* perf(engine): extraction cache on by default with atomic publish and LRU gc Warm re-renders now skip source-video frame extraction entirely (video_extract 400ms -> 13ms on a 4-video composition; outputs are pixel-identical, PSNR inf). What made default-on safe: - Atomic entry publish: frames extract into a unique .partial-<pid>-<uuid> dir, the completion sentinel is written there, and the dir is renamed into the final key atomically. Concurrent renders sharing a cache can duplicate work but can never serve a torn entry (previously documented as single-writer only). - Size-capped LRU gc: best-effort sweep after extraction evicts oldest-used entries past a 2 GiB default budget (HYPERFRAMES_EXTRACT_CACHE_MAX_MB) and clears crashed writers' partials. Entries younger than 60 min are never evicted so live renders keep their frames. - Default cache dir: <tmpdir>/hyperframes-extract-cache-<uid>. Opt out with HYPERFRAMES_EXTRACT_CACHE_DIR=off (or none/false/0); a non-writable dir degrades to uncached with a single warning instead of failing the render. * fix(engine): harden extraction cache publish and surface cache ops signals Review hardening for the default-on extraction cache: - Bypass the cache for HDR-converted intermediates: the key snapshot describes the original source, so publishing converted frames under it would poison later plain-SDR renders of the same trim. (The follow-up transform-keyed change re-enables caching for these.) - publishCacheEntry TOCTOU: adopt a concurrent writer's completed entry both before removing an apparently-stale dir and after a failed retry rename, so a winner's publish is never destroyed or reported as a failure. - Observability for the failure paths: cachePublishFailures, cacheGcEvictions, cacheGcBytesFreed, and cacheAgedPartialsCleared on ExtractionPhaseBreakdown; gcExtractionCache now returns sweep stats. * fix(engine): sweep superseded cache generations in gc After a SCHEMA_PREFIX bump, old-generation entries (hfcache-v2-*) no longer matched the sweep's prefix filter and would orphan their disk forever. The gc now matches any hfcache-v* generation; superseded entries never receive sentinel touches, so the LRU evicts them first.
@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,
releaseBrowser,
createCaptureSession,
initializeSession,
captureFrame,
closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";
// 1. Launch browser
const browser = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });
// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
browser: browser.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 releaseBrowser(browser);
Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
