Chromium throttles requestAnimationFrame in deeply nested cross-origin iframes. In Claude desktop (Electron), the composition iframe's own rAF loop stalls, so GSAP is never seeked and animation freezes even when TransportClock.isPlaying() is true. The correct fix is to drive ticks from the widget-frame rAF, which lives one level up and is not subject to the same throttling. When play() takes the runtime bridge path (no direct timeline adapter), the player now starts a parent-frame rAF loop that sends "tick" postMessages to the composition iframe on every frame. The runtime's control bridge handles "tick" by calling seekTimelineAndAdapters(clock.now()) if the clock is playing — identical to what transportTick does on each rAF, just driven from outside. The composition iframe's own rAF loop is unchanged and keeps running normally in standard browsers. Seeking GSAP twice per frame is idempotent, so there is no regression on claude.ai or any other non-throttled environment. Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
@hyperframes/core
Types, parsers, generators, compiler, linter, runtime, and frame adapters for the Hyperframes video framework.
Install
npm install @hyperframes/core
Most users don't need to install core directly — the CLI, producer, and studio packages depend on it internally.
What's inside
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| Types | TimelineElement, CompositionSpec, Asset, canvas dimensions, defaults |
| Parsers | parseHtml — extract timeline elements from HTML; parseGsapScript — parse GSAP animations |
| Generators | generateHyperframesHtml — produce valid Hyperframes HTML from a composition spec |
| Compiler | compileTimingAttrs — resolve data-start / data-duration into absolute times |
| Linter | lintHyperframeHtml — validate Hyperframes HTML (missing attributes, overlapping tracks, etc.) |
| Runtime | IIFE script injected into the browser — manages seek, media playback, and the window.__hf protocol |
| Frame Adapters | Pluggable animation drivers (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, or custom) |
Frame Adapters
A frame adapter tells the engine how to seek your animation to a specific frame:
import { createGSAPFrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";
const adapter = createGSAPFrameAdapter({
getTimeline: () => gsap.timeline(),
compositionId: "my-video",
});
Implement FrameAdapter for custom animation runtimes:
import type { FrameAdapter } from "@hyperframes/core";
const myAdapter: FrameAdapter = {
id: "my-adapter",
getDurationFrames: () => 300,
seekFrame: (frame) => {
/* seek your animation */
},
};
Parsing and generating HTML
import { parseHtml, generateHyperframesHtml } from "@hyperframes/core";
const { elements, metadata } = parseHtml(htmlString);
const html = generateHyperframesHtml(spec);
Linting
import { lintHyperframeHtml } from "@hyperframes/core/lint";
const result = lintHyperframeHtml(htmlString);
// result.findings: { severity, message, elementId }[]
