description: "Five places to make a HyperFrames video, and how to tell which one is yours."
---
There are five 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 |
| --- | --- |
| The Studio app (Mac, Linux) | A project you keep editing by chatting, pointing and drawing, your agent beside the preview |
| 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 in the Studio app if you want to watch it change
The free app for Mac and Linux runs your own agent (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or OpenCode with free
models) beside a live preview and a timeline. You change the video by typing, pointing at the picture or drawing on
it, and each agent run has its own **Undo**. Windows is coming soon.
[Install the Studio app →](/studio-app)
## Start with your coding agent if you work in a terminal
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 the browser editor, read the source, make the MP4 locally. This works on any system, Windows included.

## 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, the editors, 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.
