Miguel Ángel 4b4595b878 perf(core): start playing a scene-authored film before its later scenes load
A film whose root hosts scene files (data-composition-src) no longer waits for
every scene before it can play. Scenes load in playback order, the player can
start once the scenes in the next two seconds are in, and playback holds on a
scene that has not arrived yet, then resumes from the held frame.

Renders still wait for every scene through __renderReady. A scene that fails to
load is left empty and playback carries on past it, as before.

@hyperframes/core

Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/core

Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.

What's inside

Module Description
Types TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults
Parsers parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations
Generators generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec
Compiler compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times
Linter lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.)
Runtime IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol
Frame Adapters Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom)

Generated composition trust

Composition generators require trusted authors for code-bearing inputs. styles and generateHyperframesStyles preserve authored CSS, which can load external resources. animations may contain __raw: values that are emitted as JavaScript; includeScripts: true includes executable timeline code. serializeGsapAnimations also accepts raw preamble, postamble, and a code-bearing timelineVar. Never fill these inputs with untrusted data. Attribute encoding and closing-tag containment are not a sandbox; render untrusted compositions in an appropriately isolated execution environment and never serve them on a privileged origin.

Text content retains the supported inline-formatting sanitizer contract. The clip parser intentionally flattens inner formatting to text, so parse/generate is not a lossless replacement for editing the source HTML.

Frame Adapters

A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:

import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
  getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
  compositionId: "my-video",
});

Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:

import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";

const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
  id: "my-adapter",
  getDurationFrames: () => 300,
  seekFrame: (frame) => {
    /* seek your animation */
  },
};

Parsing and generating HTML

import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";

const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);

Linting

import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";

const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
