- core/runtime/getVariables.ts: collapse the noisy three-step type-guard
re-cast into a single `Record<string, unknown>` narrow with early-continue
guards. Same behaviour, ~6 lines shorter.
- cli/commands/render.ts: separate VariablesParseError from UI strings.
parseVariablesArg now returns a kind-discriminated error
(`conflict | read-error | parse-error | shape-error`) and the wrapper
resolveVariablesArg owns the title/message mapping via
`variablesErrorMessage`. Keeps the parser pure of presentation strings.
- cli/commands/render.test.ts: lift the `await import("./render.js")` into
a `beforeAll`, add a typed `expectErr` helper, assert on the structured
error kind instead of message-string regexes. Same coverage, less noise.
- engine/services/frameCapture.ts: replace the `as unknown as { ... }`
double-cast with a single named `WindowWithVariables` alias inside the
page closure.
All affected suites green (core getVariables 9, cli render 12, cli
dockerRunArgs 13).

@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.
