Miguel Ángel e7939ccd53 fix(cli): show output video length in render summary, not render time (#1812)
The render-complete summary printed `<fileSize> · <time> · completed`
where `<time>` was the wall-clock render duration. Presented as a bare
middle value, users read it as the video length and compared it to
ffprobe, repeatedly reporting a "wrong duration".

Show the actual output video length (from the perf summary's
compositionDurationSeconds, which equals the rendered frame span) as the
primary figure and label the render time explicitly:
`<fileSize> · <videoLength> video · rendered in <renderTime>`.

png-sequence (directory) output has no single muxed video, so it shows a
frame count instead; when neither is known the summary falls back to
render time only. Docker renders run the producer in a child process
with no perf summary threaded back, so they show render time only rather
than a misleading number.

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
