* fix(studio): fix capture button silent failures and broken CLI seek
The Capture button could silently fail with no user feedback due to
several compounding issues:
- The click handler's try-catch only covered the fetch call, leaving
waitForPendingDomEditSaves() and URL construction unprotected. Any
error there became an unhandled promise rejection with zero UI
feedback. Wrap the entire handler body in try-catch.
- No timeout on the fetch or save-queue drain, so a hung server or
stuck save queue caused the button to appear permanently broken.
Add a 30s AbortController timeout on the fetch and a 5s race
timeout on waitForPendingDomEditSaves.
- The CLI server's thumbnail seek used `__timeline` (singular) which
doesn't exist — the runtime registers `__timelines` (plural). Also
used `.seek()` instead of `.pause(t)` and didn't kick the GSAP
ticker. Align with the Vite adapter's working seek logic.
- The CLI server's getThumbnailBrowser and generateThumbnail catch
blocks swallowed all errors silently — Chrome launch failures and
screenshot errors were invisible. Add console.warn logging.
- Parse the JSON error body from the server so the toast shows the
actual message ("Chrome browser may not be available") instead of
just "Capture failed (500)".
Closes #902
* fix(cli): apply same seek fix to snapshot command, address review nits
- Fix snapshot.ts seek logic: same __timeline→__timelines + .pause(t)
+ gsap ticker kick fix as studioServer.ts (caught by Vai's review)
- Use typed Window shape in waitForFunction instead of (window as any)
- Use function-form page.evaluate for document.fonts?.ready
* fix(cli): force screenshot mode for thumbnail browser on Linux
Root cause: on Linux, acquireBrowser defaults to beginframe mode
(--enable-begin-frame-control) which makes page.screenshot() hang
indefinitely — beginframe mode expects CDP HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame
commands, not Puppeteer's Page.captureScreenshot.
Pass forceScreenshot: true and captureMode: "screenshot" so the
thumbnail browser always uses screenshot-compatible Chrome flags.
Reproduced on Linux devbox: thumbnail endpoint hung >30s with
beginframe flags; returns a valid PNG instantly in screenshot mode.
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.
