* fix(inspector): report nested hosts' authored window, one location per source line The runtime strips data-duration/data-end from nested composition hosts after boot and keeps them as data-hf-authored-*. Timeline inspection built its resolver without authored attrs, so a host with data-duration="4" reported its GSAP timeline length (3.72s) instead. Timeline text and events[].sources listed the same file:line once per mapped snippet (creation, caller, dependency), so a one-line script printed one location up to nine times. * refactor(inspector): carry the dedupe reason in the helper's name * fix(inspector): end continuation on a page that fits no snippet; fill budget with candidates * fix(inspector): timeline groups by component, names attr values, eases, film end * fix(studio-server): stamp hf ids into a file without reformatting it * fix(inspector): find an element's tag before its served hf id reaches the source * fix(inspector): live element map shows authored classes and text, not the playhead's * fix(inspector): collapse script-built text so the element map ignores the playhead Class names stay in source order, a runtime-stripped id is shown as id="…" rather than a selector, and a grouped row names which children it covers. * fix(inspector): keep paging, stamping, and the live map still on the reported edges A snippet larger than the page ended the walk, so later snippets could not be reached. Raw text ended at a longer tag name, which could stamp an id inside a script. An empty or mixed source element showed live text, and an unknown duration read as a film that ends at 0s. * fix(inspector): mint ids for an empty hf id and keep an unquoted class An empty data-hf-id was treated as already assigned, so stamping left it blank while the older stamper minted one. An unquoted class was read as no class, so the live map dropped it. * fix(inspector): narrow markup before reading a child tag skipMarkup returns a boolean, so the build still sees Markup where a tag is required. Narrow on the kind first so the inspector typechecks. * fix: quiet check false positives and name the ancestor of an id-less target Endpoint contact, disjoint fromTo pairs, and a negative z-index under a stacking-context parent were warnings with bad advice. Layout and contrast blamed a dot grid, a circular avatar's panel, and a visibility override. A faint texture veil is no longer the click target. * fix(lint): drop a history sentence and six gsap comments The comments check treats "load-bearing" as history, and gsap.ts added six comment lines. The names already carry what those lines said. * fix(parsers): ignore an empty id written inside another attribute The empty-id scan matched the first data-hf-id="" in the tag, including one inside a quoted title. It now skips quoted text, so the real attribute is minted. * fix(lint): keep real covers and a negative z-index under a card A gradient scale-down treated every fill like a radial dot, so a panel that starts transparent stopped counting as a cover. A stacking context on any ancestor cleared a negative z-index, and a faint wrapper made images inside it unpickable. * fix: keep an emoji from shifting a stamped id The quote mask replaced one emoji with one space, so the id landed before the closing quote. A radial cover that turns opaque after a clear stop stays fully painted. * fix(lint): score a letter-only dot as a dot, not a color name namesAColor saw #fff and rgba as words, so those dot grids counted as a full cover. Hex and rgb colors are stripped before that word check.
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: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
render
Render a composition to MP4. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
A render stops when the process that started it exits. To keep one running after
its launcher exits, set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 and start it in its own
process group, e.g. bash -c 'set -m; HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 npx hyperframes render -o out.mp4 < /dev/null > render.log 2>&1 &'.
publish
Upload a project directory and get a hosted URL that keeps working after the CLI exits. Published projects are private by default:
npx hyperframes publish
npx hyperframes publish ./my-video
npx hyperframes publish --public
npx hyperframes publish --yes
Signed-out publishing returns an authentication-required claim URL; opening it
lets someone sign in and claim the project. Sign in first with
npx hyperframes auth login to publish an owned project you can update. Use
--public to make the claimed project visible to anyone. --yes only skips the
confirmation prompt and does not change visibility.
Signed-in publishers can use --update <url-or-id> to target an existing project
or --space <space-id> to publish into a shared team space. If the requested
project is missing or inaccessible, publishing can create a new project instead;
check the printed URL and status.
See the publish reference for all options, including video proxy settings.
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
docs
Open the documentation in your browser:
npx hyperframes docs
upgrade
Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:
npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json # machine-readable for agents
