## What - cap static-dedup verification at 15 seconds of wall-clock time - disable the optimization and continue normal capture when the verification budget is exhausted - add a regression that models the reported 350-second / ~8,400-frame alpha render ## Why Static-frame verification uses full-page screenshots. Its existing screenshot-count budget still scales with composition duration, so a long composition can spend minutes proving an optimization before frame capture starts. The reported 350.35-second ProRes alpha render spent about eight minutes in this phase before safely disabling dedup. ## How The verifier now records a deadline before seeking verification frames. It checks the deadline before every full-page capture and returns the existing fail-closed `budgetExhausted` result when time is exhausted. This keeps the existing density-based safety checks while bounding their startup cost. ## Test plan - [x] Unit tests added/updated - [ ] Manual testing performed - [ ] Documentation updated (not applicable) - [x] Focused engine test: 9/9 passed - [x] Engine typecheck passed - [x] Pre-commit lint, format, tracked-artifact, fallow, and typecheck gates passed - [x] Full engine suite: 988 passed, 3 skipped; 2 pre-existing environment failures because host FFmpeg 4.2 lacks `-fps_mode`
@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.
