+## 图片编辑器角色动画抽帧不要采到视频尾点
+
+- 现象：画板角色图点击 `生成动画` 后，Ark 视频已生成并上传 OSS，但后端返回 `ffmpeg 已执行但未产出动作帧文件(requestId:...)`。
+- 原因：FFmpeg 在 `-ss` 采样时间落到视频尾点附近时可能退出码仍为 `0`，但实际输出 `0` 帧；如果后端按 `duration - 0.001` 抽最后一帧，低帧率或短视频很容易踩到不可解码尾点。
+- 处理：角色动画抽帧按目标帧数预留一个采样步长，例如 `32帧·4秒` 最后一帧采 `3.875s`，不要采 `3.999s`；`ffmpeg` 返回成功但无输出文件时，错误 details 保留 `targetSeconds`、`stdout`、`stderr` 和输出路径，用户主文案保持简短。
+- 验证：`cargo test -p api-server editor_character_animation --manifest-path server-rs/Cargo.toml`，其中 `editor_character_animation_extracts_final_sample_from_short_video` 应覆盖本机 FFmpeg 8 的 0 帧回归。

 ## 图片编辑器 Seedance 2.0 参考媒体不要提交视频 Data URL
 
 - 现象：画板生成视频选择 Seedance 2.0 并上传参考视频后，请求体暴涨、可能返回 `413` 或上游拒绝 `video_url.url`；文档示例或测试如果写 `data:video/mp4;base64,...`，后续实现很容易照抄。

 ### 抽帧与 OSS 存储
 
 - 视频生成完成后，后端按面板选择抽取对应帧数：`32`、`40` 或 `48`。
+- 抽帧采样必须按目标帧数预留视频尾部安全步长，例如 `32帧·4秒` 最后一帧采 `3.875s`，避免 FFmpeg 在尾点附近返回成功但输出 `0` 帧。
 - 每帧必须执行绿幕去背，输出透明背景 PNG。
 - 抽帧结果写入 OSS，并返回帧路径、帧尺寸、帧数、fps、预览视频路径、模型、价格和实际 prompt。
 - 画板前端首版只展示生成完成结果摘要，不把帧序列自动铺到画布上；后续若要展示逐帧图层，必须继续复用画布图层与素材库资源模型。
