hyperframes/packages/producer

@hyperframes/producer

Full HTML-to-video rendering pipeline: capture frames with Chrome's BeginFrame API, encode with FFmpeg, mix audio — all in one call.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/producer

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded), FFmpeg

Usage

Render a video

import { createRenderJob, executeRenderJob } from "@hyperframes/producer";

const job = createRenderJob({
  inputPath: "./my-composition.html",
  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
});

const result = await executeRenderJob(job, (progress) => {
  console.log(`${Math.round(progress.percent * 100)}%`);
});

console.log(result.outputPath); // ./output.mp4

Run as an HTTP server

The producer can also run as a render server, accepting render requests over HTTP:

import { startServer } from "@hyperframes/producer";

await startServer({ port: 8080 });
// POST /render with a RenderConfig body

Configuration

RenderConfig controls the render pipeline:

Option	Default	Description
inputPath	—	Path to the HTML composition
outputPath	—	Output video file path
width	1920	Frame width in pixels
height	1080	Frame height in pixels
fps	30	Frames per second (24, 30, or 60)
quality	"standard"	Encoder preset ("draft", "standard", "high")

How it works

1. Serve — spins up a local file server for the HTML composition
2. Capture — opens the page in headless Chrome, seeks frame-by-frame via HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame, captures screenshots
3. Encode — pipes frames through FFmpeg (with GPU encoder detection and chunked concat)
4. Mix — extracts <audio> elements and mixes them into the final video
5. Finalize — applies faststart for streaming-friendly MP4
