* feat(player): play and loop a range of the film with range-start and range-end The runtime takes a set-play-range control and stops on the range end frame itself. The player wraps to range-start with loop, fires ended without it, and reports a range cut to the film with rangeclamped. Video and __timelines players check it per tick. * fix(player): hold a range on its last frame and let the runtime own range jumps A runtime with the play-range capability jumps to range-start itself when a new range leaves the playhead outside, so a stale state no longer ends the film; older runtimes keep the player fallback, guarded until a state lands inside. Every range stop shows the last frame before range-end; a paused playhead re-parks only when it falls outside the new range. * fix(player): stop a range a check early and enforce its end on a video in a background tab * test(player): share the range video setup * fix(player): a slow frame no longer cuts a range short; a video without a range is unchanged * fix(player): a range still stops early where video time moves once per frame * refactor(player): cut the range look-ahead comment to one line * fix(player): a per-frame video time rounded down still stops a range early * test(player): pin no rounding tolerance at a film's own end * test(studio): expect the play-range capability on control messages
@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 }[]
