* fix(studio): recover previews after missed file changes * fix(studio): keep queued reloads with the current owner * fix(studio): keep a queued outside change when switching compositions * test(cli): the project watcher closes its parent folder's watch too * fix(studio): keep the project-folder change out of the shared signature check * fix(studio): keep the edited file's draft and reload every session after a reconnect A reconnect or replaced folder is a project-wide change: every open SDK session reloads, a failed save is recorded against the file the draft belongs to, and two queued changes to different files merge into one project-wide reload. * fix(studio): refresh the preview cache when the .hyperframes folder is replaced * fix(cli): report the files of a folder moved into the project Replacing a populated folder such as .hyperframes/ now reaches the signature cache through its files, so the shared signature rule stays as on main and Studio's own writes inside .hyperframes/ still invalidate nothing. * refactor(studio): name the merged file-change payload and share the test sender * fix(studio): keep a failed draft's recovery copy until that file itself saves * style(studio): rewrap the merged payload line after the rename * fix(studio): deliver a held change's full reload when its block clears A clean save, Use external and Keep Studio now all deliver the merged scope a blocked change owes, and a moved-in .hyperframes folder reports its manifests so a dropped one still clears the cached signature. * fix(studio): keep restored drafts out of the reload scope and clear the lint gates * fix(studio): retain held reload scope before React renders
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: http://localhost:3002/#project/my-video
# Server: http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
In an interactive terminal, the preview stays attached until you press
Ctrl+C. In a non-interactive shell such as a coding-agent session, the same
command starts a managed preview that survives after the command returns. Use
--background or --foreground to choose explicitly, and manage persistent
previews with --status, --stop, --list, and --kill-all. Add --json to
managed lifecycle commands for machine-readable output. --foreground --json
prints the ready-session envelope once, then remains attached until stopped.
normalize-audio
Measure two local authored audio clips with integrated LUFS and match the target
to the unchanged reference. The command is a dry run unless --write is passed:
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio
npx hyperframes normalize-audio --reference target-audio --target user-audio --write
It updates only the target element's data-volume and refuses unsafe boosts
that exceed Studio's +12 dB ceiling or would clip.
render
Render a composition to MP4. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
Set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 when starting a render with nohup or
disown so it keeps running after the invoking shell exits.
publish
Upload a project directory and get a hosted URL that keeps working after the CLI exits. Published projects are private by default:
npx hyperframes publish
npx hyperframes publish ./my-video
npx hyperframes publish --public
npx hyperframes publish --yes
Signed-out publishing returns an authentication-required claim URL; opening it
lets someone sign in and claim the project. Sign in first with
npx hyperframes auth login to publish an owned project you can update. Use
--public to make the claimed project visible to anyone. --yes only skips the
confirmation prompt and does not change visibility.
Signed-in publishers can use --update <url-or-id> to target an existing project
or --space <space-id> to publish into a shared team space. If the requested
project is missing or inaccessible, publishing can create a new project instead;
check the printed URL and status.
See the publish reference for all options, including video proxy settings.
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
upgrade
Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:
npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json # machine-readable for agents
