Address Miguel's R1 blocker + Rames/Miga's testability nit: - The `-frames:v 3` decode samples AT MOST 3 frames; a legitimate 1- or 2-frame WebM (256 or 512 bytes) was returned as `undefined` (probe failure), silently skipping the advisory even when every available pixel was opaque. Accept any positive whole-frame byte count ≤ 768 (multiples of 256), distinguishing successful short-EOF from partial/ malformed decode. - Export `sampledAlphaIsFullyOpaque` and add 11 direct tests covering: 3/2/1-frame opaque decodes → true; transparent pixel at pos 0 or final byte → false (guards the alpha-byte stride); non-frame-multiple / over-3-frame / zero byte counts → undefined; execFileSync throw → undefined; findFFmpeg missing → undefined; and one args-shape guard pinning the load-bearing `-c:v libvpx-vp9` before `-i` (without which the default decoder silently discards VP9 alpha and the whole check would false-positive on genuinely-transparent WebMs). - Update advisory wording from "3 sampled decoded frames" to "every sampled decoded pixel" so the message is honest for short WebMs. 18/18 tests pass locally under `vitest run`.
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. 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
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
