Visual redesign of the timeline: - Flat solid clip backgrounds, no gradients or multi-layer shadows - Unified neutral color palette — all clips use the same base color - Clean 6px border-radius instead of organic asymmetric radii - Single-line labels, no redundant tag badge or time range - 3px teal accent stripe on the left edge of every clip - Simplified trim handles (2px accent bars) Thumbnail fixes: - Fixed broken thumbnail URLs — compositionSrc was an absolute URL that got nested inside the preview/comp path. Now normalized to relative path before constructing the thumbnail URL - Thumbnail background changed from #000 to #1c2028 so transparent overlay compositions render visible content against a matching dark background - mix-blend-mode: lighten on thumbnail layer — dark backgrounds blend away, bright content shows through - Removed double-label in CompositionThumbnail (was showing both a badge at top and text at bottom)
hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init

npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4:
npx hyperframes render ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
lint
Validate your Hyperframes HTML:
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose # Include info-level findings
By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
