## I want an editable project on my computer

Use a coding agent with the HyperFrames skills. The agent writes an ordinary
HTML project that you can revise with the agent, open in Studio, inspect in
source, render locally, or automate later.

This is the default path for a video that will keep changing.

Using /hyperframes, make a 10-second product intro for https://example.com.
```

## I want to create inside an AI chat

Use the hosted HyperFrames MCP connector. It creates and renders through your
HeyGen account without a local HyperFrames setup.

Choose this when convenience matters more than owning the complete project
folder. Rendering and account access are hosted; local Studio, source editing,
self-hosting, and precise debugging belong to the local path.

## I want to establish the visual direction first

Start in Figma, Claude Design, or Open Design when brand, layout, and scene
direction are the unresolved part. Then hand the project to a coding agent for
motion refinement, media, validation, and rendering.

The design tool supplies a first draft, not a substitute for watching and
checking the finished movement.

## I want to create inside HeyGen

Use HeyGen Video Agent when you want a hosted prompt-native workflow that
assembles the script, visuals, narration, avatar, and motion for you. HyperFrames
can power its HTML motion graphics, but the delivery surface is different: the
local path gives you the project folder, source, Studio, and CLI; Video Agent
keeps generation and revision inside HeyGen.

If a generated person is only one layer in a locally editable film, [add the
presenter as media inside a HyperFrames project](/guides/avatar-presenter).
HeyGen generation can use an account allowance or credits; local HyperFrames
rendering does not.

## If you are unsure

Start with the local path. It preserves the most options because the project
stays editable. Use the [developer journey](/developers) instead when your goal
is an application or automated pipeline rather than one video.
