Miguel Ángel 58a370939c fix(studio): fix seek after code edit, improve scrub perf, add click-to-source (#881)
* feat(studio): html-backed motion panel — persist GSAP motion to element attributes

Re-architects the motion panel to store GSAP motion data as a JSON
data attribute (data-hf-studio-motion) on each element instead of a
.hyperframes/studio-motion.json sidecar file. Follows the same
pattern as position/resize/rotation edits: write to DOM, build patches,
persist to HTML source via commitPositionPatchToHtml.

Render pipeline: the studioPositionSeekReapplyRuntime now queries
[data-hf-studio-motion] elements after each seek, parses their JSON,
builds a GSAP timeline, and seeks it to the current frame time.

Studio preview: motion reapply is integrated into the manual edits seek
hook (reapplyPositionEditsAfterSeek). useManifestPersistence is slimmed
to only handle save queue and seek hooks.

* fix(studio): address PR review — html-escape attrs, cache timeline, migrate sidecar, add tests

Blocker: JSON attribute values are now HTML-entity-escaped before being
written into source HTML. Read-back unescapes automatically.

Perf: motion timeline is cached between seeks at render — only rebuilt
when the concatenated JSON key changes, not on every frame.

Migration: on mount, empties legacy .hyperframes/studio-motion.json so
the legacy render script no-ops.

Tests: 46 new tests for motion read/write/clear round-trips, JSON
attribute escaping, and source patcher entity handling.

Nits: removed unused activeCompositionPath param; tightened htmlCompiler
attribute substring check.

* fix(studio): fix seek after code edit, improve scrub performance, add click-to-source

Three issues addressed:

1. **Seek breaks after code edit**: During crossfade refreshes the retiring
   Player's cleanup unconditionally nulled `iframeRef.current`, clobbering the
   reference the new Player had already assigned. Guard the cleanup to only
   clear the ref when it still points to the retiring Player's own iframe.

2. **Scrubber/timeline drag jank**: Every pointermove during a drag called the
   full seek pipeline (adapter.seek + setCurrentTime + React re-render cascade).
   RAF-throttle the expensive onSeek call during drags while keeping slider and
   playhead visuals updated on every pointer event for instant feedback.

3. **Click-to-source**: Clicking an element in the preview now switches to the
   Code tab, opens the element's source file, and scrolls the editor to the
   element's opening tag. Uses the existing `findTagByTarget` source patcher to
   locate the element by id/selector in the HTML source.

* fix(studio): address PR review — gate click-to-source, fix fetch race, guard refs

- Gate click-to-source on Alt/Option+click so it doesn't steal the Code
  tab on every preview click, conflicting with select-to-inspect workflow
- Fix fetch race in openSourceForSelection: AbortController cancels the
  previous in-flight fetch, monotonic request ID prevents stale responses
  from applying the wrong file/offset
- Guard the callback-ref branch in Player cleanup (no-op — can't read
  back from a callback ref to check identity, and the path is unreachable
  today since the ref is always a MutableRefObject)
- Import SidebarTab type instead of duplicating the literal inline

@hyperframes/studio

Browser-based composition editor UI for Hyperframes. Provides a visual timeline, code editor, and live preview for building video compositions.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/studio

What it does

The studio is a React application with:

  • Visual timeline — drag, resize, and arrange elements on tracks
  • Code editor — edit HTML and GSAP scripts with CodeMirror (syntax highlighting, autocomplete)
  • Live preview — see changes in real time as you edit
  • Composition inspector — view and modify element properties

Development

The studio is embedded in the hyperframes preview command. To develop the studio UI itself:

cd packages/studio
bun run dev        # Start Vite dev server
bun run build      # Build for production
bun run typecheck  # Type-check

Tech stack

  • React 18/19, Zustand (state management)
  • CodeMirror 6 (editor)
  • Tailwind CSS (styling)
  • Vite (bundler)
  • Phosphor Icons
