## Summary Compositions with HDR video AND DOM overlays (text, graphics, SDR video) couldn't render both correctly — either HDR data was lost (Chrome captures sRGB only) or DOM overlays were missing (FFmpeg pass-through skips Chrome). This PR adds in-memory alpha compositing that combines both. ## What it does **Per-frame two-pass capture:** 1. **DOM pass** — Chrome screenshots the page with a transparent background (CDP alpha). HDR videos are hidden, leaving transparent holes where they go. 2. **HDR pass** — Pre-extracted native HLG/PQ frames (16-bit PNG from FFmpeg) are read from disk. 3. **Composite** — DOM pixels (sRGB RGBA8) are alpha-composited over HDR pixels (rgb48le) in Node.js memory, with sRGB→HLG/PQ conversion via a 256-entry lookup table. **Key components:** - `decodePng()` / `decodePngToRgb48le()` — Pure Node.js PNG decoders (no native dependencies). Support all 5 PNG filter types. - `blitRgba8OverRgb48le()` — Alpha composite with per-pixel sRGB→HDR LUT conversion. Fast paths for alpha=0 (skip) and alpha=255 (overwrite). - `initTransparentBackground()` + `captureAlphaPng()` — Split CDP transparent background setup (once) from per-frame screenshot capture (eliminates 2 CDP round-trips per frame). - Single-pass FFmpeg extraction — All HDR frames extracted in one sequential FFmpeg run (avoids duplicate frames from per-frame `-ss` fast seek). ## Key design decisions | Decision | Why | |----------|-----| | In-memory compositing (not FFmpeg overlay) | Eliminates ~2400 process spawns + temp files per render. Pure pixel math is 10x faster. | | 16-bit PNG intermediate | Raw `-f rawvideo` loses color metadata, causing moiré artifacts. PNG is self-describing. | | sRGB→HLG LUT (256 entries) | DOM content is sRGB. Without conversion, it appears orange-shifted in HLG stream. | | Native HDR detection before extraction | `extractAllVideoFrames` converts SDR→HDR. Pre-extraction probe identifies original HDR sources so only truly-HDR videos get native extraction. | ## Files changed | File | What changed | |------|-------------| | `packages/engine/src/utils/alphaBlit.ts` | **NEW** — PNG decode, sRGB→HDR LUT, alpha compositing (14 tests) | | `packages/engine/src/services/screenshotService.ts` | Transparent background CDP, `captureAlphaPng()` | | `packages/engine/src/services/videoFrameInjector.ts` | `hideVideoElements()` / `showVideoElements()` | | `packages/engine/src/services/streamingEncoder.ts` | Input color space tags for rgb48le | | `packages/producer/src/services/renderOrchestrator.ts` | Two-pass HDR capture loop, native HDR detection | ## How to test Render a composition with an HDR video background and text overlays. Both should be visible — HDR video at full quality, text crisp with correct colors (not orange-shifted). ## Stack position **3 of 6** — Stacked on #265 (HDR output pipeline). This is the foundation for all layered compositing that follows. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
@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
- Serve — spins up a local file server for the HTML composition
- Capture — opens the page in headless Chrome, seeks frame-by-frame via
HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame, captures screenshots - Encode — pipes frames through FFmpeg (with GPU encoder detection and chunked concat)
- Mix — extracts
<audio>elements and mixes them into the final video - Finalize — applies faststart for streaming-friendly MP4
