* feat(core): capture blur falls back to per-element filters where capture cannot run html-in-canvas cannot capture a WebGL canvas, an iframe or a transform on the root, and some browsers lack it. Blur used to turn off for the whole composition. Now the runtime hands the composition to a filter tier: an SVG filter on each mover, 32 offset copies averaged along its sampled path, softened along the motion so long smears do not step. It filters the live DOM, so it works over a WebGL canvas, in any Chrome, and leaves glows and shadows on the element. Turn and scale only soften; capture draws those truthfully, so it stays the first choice and a scene re-init tries it again. Capture turning itself off for a defect or three failed captures hands over; the renderer's explicit off (HDR, distributed, engine blur) stays off. The report names the tier. Core's unpacked size budget goes to 3,965,000 for the tier.

@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.
