* feat(telemetry): attribute renders to the authoring workflow skill Add an optional `--skill` flag to `hyperframes render` and tag the `render_complete` / `render_error` events with `authoring_skill`, so render usage can be broken down per authoring workflow. The value is slug-gated (a malformed value is ignored) and the existing anonymous / opt-out telemetry pipeline is otherwise unchanged. Each end-user workflow that renders now passes `--skill=<name>` on its render command: embedded-captions, faceless-explainer, graphic-overlays, motion-graphics, music-to-video, pr-to-video, product-launch-video, remotion-to-hyperframes, website-to-video. Not instrumented, by design: general-video renders freeform with no canonical render command to attach to, and slideshow produces an interactive deck rather than a rendered video. Both can follow up if per-skill numbers are wanted. * fix(telemetry): address review — shared slug util, equals-form flag, invalid-value warning - Extract the SKILL_SLUG regex + a normalizeSkillSlug() helper into telemetry/skill.ts, shared by the `events` and `render` commands (the regex was duplicated). `render` adopts normalizeSkillSlug (so it now trims the value, matching `events`); `events` references the shared SKILL_SLUG. + unit test. - `render` warns on a non-empty but invalid --skill value (e.g. a camelCase typo) so attribution isn't silently lost — stderr only, never fails the render. - embedded-captions render script: `--skill embedded-captions` -> `--skill=embedded-captions`. On an older CLI that does not declare --skill, the space form leaks the value as a positional and clobbers the project dir (resolveProject fails); the equals form is parsed as a self-delimiting flag and safely ignored. Verified via Node parseArgs(strict:false). Addresses review feedback on the PR (shared util + .trim drift, version-skew safety, invalid-value visibility). --------- Co-authored-by: kiritowoo <295860553+kiritowoo@users.noreply.github.com>

# Remotion to HyperFrames
|
||
|
||
> **Confirm the route before you build.** Use this **only** to port an existing **Remotion** (React) composition's source into HyperFrames. Authoring a **new** composition (even one inspired by a Remotion video) → the creation workflows / `/general-video`. **Out of scope** (one-way, Remotion-only): no reverse export (HyperFrames → Remotion or any framework), and a **non-Remotion** source (After Effects, Framer Motion, plain React / CSS) has no Remotion source to translate → re-create via `/general-video`. Unsure, or only a passing Remotion mention? **Read `/hyperframes` first.**
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Translate Remotion (React-based) video compositions into HyperFrames (HTML + GSAP) compositions. Most Remotion idioms have direct HyperFrames equivalents — the translation is mechanical for ~80% of typical compositions. This skill encodes the mapping and guards against the lossy 20% by refusing to translate patterns that don't fit HF's seek-driven model and recommending the runtime interop pattern from [PR #214](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/214) instead.
|
||
|
||
The skill ships with a **tiered test corpus** (T1–T4, 4 fixtures total) that grades translations against measured SSIM thresholds. Don't translate without running the eval — a translation that "looks right" but renders 0.05 SSIM lower than the validated baseline is silently wrong.
|
||
|
||
## When to use
|
||
|
||
**Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly asks to migrate from Remotion.** Example trigger phrases:
|
||
|
||
- "port my Remotion project to HyperFrames"
|
||
- "convert this Remotion code to HyperFrames"
|
||
- "migrate from Remotion"
|
||
- "translate this Remotion comp"
|
||
- "rewrite this as HyperFrames HTML"
|
||
|
||
**Do NOT use this skill when:**
|
||
|
||
- (a) The user is authoring a **new** HyperFrames composition, even if they have or are A/B-testing a similar Remotion video.
|
||
- (b) The user mentions Remotion in passing without asking for migration.
|
||
- (c) The user shares Remotion code as reference material rather than asking for a translation.
|
||
- (d) The user asks for "the same video as my Remotion one" without explicitly asking to migrate the source — treat that as a fresh HyperFrames build.
|
||
|
||
**NOT SUPPORTED (decline — this is not what this skill does):**
|
||
|
||
- **The reverse direction.** Exporting a HyperFrames composition back out _to_ Remotion (or to any other framework) is not a workflow — the translation is Remotion → HyperFrames only. Say so plainly.
|
||
- **Non-Remotion sources.** An After Effects project (`.aep`), a Framer Motion / plain-React / CSS animation, or any other tool's source is not a Remotion composition — there is no Remotion source to translate. Re-create it natively via `/general-video`, or decline if HyperFrames can't represent it.
|
||
|
||
When in doubt, default to authoring a native HyperFrames composition with `/general-video` (the general HyperFrames authoring flow) instead.
|
||
|
||
## Workflow
|
||
|
||
### Step 1: Lint the source
|
||
|
||
Run [`scripts/lint_source.py`](scripts/lint_source.py) over the Remotion source directory. The lint detects patterns that can't translate cleanly:
|
||
|
||
- **Blockers** (refuse + recommend interop): `useState`, `useReducer`, `useEffect`/`useLayoutEffect` with non-empty deps, async `calculateMetadata`, third-party React UI libraries (MUI, Chakra, Mantine, antd, shadcn, Radix, NextUI).
|
||
- **Warnings** (translate after dropping the construct): `@remotion/lambda` config, `delayRender`, `useCallback`, `useMemo`, custom hooks.
|
||
- **Info** (translate with note): `staticFile`, `interpolateColors`.
