Three defects in the offline FX path, none of which any test could see. **Float output silently disabled sample-accurate volume automation.** The writer emitted 32-bit IEEE float; the very next mixer step bakes the volume envelope into the samples and accepts only 16-bit PCM, returning null otherwise. So enabling any effect downgraded that track to the ffmpeg expression path — capped at 32 straight segments, quantising a curved envelope, and on a dense one falling back to base volume. It now writes 16-bit PCM, clamped rather than wrapped so a limiter at 0 dB or a resonant filter cannot turn overshoot into a click. A test asserts the baker accepts the writer's own output and actually fades it. **Everything was folded to mono.** `prepareAudioTrack` goes out of its way to emit stereo — its pan filter exists to dodge ffmpeg's 3 dB mono-to-stereo rematrix — and this folded it, then wrote one channel. So adding a single peaking EQ collapsed a bed's width and cost ~3 dB in the render, while preview stayed stereo. Channels now travel as one plane each, through an OfflineAudioContext of the same width, and come back interleaved. **Small results decoded the wrong length.** `new Float32Array(buf.buffer)` discards byteOffset and byteLength, and Node pools small allocations: a 400-byte payload sits at offset 8 inside an 8 KiB pool, so a clip under ~1024 samples decoded as 2048 samples of unrelated memory — and the empty-result guard could not see it. The reader has the mirror-image fix: a float data chunk on an odd boundary (ffmpeg's pcm_f32le writes fmt(18) + fact, landing `data` at 58) now copies instead of throwing RangeError on an unaligned view. The tail limitation is now stated rather than mis-stated: the context is exactly as long as the input, so a reverb or delay still ringing is cut there. The old comment claimed the opposite. How far a tail may run past a clip's end changes the clip's length in the mix, so it is a product decision, not one to make here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
@hyperframes/engine
Seekable web-page-to-video rendering engine built on Puppeteer and FFmpeg.
Framework-agnostic: works with GSAP, Lottie, Three.js, CSS animations, or any web content that implements the window.__hf seek protocol.
Install
npm install @hyperframes/engine
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded by Puppeteer), FFmpeg
What it does
The engine opens your HTML composition in a headless Chrome instance, seeks frame-by-frame using Chrome's HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame API, captures screenshots, and encodes them into video with FFmpeg.
Key services
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| browserManager | Launches and pools headless Chrome instances (chrome-headless-shell) |
| frameCapture | Manages capture sessions — seek, screenshot, buffer lifecycle |
| screenshotService | BeginFrame-based capture with CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) |
| chunkEncoder | FFmpeg encoding with chunked concat, GPU detection, faststart |
| streamingEncoder | Pipe frames to FFmpeg in real time (no intermediate PNGs on disk) |
| audioMixer | Parse <audio> elements and mix audio tracks via FFmpeg |
| videoFrameExtractor | Extract frames from <video> elements for compositing |
| parallelCoordinator | Split frame ranges across worker processes |
| fileServer | Serve local HTML files to the browser via Hono |
Usage
import {
acquireBrowser,
createCaptureSession,
initializeSession,
captureFrame,
closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";
// 1. Launch browser
const browserLease = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });
// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
browser: browserLease.browser,
url: "http://localhost:3000/my-composition.html",
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
fps: 30,
});
await initializeSession(session);
// 3. Capture frames
for (let i = 0; i < totalFrames; i++) {
await captureFrame(session, i, `/tmp/frames/frame-${i}.png`);
}
// 4. Clean up
await closeCaptureSession(session);
await browserLease.release();
Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
