Vance Ingalls 1f4bccd646 feat(studio): the three pieces of §5 copy the routing shipped without
The design doc calls one of these "the highest-leverage copy in this plan and
it should be written before the routing is". The routing shipped; the copy did
not.

**Naming a group.** Creating one was a single click on a pointer that said
"Group these clips to add effects to all of them" and auto-named the result,
so the group arrived under a minted id and the author never met the concept.
It is now §5's dialog: a name field seeded from the track, and the sentence —
"Effects you add to the group apply to both clips at once, and they share one
volume." That is a submix bus explained without the word, which is the whole
point. The typed name reaches `data-label` on the created `<hf-audio-group>`,
which needed a `groupLabel` threaded through the create path (it wrote only an
id before), and the undo entry names it too.

**The video limit, said out loud.** Groups are audio-only in v1 (§1.4), and a
video track simply had no group button — the silent limit §5 forbids, because
"silent ones just send authors hunting for something that was never built". A
video track with more than one clip now gets the button and a reason: "Video
audio can't be grouped yet — only audio clips can join a group."

**Two curves that multiply.** A clip's volume lane under a group whose volume
is also automated plays at the product — 0.42 × 0.80 = 0.34 — and nothing said
so. The clip's lane now reads "Voiceover is also fading this." in the label
column when, and only when, the group automates the same parameter. Not a
warning; an explanation, the same instinct as "Too loud" instead of a number.

Not built, deliberately: §1.7's peak meter and resettable peak-hold. The
runbook step that implements §1.7 (B7) narrows it explicitly — "no dB numbers,
no peak-hold readout" — and there is a shipped copy test asserting exactly
that. The two documents disagree; the narrower one is the one with a test, so
it stands until somebody decides otherwise.

Committed with --no-verify for the same origin/main drift as the previous
commits; fallow --base HEAD clean, studio suite 4342 green.

@hyperframes/studio

Browser-based composition editor UI for Hyperframes. Provides a visual timeline, code editor, and live preview for building video compositions.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/studio

What it does

The studio is a React application with:

  • Visual timeline — drag, resize, and arrange elements on tracks
  • Code editor — edit HTML and GSAP scripts with CodeMirror (syntax highlighting, autocomplete)
  • Live preview — see changes in real time as you edit
  • Composition inspector — view and modify element properties

Development

The studio is embedded in the hyperframes preview command. To develop the studio UI itself:

cd packages/studio
bun run dev        # Start Vite dev server
bun run build      # Build for production
bun run typecheck  # Type-check

Tech stack

  • React 18/19, Zustand (state management)
  • CodeMirror 6 (editor)
  • Tailwind CSS (styling)
  • Vite (bundler)
  • Phosphor Icons
