## Summary Studio manual geometry edits now persist as a project-local manifest instead of being baked into composition source on each gesture. The manifest lives at: ```text .hyperframes/studio-manual-edits.json ``` It is the source of truth for manual drag, resize, rotation, inspector geometry edits, group moves, and selected-layer reset. ## Architecture - **Manifest-backed edits**: each edit stores a kind (`path-offset`, `box-size`, `rotation`), a source-scoped target, and the edit values. - **Source-scoped resolution**: targets include `sourceFile`, `id`, `selector`, and `selectorIndex`, so duplicate selectors in nested compositions resolve against the owning source file. - **Additive CSS layer**: move uses CSS `translate`, resize writes stable dimensions/flex sizing, and rotation uses CSS `rotate` over the authored base. - **Shared replay runtime**: Studio preview, thumbnails, frame capture, producer renders, and CLI Studio renders/thumbnails all use the same core manual-edit render script. - **Animation-safe replay**: Studio reapplies the manual layer after load, refresh, timeline seeks, player operations, playback frames, thumbnail seeks, and render seeks instead of rewriting GSAP timelines. - **History and handoff**: the manifest is a normal project file, so undo/redo and agent edits can preserve, modify, or remove manual visual edits explicitly. ## User Impact Users can move, resize, rotate, group-move, and reset supported layers from the canvas or inspector, then refresh, capture thumbnails/screenshots, play animated compositions, and render videos without manual edits drifting away from the edited state. ## Main Files - `packages/studio/src/components/editor/manualEdits.ts` - `packages/studio/src/components/editor/DomEditOverlay.tsx` - `packages/studio/src/components/editor/PropertyPanel.tsx` - `packages/studio/src/App.tsx` - `packages/core/src/studio-api/helpers/manualEditsRenderScript.ts` - `packages/studio/vite.config.ts` - `packages/cli/src/server/studioServer.ts` - `packages/core/src/compiler/htmlBundler.ts` - `packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.ts` - `packages/core/src/studio-api/routes/thumbnail.ts` - `packages/producer/src/services/fileServer.ts` - `packages/producer/src/services/renderOrchestrator.ts` ## Test Plan ```bash volta run --node 22.20.0 bun run build volta run --node 22.20.0 bun run --filter @hyperframes/core test -- src/studio-api/helpers/manualEditsRenderScript.test.ts volta run --node 22.20.0 bun run --filter @hyperframes/core typecheck volta run --node 22.20.0 bun run --filter @hyperframes/studio typecheck volta run --node 22.20.0 bun run --filter @hyperframes/cli typecheck volta run --node 22.20.0 bunx oxlint <changed files> volta run --node 22.20.0 bunx oxfmt --check <changed files> git diff --check ```
hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4:
npx hyperframes render ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
lint
Validate your Hyperframes HTML:
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose # Include info-level findings
By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
Run rendering benchmarks:
npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html
doctor
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
docs
Open the documentation in your browser:
npx hyperframes docs
