Moving sharp and onnxruntime-node to optionalDependencies (in the earlier capture/native-module hardening) regressed `remove-background` from ~7% to ~97% failure starting at 0.6.101: the command genuinely *requires* both native modules, but as optional deps they're skipped on most installs, so it hits the guarded "module not available" error and fails for nearly everyone. The capture crash that motivated the optional move is already fixed by the lazy, guarded `await import()` in contentExtractor / inference — that holds regardless of dependency classification. Making the modules optional was the over-correction; the lazy import alone was sufficient. sharp ships its own platform binaries as optional sub-deps, so it installs cleanly as a hard dep without failing installs on unsupported platforms (it was a hard dep at 0.6.99 with remove-background at a healthy ~7%). - Move sharp + onnxruntime-node back to `dependencies` (so they install for everyone again). `@google/genai` stays optional — genuinely optional, lazy, and not part of the regression. - Keep the lazy guarded imports — they remain the crash-safety for capture. - Add trackCommandFailure to remove-background's catch: it self-exits, so the dispatch wrapper never saw it (the reason stream was blind). Now its failures carry a reason, closing that command from the wrapper-blind follow-up. remove-background tests + background-removal suite pass; tsc clean; build green.
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
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
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.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
Run rendering benchmarks:
npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html
doctor
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
