A project can now be a clip: Setup has a Video switch with a length, a
frame rate and presets that set the canvas too (Instagram story, reel and
feed video, TikTok / YouTube Short, Square loop, Full HD clip). The preview
renders the whole clip, shrunk to a memory budget, and loops it with
play/pause and a scale; Save As... renders it again at full size and pipes
the frames into ffmpeg as .mp4, .mov, .mkv, .webm or .gif, with a progress
window that can cancel. --duration, --fps and --video-preset do the same
from the command line.
Effects learn about time through FrameTime and Effect::renderFrame, which
falls back to render, so nothing that holds still changes. Channel split
now sways, shakes and rolls a tracking bar down the picture in a video; its
motion params are marked forVideo() and hidden in a still project, and a
still renders byte for byte as before. renderFrames starts every frame
from the same seed and renders the still stages ahead of the first moving
one only once. The version moves to 0.6.0.

Slit shift, channel split, pixel sort, corruption, shatter, warp, bit
crush and feedback: tearing bands sideways, knocking the colour planes
out of register, sorting runs of pixels, damaging blocks the way a broken
stream does, breaking the picture into shards, pushing it along a noise
field, mangling its bytes and laying it over itself again and again.
All eight are pure transforms. None needs sources, so any of them can
lead a chain, and like blur they start from a crop of a random source
when they do and photographs are loaded. canvasFromSources holds that
start once for them.
Each draws its whole plan from the rng before touching a pixel, and
pixel sort hands every line a seed of its own, so the parallel work
never decides anything. The rotations in shatter and feedback take their
sine and cosine from a short series of plain multiplications rather than
libm, so a seed lands on the same pixels whatever the machine's maths
library makes of std::sin.
The tests hold every one of them to the same things -- a seed
reproduces it, it runs without sources and as a later stage, a sliver
of a canvas does not trip it, turned right down it leaves its input
alone -- plus a check of what each actually does, and the registry now
checks that no two effects declare the same param key.
