## Summary
- Adds `--format mov` to the render CLI for ProRes 4444 transparent video output
- ProRes 4444 with alpha is the industry standard for transparent video overlays, supported by CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, and After Effects
- WebM VP9 alpha technically works but is ignored by all major video editors — only browsers decode it
- Adds MOV to the studio export dropdown alongside MP4 and WebM
## Transparency format comparison
| Format | Codec | Alpha | Video editors | Browsers | File size |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **MOV** | ProRes 4444 | Yes | CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, After Effects | No (won't play in browser) | Large (~5-40 MB) |
| **WebM** | VP9 | Yes | None (shows black) | Chrome, Firefox | Small (~200 KB) |
| **MP4** | H.264 | No | All | All | Small |
> **Note:** ProRes MOV files do not play in Chromium browsers — they are an intermediate/editing format, not a delivery format. Use [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video) to verify transparency works correctly.
## Changes
- **CLI**: Add `mov` to `--format` validation, examples, and output path logic
- **Engine**: `getEncoderPreset()` returns ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p10le`) for `mov` format; handle `.mov` in `applyFaststart` and `muxVideoWithAudio`; add `pix_fmt` to streaming encoder ProRes path
- **Producer**: Treat `mov` like `webm` for alpha capture (PNG frames, screenshot mode, `forceScreenshot`)
- **Studio**: Add MOV option to export format dropdown and render queue hook
- **Core**: Add `mov` to studio API types, render route, and mime helpers
- **Tests**: Add encoder preset tests for mov format (42 total, all passing)
## Usage
```bash
hyperframes render --format mov --output overlay.mov
```
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm build` passes
- [x] `pnpm --filter @hyperframes/engine test` — 42 tests pass (2 new for MOV)
- [x] `oxlint` and `oxfmt` clean on all 12 changed files
- [x] End-to-end local render produces ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p12le`) with working alpha
- [x] Docker render with `--format mov` — ProRes 4444 confirmed via ffprobe
- [x] Studio dropdown shows MOV option in built JS
- [x] Transparency verified with [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video)
## Summary
- **New skill:** **`marker-highlight`** — integrates [MarkerHighlight.js](https://github.com/Robincodes-Sandbox/marker-highlight) into HyperFrames compositions. Canvas-based animated text highlighting with 5 drawing modes: marker pen, circle, burst, scribble, and sketchout.
- **Studio fix:** added missing `captionSync` to useEffect dependency array (oxlint exhaustive-deps)
- **Studio fix:** `loadOverrides` now checks `res.ok` before parsing, preventing 404 console noise on projects without captions
## Skill details
The skill documents the non-obvious GSAP integration pattern discovered during development:
1. **One highlighter per container** — the library clears ALL `.highlight` divs from the shared parent on init, so multiple instances on sibling marks conflict
2. **`data-color`** **\+** **`data-original-bgcolor`** — prevents the CSS background-color flash that occurs when the library reads and clears the mark's background
3. **Canvas pre-draw + clear + reanimate** — `animate: false` pre-draws statically, canvases are hidden, then cleared and shown with `reanimateMark()` at trigger time for clean animated reveals
4. **`onReverseComplete`** **for rewind** — hides highlight divs when the timeline seeks backward past the trigger point
## Test plan
- [ ] `npx hyperframes lint` passes on test-composition
- [ ] Studio preview shows marker highlight on "something" at 1s, circle on "love" at 2.2s
- [ ] Rewind past trigger points hides highlights
- [ ] No 404 console errors for caption-overrides.json on non-caption projects

* fix(studio): address caption designer PR feedback
Fixes from review comments on feature/caption-designer (#180):
- fix(generator): guard named colors in hexToRgba — "red", "transparent"
no longer produce NaN rgba values
- fix(sync): log auto-save failures instead of silently swallowing them
- fix(sync): check res.ok before parsing caption-overrides response
- refactor(components): extract Section, Row, inputCls into shared.tsx
to eliminate duplication between CaptionPropertyPanel and
CaptionAnimationPanel
- fix(store): replace non-deterministic Date.now()+Math.random() ID with
counter-based group IDs
- fix(store): read selectedGroupId from state param instead of get() to
avoid stale reads in batched set() calls
- fix(overlay): remove cssScale multiplier from getBoundingClientRect
coords — the browser already accounts for CSS transforms
- docs(parser): add comment explaining the lazy ]; regex assumption

