visual-mode

Visual Mode is a feature in Remotion Studio that allows one to visually edit Sequences.

I've made the following observations:

Fields

• overrideId -> does keep the identity the same of a sequence, even if the file / line / column changes
• Sequence stack -> changes on hot reload. shared by multiple sequences which have different overrideIds
• Sequence file, line, column (symbolicated stack) -> does not change, but needs to be calculated asyn
• nodePath -> same identity, even if line, stack and overrideId changes. async

nodePath + index is ideal way to keep track of the expanded state. that’s the end goal.

Once nodePath is mapped to overrideId, it doesn’t change otherwise component would remount and overrideId works change.

If the same stack is found already used by another sequence, we re-use the overrideId.

nodePath to symbolicated stack could theoretically change on every file change. but multiple sequences can share the same stack and then they all have the same nodePath.
