James RussoandClaude Opus 4.6 18de86e4bd fix(player): handle Infinity duration; add lint rules for data-duration and Math.ceil overshoot (#243)
* fix(player): handle Infinity duration from runtime gracefully

When compositions have repeating animations without data-duration, the
runtime sends durationInFrames: Infinity. The player now ignores
non-finite duration values instead of displaying "Infinity:NaN" in the
controls. formatTime also returns "0:00" for non-finite inputs.

* feat(lint): add data-duration and Math.ceil overshoot rules

- Add root_composition_missing_data_duration warning when the root
  composition element is missing data-duration, which causes the runtime
  to infer Infinity for loop-inflated timelines.
- Add gsap_repeat_ceil_overshoot warning that catches
  repeat: Math.ceil(d/c)-1 patterns which overshoot the intended
  duration. Recommends Math.floor instead.
- Fix gsap_infinite_repeat fixHint to suggest Math.floor (not Math.ceil).

* fix(player): wait for injected runtime before declaring ready

When the player auto-injects the runtime script (because the
composition has GSAP timelines but no runtime), it would immediately
declare ready on the next probe cycle — before the runtime script
finished loading from CDN. This caused play() to send a postMessage
that nobody received, making autoplay silently fail.

Now the probe waits for the runtime bridge (__hf or __player) to
appear before proceeding to the ready state.

Hyperframes

npm version License Node.js

Write HTML. Render video. Built for agents.

Hyperframes is an open-source video rendering framework that lets you create, preview, and render HTML-based video compositions — with first-class support for AI agents via MCP.

Why Hyperframes?

  • HTML-native — AI agents already speak HTML. No React required.
  • Frame Adapter pattern — bring your own animation runtime (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, Three.js).
  • Deterministic rendering — same input = identical output. Built for automated pipelines.
  • AI-first design — not a bolted-on afterthought.

Quick Start

npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video

Then open the project with your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — it has HyperFrames skills installed and knows how to create and edit compositions.

npx hyperframes preview      # preview in browser (live reload)
npx hyperframes render   # render to MP4

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg

Documentation

Full documentation at hyperframes.heygen.com — start with the Quickstart, then explore guides, concepts, API reference, and package docs.

How It Works

Define your video as HTML with data attributes:

<div id="stage" data-composition-id="my-video" data-start="0" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
  <video
    id="clip-1"
    data-start="0"
    data-duration="5"
    data-track="0"
    src="intro.mp4"
    muted
    playsinline
  ></video>
  <img id="overlay" data-start="2" data-duration="3" data-track="1" src="logo.png" />
  <audio
    id="bg-music"
    data-start="0"
    data-duration="9"
    data-track="2"
    data-volume="0.5"
    src="music.wav"
  ></audio>
</div>

Preview instantly in the browser. Render to MP4 locally. Let AI agents compose videos using tools they already understand.

Packages

Package Description
hyperframes CLI — create, preview, lint, and render compositions
@hyperframes/core Types, parsers, generators, linter, runtime, frame adapters
@hyperframes/engine Seekable page-to-video capture engine (Puppeteer + FFmpeg)

AI Agent Skills

HyperFrames ships skills that teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor) how to write correct compositions and GSAP animations. Use these instead of writing from scratch — they encode framework-specific patterns that generic docs don't cover.

# Install all skills (HyperFrames + GSAP) — runs automatically during `hyperframes init`
npx hyperframes skills

# Or install to a specific agent
npx hyperframes skills --claude
npx hyperframes skills --cursor

Or via npx skills add

# HyperFrames skills (hyperframes-compose, hyperframes-captions)
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes

# GSAP skills (gsap-core, gsap-timeline, gsap-scrolltrigger, gsap-plugins, gsap-performance, gsap-utils, gsap-react, gsap-frameworks)
npx skills add greensock/gsap-skills

Installed Skills

Source Skills What they teach
HyperFrames hyperframes-compose, hyperframes-captions HTML composition structure, class="clip" rules, data-* attributes, timeline registration, rendering constraints
GSAP gsap-core, gsap-timeline, gsap-performance, gsap-plugins, gsap-scrolltrigger, gsap-utils, gsap-react, gsap-frameworks Core API, timeline sequencing, ScrollTrigger, plugin usage, performance best practices