* fix(studio): address remaining caption designer feedback
Overlay: handle both per-word spans (generator output) and grouped text
nodes (existing templates). Wraps text nodes into individual spans on
demand so the overlay can target words in any caption format.
Property panel: add Typography (font, size, weight, spacing) and Color
(color, active, dim, opacity) sections alongside existing Position and
Transform controls.
Timeline: move caption timeline into a dedicated flex-shrink-0 section
below the main timeline tracks instead of inside the scrollable area.
Gives it fixed 60px height that's always visible.
Caption overrides: classify color tweens by comparing target color to
the dim baseline instead of relying on timeline position order. This
handles compositions with custom color tweens correctly.
App.tsx: remove polling interval, rely on runtime postMessage events
for caption detection. Add clarifying comment on why useEffect is
appropriate (external event subscription).

* fix(studio): restore cssScale in overlay coordinate conversion
getBoundingClientRect() on iframe-internal elements returns coordinates
in the iframe's native resolution (1920x1080), not the CSS-scaled
display size. The cssScale multiplier is needed to convert to parent
window coordinates. The earlier removal was incorrect — it only worked
at 1:1 scale.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(studio): fix reversed scaling on left-side corner handles
Scale interaction used horizontal dx from start position, which goes
negative when dragging left handles outward. Now uses distance from box
center — dragging away from center increases scale regardless of which
corner handle is used.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(studio): make rotation respond to horizontal drag only
Rotation handle sits directly above the word, so atan2-based rotation
barely responds to left/right movement. Replace with linear horizontal
mapping: drag right = clockwise, drag left = counter-clockwise,
200px = 90 degrees. Vertical movement is ignored.

* fix(studio): remove animation tab and typography/color from property panel
Keep only Position (X, Y) and Transform (Scale, Rotation) controls.
Remove tab switcher UI since there's only one view now.

## Summary
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time, no per-frame callbacks needed
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility
- Add multilingual model guidance and decision tree for model selection
## Test plan
- [ ] Skill files render correctly as markdown
- [ ] Cross-references between SKILL.md, dynamic-techniques.md, and transcript-guide.md resolve correctly
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops

