## Summary PR 3 of 5 in the hf#732 decomposition stack. Adds a `worker_threads`-based pool that runs the shader-transition blend (one of 15 transition shaders) on a fixed-size worker pool. **No production wiring yet** — the pool stands alone; PR 4 wires it. The shader blend is a hot inner loop over every pixel of every transition frame at 16bpc. Moving it off the main event loop removes the JS-event-loop ceiling that capped throughput in earlier hf#732 iterations. ### New files - `packages/producer/src/services/shaderTransitionWorker.ts` — worker entry. Imports from `@hyperframes/engine/shader-transitions` (zero-import TS source). - `packages/producer/src/services/shaderTransitionWorkerPool.ts` — fixed-size pool. Uses `transferList` so the 16bpc HDR `from`/`to`/`out` buffers move by ownership. - `packages/producer/src/services/shaderTransitionWorkerPool.test.ts` — 6 vitest tests pinning byte-equivalence across all 15 shaders, transferList correctness, pool lifecycle. All pass. ### Build wiring - `packages/cli/tsup.config.ts`: third tsup entry emits `dist/shaderTransitionWorker.js`. - `packages/producer/build.mjs`: fourth esbuild entry for direct producer consumers. - `packages/engine/package.json`: adds `./shader-transitions` subpath export. ## Stack Stacked on top of #757 (PR 2: pngDecodeBlit pool). No behavior change in any render. ## Test plan - [x] 6 pool tests pass - [x] Producer + engine typecheck clean - [x] oxlint clean — Vai
@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.
