There are four places to make a HyperFrames video. They all give you a video.
The difference is what you keep afterwards. Unsure? Take the first one.

| Start here | You end up with |
| --- | --- |
| A coding agent on your computer | A project folder you own and keep editing |
| An AI chat | A video made and kept in your HeyGen account |
| A design tool | A look to finish on your computer |
| HeyGen Video Agent | A finished video, assembled for you |

## Start on your computer if the video will change

A coding agent — an AI assistant that works in a folder on your machine, like
Claude Code or Cursor — writes a plain HTML project. Revise it with the agent,
open it in Studio, read the source, make the MP4 locally.

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

## Start in an AI chat if you want nothing installed

The hosted HyperFrames connector (an MCP connector — a plug-in an AI chat can
use) builds and renders through your HeyGen account. You give up the project
folder, Studio, and local rendering.

## Start in a design tool if the look is the open question

Figma, Claude Design, and Open Design settle brand, layout, and scene direction
first. Hand that draft to a coding agent for the motion, media, and rendering —
no design tool can tell you whether the movement works.

## Start in HeyGen if you want it done for you

HeyGen Video Agent takes a prompt and assembles the script, visuals, narration,
avatar, and motion. It stays inside HeyGen — no folder, no source, no CLI — and
it can draw on your account allowance or credits. Rendering on your own computer
never does.
