- Line 3599: Reorder the movie-mode rendering in Node3DEditorViewport::_draw()
so the movie texture and opaque letterbox are drawn before same-canvas overlays
such as plugin callbacks, focus and selection visuals, message text, and the
rotation line. Keep the frame outline drawn after the movie texture, while
preserving child controls’ existing later rendering order.
- Line 4253: Update the active movie-preview condition near movie_mode to also
require the viewport’s is_visible_in_tree() result. Handle
NOTIFICATION_VISIBILITY_CHANGED by calling _update_movie_preview() so
movie_preview_vp switches out of UPDATE_ALWAYS when the editor viewport is
hidden and restores the appropriate mode when visible.
In `@servers/movie_writer/movie_writer_exr.cpp`:
- Line 139: Update the audio block sizing around audio_block_size so remainder
samples from mix_rate divided by fps are distributed across frames using the
shared capture contract, keeping total WAV samples aligned with video duration.
If variable-size audio blocks are not supported, validate and reject unsupported
FPS values before creating output.

Keep WAV samples aligned with video duration.
For an FPS that does not divide mix_rate, this integer division discards samples for every frame. For example, 48,000 Hz at 59 FPS writes 47,967 samples per video second while the WAV header declares 48,000 Hz. The audio then drifts from the video.
Distribute remainder samples across frames in the shared capture contract. If variable blocks are unsupported, reject unsupported FPS before creating output.

This wasn't introduced by the PR. It surely needs to get fixed, but not here.

@mcdubhghlas, understood. The sample-alignment issue is outside the scope of this pull request. I will not request a change here.
Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the WAV audio-block sizing problem?

## Summary
The movie writer calculates a fixed WAV audio block size with integer division of `mix_rate / fps`. If the frame rate does not divide the audio mix rate, the writer drops the remainder samples for every frame.
For example, at 48,000 Hz and 59 FPS, fixed blocks contain 813 samples. This produces 47,967 samples per video second, while the WAV header declares 48,000 Hz. The audio duration then drifts from the video duration.
## Required changes
Update the movie capture audio-block contract so it keeps the total number of WAV samples aligned with the video duration.
Distribute remainder samples across frames when the capture contract supports variable audio block sizes. If it does not support variable block sizes, validate the frame rate before output creation and reject frame rates that do not divide `mix_rate`.
## Affected area
- `servers/movie_writer/movie_writer_exr.cpp`
- Shared movie capture and audio-block sizing code, if applicable
## Acceptance criteria
- A recording at a frame rate that does not divide the configured mix rate does not lose audio samples over time.
- WAV sample count and video duration remain aligned.
- Unsupported frame rates fail before output files are created when variable-size blocks are not supported.
- The behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test or validation.

ADDITION: Movie Mode: To preview the exact recorded frame
It shows the editor viewport framing that Movie Writer will actually output.
This is how you do it:
Everything outside of the output frame should darken, leaving a bright region matching the render aspect.
ADDITION: 16bit and 32bit EXR output, no more 8-bit gradient banding
It adds a floating-point .exr movie writer so smooth gradients/shadows don't have the 8-bit gradient banding.
This is how you set it:
This should output a numbered sequence "shot000000.exr" + a "shot.wav" is written. Something of note, you need the TinyEXR module on. This is done by default in our builds, BUT it has a requirement for anyone building a custom build and I think that should be noted here.
BUG FIX: TAA/FSR transparency bug
Before this fix, TAA and FSR turned the transparent viewport black.