|
||
|
||
If any blocker fires, **stop**. Read [`references/escape-hatch.md`](references/escape-hatch.md) and surface the recommendation message. Warnings don't stop translation — drop the offending construct in step 3 and note the gap in `TRANSLATION_NOTES.md`. `@remotion/lambda` config is the canonical warning case: the skill drops the import + `renderMediaOnLambda(...)` calls but translates the rest of the composition.
|
||
|
||
### Step 2: Plan the translation
|
||
|
||
Read [`references/api-map.md`](references/api-map.md) — the index of every Remotion API and its HF equivalent or per-topic reference. Identify which topic references you'll need based on what the source uses:
|
||
|
||
| Source contains | Load reference |
|
||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `Composition`, `defaultProps`, `schema`, `calculateMetadata` | [`parameters.md`](references/parameters.md) |
|
||
| `Sequence`, `Series`, `Loop`, `AbsoluteFill`, `Freeze` | [`sequencing.md`](references/sequencing.md) |
|
||
| `useCurrentFrame`, `interpolate`, `spring`, `Easing`, `interpolateColors` | [`timing.md`](references/timing.md) |
|
||
| `Audio`, `Video`, `Img`, `IFrame`, `staticFile`, `delayRender` | [`media.md`](references/media.md) |
|
||
| `TransitionSeries`, `@remotion/transitions` | [`transitions.md`](references/transitions.md) |
|
||
| `@remotion/lottie` | [`lottie.md`](references/lottie.md) |
|
||
| `@remotion/google-fonts/<Family>`, `Font.loadFont`, `@font-face` | [`fonts.md`](references/fonts.md) |
|
||
|
||
Don't load all of them — load only what the specific source needs.
|
||
|
||
### Step 3: Generate the HF composition
|
||
|
||
Emit `index.html` with:
|
||
|
||
- Root `<div id="stage">` carrying the composition's `data-composition-id`, `data-start="0"`, `data-duration` (in seconds), `data-fps`, `data-width`, `data-height`, plus one `data-*` per scalar prop.
|
||
- A flat list of scene divs with `data-start` / `data-duration` / `data-track-index`.
|
||
- Inline `<style>` for layout; CSS sets the `from` state of every animated property.
|
||
- A single `<script>` tag at the bottom containing one paused `gsap.timeline({paused: true})`. Every Remotion `useCurrentFrame()` derivation becomes a tween on this timeline at the right offset.
|
||
- `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"] = tl;` registers the timeline with HF's runtime.
|
||
|
||
Custom React subcomponents inline as repeated HTML using the prop interface as the template (see [`parameters.md`](references/parameters.md) for the per-instance `data-*` pattern).
|
||
|
||
### Step 4: Validate
|
||
|
||
Run the eval harness — [`references/eval.md`](references/eval.md) for the full guide. Quick path:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Render Remotion baseline (after npm install in the fixture)
|
||
cd remotion-src && npx remotion render <CompositionId> out/baseline.mp4
|
||
|
||
# Render HF translation
|
||
cd ../hf-src && npx hyperframes render --skill=remotion-to-hyperframes --output ../hf.mp4
|
||
|
||
# SSIM diff
|
||
../../scripts/render_diff.sh ./remotion-src/out/baseline.mp4 ./hf.mp4 ./diff
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Threshold: ~0.02 below `p05` of the source's complexity tier (see `eval.md`'s validated thresholds table). If the diff fails, run [`scripts/frame_strip.sh`](scripts/frame_strip.sh) to see _which_ frames diverged, then re-read the relevant timing/sequencing/media reference.
|
||
|
||
**Critical**: both renders must use matching pixel format. Set `Config.setVideoImageFormat("png")` + `Config.setColorSpace("bt709")` in the Remotion source's `remotion.config.ts` — otherwise the diff measures encoder differences (~0.05 SSIM hit), not translation fidelity.
|
||
|
||
### Step 5: Document gaps
|
||
|
||
Anything that didn't translate cleanly (volume ramps dropped, custom presentations approximated, fonts substituted) gets a `TRANSLATION_NOTES.md` written next to the HF output. See [`references/limitations.md`](references/limitations.md) for the format.
|
||
|
||
## What this skill explicitly does NOT do
|
||
|
||
- **Translate React state machines.** Compositions that drive animation via `useState` + `useEffect` are not deterministic frame-capture targets in HyperFrames' seek-driven model. Recommend the runtime interop pattern.
|
||
- **Run Remotion's render pipeline alongside HyperFrames.** That's the runtime interop pattern from [PR #214](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/214) — a separate solution for compositions that fail this skill's lint.
|
||
|
||
(`@remotion/lambda` is _not_ a blocker — Lambda config is deployment, not animation. The skill drops it as a warning and translates the rest. See [`references/escape-hatch.md`](references/escape-hatch.md).)
|
||
|
||
## How to grade your own translation
|
||
|
||
Run the test corpus orchestrator:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./assets/test-corpus/run.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It runs T1, T2, T3 (render + diff) and T4 (lint validation), prints a per-tier pass/fail table, and emits an aggregate JSON report. Use this to verify the skill is working end-to-end on a clean checkout — and as a regression check after editing any reference.
|
||
|
||
Validated baseline (as of 2026-04-27):
|
||
|
||
| Tier | Composition shape | Mean SSIM | Threshold |
|
||
| ---- | ------------------------------------------- | --------- | --------- |
|
||
| T1 | single-element fade-in | 0.974 | 0.95 |
|
||
| T2 | multi-scene + spring + audio + image | 0.985 | 0.95 |
|
||
| T3 | data-driven, custom subcomponents, count-up | 0.953 | 0.90 |
|
||
| T4 | escape-hatch (8 lint cases) | 8/8 pass | n/a |
