Part of Phase 2 of the distributed rendering plan (determinism hardening).
See DISTRIBUTED-RENDERING-PLAN.md §5.2 (warmupTicks row) and §17.2 (gating
table).
The BeginFrame warmup loop in `initializeSession` is driven by wall-clock
during page load — different hosts accumulate different tick counts before
page-readiness completes. That shifts `session.beginFrameTimeTicks` and
yields non-byte-identical captures on distributed workers.
This change adds `lockWarmupTicks: boolean` (default false) to
`CaptureOptions`. When false, behavior is unchanged. When true, the loop
runs exactly `LOCKED_WARMUP_TICKS = 60` iterations regardless of page-load
wall clock, and `session.beginFrameTimeTicks` is computed from the
constant — pinning the baseline across hosts.
Refactoring:
- Extract `driveWarmupTicks(options, state)` as a pure helper. Tests
drive it with a stub `tick` callback and an injected `sleep`, so the
iteration-count contract is unit-testable without real Chrome.
- `initializeSession`'s warmup body is now a thin adapter that calls
`driveWarmupTicks` with a CDP-backed tick.
Producer regression baselines remain byte-identical: the in-process
renderer never passes `lockWarmupTicks: true`. Phase 3 distributed
primitives will flip it true when launching chunk workers.
11 new unit tests at packages/engine/src/services/
frameCapture-warmupTicks.test.ts pin both branches (unlocked drifts with
simulated load time; locked produces identical counts).
This is part of a stack of 10 PRs; this is PR 3 of 10.

@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.
