarity.
  • Improvements

    • Webcam background blur now uses a higher-quality sampling pattern for smoother, more natural-looking results.
    • Rendering behavior is more consistent across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

- Restrict cursor motion blur shutter interval to current frame (<= 1.25/FPS) instead of 8 frames
- Add adaptive tap density for cursor motion blur (stationary drops to 1 tap, moving scales clamp(2, 16))
- Add monotonically front-weighted tap weight ramp (cursor_tap_weight) normalized to 1.0, blended per-tap in D3D11, Metal, and Vulkan
- Pass mb_amount to shaders and scale general motion blur displacement proportionally backwards from uv_now
- Replace 25-tap Cartesian grid webcam background blur with isotropic 21-tap Vogel spiral Gaussian bokeh kernel and IGN rotation
- Deduplicate Windows cursor placement by reusing plan_cursor

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compositor now derives motion-blur intensity and adaptive cursor sampling from frame geometry. Linux, macOS, and Windows apply these values. Metal and WGSL shaders use scaled motion vectors and 21-tap webcam blur sampling.

Changes

Motion blur quality changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frame and cursor blur planning
crates/compositor/src/frame_geometry.rs
FrameGeometry now includes clamped motion-blur intensity. Scene-driven cursor trails use adaptive taps, short shutter timing, front-weighted samples, and normalized tap weights. Tests cover these behaviors.
Platform compositor integration
crates/compositor/src/compositor_linux.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_macos.rs, crates/compositor/src/compositor_windows.rs, crates/compositor/src/cursor.rs
All compositor backends pass planned blur intensity to screen and webcam layers. Cursor accumulation uses per-tap weights. Windows uses the shared cursor planning path.
Scaled motion-blur sampling
crates/compositor/src/shaders.metal, crates/compositor/src/vk_shaders/layer.wgsl
Motion-blur displacement is scaled by the configured amount. Samples trail backward from the current UV.
Webcam Gaussian blur sampling
crates/compositor/src/shaders.metal, crates/compositor/src/vk_shaders/layer.wgsl
Webcam background blur uses 21-tap Vogel sampling with Gaussian-like weights, per-pixel rotation, and local pixel coordinates.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d4d0d

Maximum cursor blur can produce a longer-than-intended trail. Cap the shutter interval to one frame before merging.

Explanation

The reviewable changes address the cursor, general motion-blur, webcam-blur, and shared Windows cursor-planning objectives from issue #606. However, the description states a cursor shutter interval of <=1.25/FPS while the issue requires <=1.0/FPS, and the Windows HLSL shader is excluded from review by the !**/*.hlsl filter.

Resolution

Confirm that the implemented cursor shutter duration is <=1.0/FPS, or update the implementation and tests to meet that requirement. Review crates/compositor/src/shaders.hlsl separately because it was excluded by the !**/*.hlsl path filter; verify that it scales motion-blur displacement by mb_amount and preserves trailing sampling behavior before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Limit trail_dt to one frame.

plan_cursor samples input.track.at(input.t - trail_dt), and all compositor consumers interpolate from prev_placement to the current placement. At maximum blur, 1.25 / FPS therefore creates a 1.25-frame trail. The centered comment does not change this because no future sample is taken. Use blur01 / FPS so the interval stays within one frame.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
