Miguel Ángel aab7377400 feat(core): spring physics solver + runtime fixes [2/6] (#1168)
* feat(core): GSAP keyframe parsing, mutations, and API routes

* feat(core): spring physics solver + runtime fixes + spring ease editor

* feat(core): spring physics solver + runtime fixes + spring ease editor

Revert totalTime nudge that caused black first frames in from() tweens.
Keep stale CSS offset cleanup. Regenerate baselines for offset cleanup.

* ci: trigger regression run

* fix(producer): use video stream duration for PSNR checkpoint range

The regression harness used container duration (format.duration) to
compute PSNR checkpoints. Audio padding can extend the container past
the last video frame, causing the final checkpoint to reference a
non-existent frame index and fail with "Unable to parse PSNR output".

Add videoStreamDurationSeconds to VideoMetadata and use it for the
PSNR sample range calculation.

* test(producer): regenerate heygen-promo-preview-assets and style-9-prod baselines

Baselines regenerated inside Dockerfile.test on the devbox to match
the current runtime init.ts changes. Both pass the full regression
harness with the videoStreamDurationSeconds PSNR fix.

* test(producer): allow 2-frame PSNR tolerance for style-9-prod

A single transition frame at 10.742s renders with marginal PSNR
(26.6 dB vs 30 threshold) on CI runners but passes on the devbox
Docker image. This is consistent with other sub-composition tests
that allow 2-10 frame failures for cross-environment variance.

@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,
  releaseBrowser,
  createCaptureSession,
  initializeSession,
  captureFrame,
  closeCaptureSession,
} from "@hyperframes/engine";

// 1. Launch browser
const browser = await acquireBrowser({ captureMode: "beginFrame" });

// 2. Open a capture session
const session = createCaptureSession({
  browser: browser.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 releaseBrowser(browser);

Most users should use @hyperframes/producer or the hyperframes CLI instead of calling the engine directly.
