HyperFrames v0.8.211

Released on 2026-10-28.

Graded clips now draw on real GPUs instead of showing a blank frame, including clips zoomed far past the screen. New blank projects also start on black, not grey. Renders are faster in many places, and cloud renders stitch in parallel.

Features

• Core: The preview says why a choppy stretch dropped frames.
• CLI: Every command is defined the same way and tested as an agent would use it.

Fixes

• CLI: Local servers never bind a port Chromium refuses to load from (bf7ebe961, #6620).
• Dx: Unblock lint and the Claude pre-commit hook on Windows (310488b05, #6619).
• CLI: A new blank project starts on a black frame, not grey (4f0bdfb52, #6614).
• Core: A graded clip's canvas no longer comes out blank on a real GPU (9eaf9efb6, #6615).
• Producer: A path whose name starts with two dots now counts as inside its folder (c8052fbda, #5834).
• Studio: A slow thumbnail job no longer cuts off a clip that other clips still decode from.
• Studio Server: Undo and redo on Windows work on a file another program holds open.
• CLI: Commands never prompt or install anything when nobody is at the terminal.
• Engine: A render on Windows opens no console windows.
• Studio: The desktop card says the download opens hyperframes.studio.
• CLI: Snapshot prints a progress line as each frame starts.

Performance

• CLI: Check's craft pass skips clips the runtime has hidden (815ff9ec8, #6627).
• Producer: GPU renders encode while frames are still being captured.
• AWS Lambda: Small-chunk cloud renders stitch their output in parallel.
• Engine: A GPU render checks the GPU encoders once, not twice.
• Engine: Macs with a hardware GPU render with more capture workers.
• Producer: A remote video is downloaded once per render.
• Producer: The audio mix runs while capture starts its browsers.
• Producer: Films that draw elements keep their parallel workers instead of dropping to one.
• Producer: Worker sizing measures screenshot capture and starts one browser fewer.
• Studio: Timeline thumbnails share video sources and keep their frames.

Docs & Examples

• Audio: Say the render sums tracks at unity and limits nothing (8b1f88b3c, #5652).

Internal

• Codegen: Resync cloud client from EF 354b4cf4 (32e171ca9, #6608).