## Summary
- Add `/api/projects/:id/upload` endpoint for multipart file uploads with automatic dedup naming
- Wire `onImportFiles` from Assets tab "Import media" button through to the upload API
- Add global drag-drop overlay — drop media files **anywhere** in the studio, not just the Assets panel
- Files that already exist get `(2)`, `(3)` suffixes instead of overwriting
- Support uploading into subdirectories via `?dir=` param — dropping on a folder imports there
- Make folders draggable in the file tree + support drop-to-root
- Add `bodyLimit` middleware for early rejection of oversized payloads
- Surface skipped/failed uploads via toast notification instead of console-only
Addresses feedback: _"Wish I could upload/drag-drop assets directly in the Studio (music, images, video) like a CapCut media panel"_
## Test plan
- [x] Open studio, drag an image/video/audio file onto any part of the UI
- [x] Verify the drop overlay appears with "Drop files to import" message
- [x] Drop the file — verify it appears in the Assets tab and file tree
- [x] Drop a file with the same name — verify it gets a `(2)` suffix
- [x] Click "Import media" button in Assets tab — verify file picker works
- [x] Import multiple files at once via drag-drop
- [x] Drop a file onto a nested folder in the file tree — verify it lands in that folder
- [x] Drag a folder in the file tree and drop it on another folder or root — verify it moves
- [x] Drop a file >500MB — verify toast notification appears
- [x] Verify drag overlay doesn't get stuck when dragging over nested UI elements
## Summary
- **API**: POST (create), DELETE (delete), PATCH (rename/move), POST duplicate endpoints with null-byte sanitization
- **FileTree**: right-click context menu with New File, New Folder, Rename, Duplicate, Delete
- **Drag-and-drop**: move files between folders with visual feedback and subtree guard
- **Inline editing**: rename/create inputs with filename validation
- **Header actions**: quick New File / New Folder buttons in the FILES header
Stacks on top of `feat/studio-code-quality`.
## Test plan
- [x] Right-click file → Rename, Delete, Duplicate all work
- [x] Right-click folder → New File, New Folder, Delete work
- [x] Drag file from one folder to another
- [x] Create file with invalid name (`../foo`, `a/b`) → rejected client-side
- [x] Delete currently-edited file → editor clears
- [x] Studio build succeeds
## Summary
The timeline is now hidden by default. A toggle button appears in both the header (alongside panel toggles) and the player controls bar. Both sync the same state and turn teal when the timeline is visible.
## Changes
- **`timelineVisible` state** in `App.tsx`, defaults to `false`
- **Header toggle**: icon button between sidebar toggle and Renders button
- **Player controls toggle**: icon button at the right end of the controls bar
- **NLELayout**: `timelineVisible` and `onToggleTimeline` props gate the timeline + resize divider
- **Player controls stay visible**: moved from inside the timeline section to inside the preview area, so hiding the timeline doesn't hide play/seek/timecode
## Behavior
| State | Preview | Player controls | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timeline hidden (default) | Full height | ✅ Visible | Hidden |
| Timeline visible | Shorter | ✅ Visible | Shown with resize handle |
Both toggle buttons show identical teal active state (`#3CE6AC/10` bg + `#3CE6AC/30` border).

## Summary
Removes the `ProjectPicker` home screen entirely. The studio now boots directly into the editor by auto-selecting the first available project from `/api/projects`.
## Changes
- **Auto-select on load**: When no `#project/` hash is present, fetches the project list and navigates to the first one
- **Type narrowing**: Added `if (resolving || !projectId)` early return so TypeScript narrows `projectId` to `string` for all downstream props
- **Removed**: `ProjectPicker`, `ProjectCard`, `ExpandedPreviewIframe` components (~280 lines), `handleSelectProject` callback, `ProjectEntry` interface
## Why
The CLI studio always has exactly one project. The home page was an extra click with no value.

## Summary
- Surfaces error message when render fails due to producer server not running
- Two cases covered: initial POST failure and SSE connection drop
- Failed jobs now show the error reason in red text in the Renders panel
## Test plan
- [x] Start studio without producer server
- [x] Click render → should show "Could not reach render server" in red
- [x] Start render then kill producer → should show "Connection lost"

- studioServer: use timestamped job IDs matching the studio pattern
- studioServer: fix download endpoint to serve correct content-type for WebM
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes render --format webm` outputs timestamped WebM file
- [x] `hyperframes render` outputs timestamped MP4 (no overwrite)
- [x] Studio embedded server (`hyperframes dev`) renders with correct format when selected in UI
- [x] Download endpoint serves correct MIME type for WebM renders

The blank template was a bare `<div>` fragment without `<!DOCTYPE>`,
`<head>`, or `<body>`. This caused:
- Blank preview (bundler/runtime can't initialize from a fragment)
- "Failed to run lint" (parsing errors on the malformed document)
All other templates (swiss-grid, vignelli, warm-grain, play-mode) are
proper HTML documents — blank was the only outlier.
Also improves lint error reporting to show the actual error message
instead of the generic "Failed to run lint."

When installed via npx, `hyperframes dev` now starts a standalone
Hono HTTP server that serves the pre-built studio SPA and implements
the project API (file listing, read/write, preview bundling,
sub-composition rendering, runtime serving, SSE file watching).
Three modes are auto-detected:
1. Monorepo dev (running from .ts source) → spawn Vite (existing)
2. Local @hyperframes/studio installed → spawn Vite via package (new)
3. Default → embedded Hono server (new, zero extra deps needed)
Also patches the studio SPA to use EventSource SSE fallback when
Vite HMR is unavailable (production/embedded builds).
