Preview, Export, And Transitions

  • Reworked transition timing so export transitions run at the start of the entering scene and hold the previous scene stable.

  • Updated preview modal to use the same transition timing model as export.
  • Improved export capture around video scenes by waiting for visible videos to be ready and seeked before frame capture.
