Miguel Ángel aadeaf9ddd fix(core): a clip that starts later keeps the place and size its CSS gives it (#4495)
* fix(core): a clip that starts later keeps the place and size its CSS gives it

A timed root clip that had not started when the runtime laid clips out was display:none,
so it measured as auto: it was pinned to the top-left corner, and an empty full-frame clip
got no size. Measure a hidden clip as it will show and never pin, so it lays out like a
clip showing at load.

* perf(core): lay out hidden clips in one pass and pin the !important restore

Lift every hidden clip's display:none at once so a layout pass forces one layout instead of
one per hidden clip; it runs every 20 frames during playback. Add a test that an author's
display:none !important comes back with its priority, and fix comments that described the
removed pin.

* test(core): describe what the applyClipLayout test block covers

* refactor(core): name the display lift instead of commenting it

@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 }[]
