* fix(cli): audio windows read beats off the whole clip; beats snap to the signal and mark silence A film query that covers part of a clip measures beats, downbeats, bpm and sections on the whole clip and cuts them to the window, as #6653 did for kind, so a window under 6 s still has its beats. One step after every provider ladder moves a provider's beats and downbeats onto the signal's own beats within a quarter beat (the snapping api did alone) and marks each with `silent`, true where the beat falls in silence. Beats are marked, never dropped; the JSON change is the additive `silent` array. — Jerrai * fix(cli): beats with no pulse are unheard; a window with none answers no steady beat Review fixes for #6692: - The per-beat flag is now `unheard` (renamed from `silent`, not released): true in silence or where no onset falls within 50 ms of the beat, so hiss, room tone or a held pad no longer pass as beats. - A window keeps the whole clip's beats only when at least two of its beats are heard; otherwise it answers "no steady beat" as before, with no downbeats and no bpm. - A window's bpm is the tempo of its heard beats, never the whole clip's. - Comment lines trimmed so analyze.ts, run.ts and api.ts are at or under main's share. — Jerrai * fix(cli): a beat is unheard only where two beats in a row have no onset Scored on the ground-truth set, flagging every onset-less beat also flagged heard beats the onset detector misses: the drop downbeat after a snare roll, single beats under narration, quiet beats late in a fade. A pulse gap now needs two onset-less beats in a row; hiss, room tone and held pads span many beats and stay flagged, and silence is flagged as before. — Jerrai * fix(cli): a window with no pulse on the clip's grid reads its own beats, as before Genesis found a window over a section far under the clip's loudest part answered "no steady beat" where main, reading the window alone, found every beat: the clip's grid and onsets skip a section that quiet (from about 40 dB under, for clicks). When a window keeps fewer than two heard beats from the clip's grid, its beats, downbeats and bpm now come from the window alone, as they did on main. Hiss still answers "no steady beat" on its own. The hiss test's noise() repeats every 10,466 samples (0.22 s at 48 kHz), which the window's own reading took for a pulse; that test now uses a xorshift generator. — Jerrai * fix(audio): unheard comes from level-free rhythm evidence, so quiet music stays heard A beat was flagged by an absolute -50 dBFS silence and by onsets under 10% of the clip's loudest hit, so music 30 dB or more under the loudest part read as unheard. Now: - core localBeatEvidence reads the cached standardised onset curve over the 6 s around each beat: the tracker's steady-beat confidence there (clarity at the local beat lag times the beat's own lift) and the beat's lift over the span's mean. - A beat is unheard in digital silence (-80 dBFS), or when its span keeps no steady beat (confidence under 0.15) and its own onset does not stand out (lift under 1.5). Lift alone keeps beats under narration heard, where syllables lower the span's clarity. - A window keeps the clip's beats when at least two, and at least half, of them are heard. — Jerrai
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.
audio
Measure where sounds land: onsets, the moment each sound peaks, loudness and silence. Give files, or query the film's own clips in film time:
npx hyperframes audio sfx/whoosh.mp3
npx hyperframes audio --at 12 --json
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
A render stops when the process that started it exits. To keep one running after
its launcher exits, set HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 and start it in its own
process group, e.g. bash -c 'set -m; HYPERFRAMES_RENDER_DETACHED=1 npx hyperframes render -o out.mp4 < /dev/null > render.log 2>&1 &'.
Piped, non-quiet renders emit a single @hf-diagnostic JSON line when an audio
failure reaches the CLI error handler. Version 1 has operation: "render" and
at most 16 audioFailures: allowlisted stage, reason, owner, retryable, and
optional subprocess exit code, signal, termination reason and OS code. It omits
messages, stderr, source paths/URLs, element IDs and command arguments. Consumers
must ignore unknown versions and fields. This is local CLI output; uploading it
requires the caller's existing consent and privacy checks. Quiet mode (including
batch JSON mode) emits no diagnostic line.
This covers audio preparation and mix failures, including the typed external interruption path. Probe failures retain their existing stage/reason but do not gain subprocess evidence here; browser/FX failures remain classified as internal. Desktop ingestion and live report delivery are separate changes.
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.
