import { HoverVideo } from "/snippets/hover-video.jsx";

Started a video in Claude Code, Codex or another agent? Open the same folder in the Studio app and keep going there:
the preview sits beside the chat, and you can point, draw and comment on the picture. Nothing is copied or moved,
so your agent and the app work on the same files.

## From your agent: one command (Mac)

Inside a Claude Code, Codex or Grok session, in the project folder, run (or ask your agent to run it):

```bash
npx hyperframes open
```

```text
◇  Opening Spring Launch in the HyperFrames desktop app
   Its chat picks up this Claude Code conversation.
   When the person is back here, run npx hyperframes catch-up to see what they did in the app.
```

The app opens the project, and because the command ran inside your agent's session, its chat carries on that
conversation, so you don't explain the video again. Run it from a plain terminal instead and the app still opens the
project, with a fresh chat.

This hand-off works on Mac today. On Windows and Linux, and wherever the app isn't installed yet, the command prints
the download link instead.

## From the app: Import projects

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/import-projects-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/import-projects-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="The sidebar's Import projects opens a list of the projects on this Mac" />

The app looks for HyperFrames projects on your Mac. The ones it hasn't opened yet are under **Import projects** in the
sidebar, with their count. Choose **Import** on one, or **Import all**.

Importing adds a project to HyperFrames without moving it: it stays in its folder, and your changes are saved there.

The first time, macOS asks before the app looks in Documents, Downloads and Desktop. Have one somewhere else? Choose
**File** > **Open Folder…** (<kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>O</kbd>), or drop the folder on the sidebar.

## Back to your agent: catch up

When you go back to your terminal, ask your agent to catch up, or run:

```bash
npx hyperframes catch-up
```

It lists what happened in the app since the hand-off: what you asked, what Framey did, and which files changed.
Your agent reads it and carries on from there. Catch-up works after `npx hyperframes open` ran inside your agent's
session; for a project opened from a plain terminal or imported in the app, there's no hand-off to catch up on.
