title: "CLI guide"
description: "Find the HyperFrames command for creating, checking, rendering, publishing, and automating projects."
---
Use this page to choose a command. The [CLI reference](/packages/cli) contains
detailed flags, examples, and environment settings. The installed version
remains authoritative: run `npx hyperframes <command> --help`.
## Everyday project loop
| Task | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Create a project | `npx hyperframes init my-video` |
| Open Studio | `npx hyperframes preview` |
| Check HTML structure | `npx hyperframes lint` |
| Run browser, layout, motion, and contrast checks | `npx hyperframes check` |
| Capture review frames | `npx hyperframes snapshot --at 0,2,5` |
| Render a video | `npx hyperframes render --output output.mp4` |
| Publish a browser link | `npx hyperframes publish` |
| Diagnose the machine | `npx hyperframes doctor` |
| Free disk space HyperFrames used | `npx hyperframes clean` |
## Work with media
| Task | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Inspect project metadata | `npx hyperframes info` |
| Measure sound timing | `npx hyperframes audio <file>` |
| Transcribe speech | `npx hyperframes transcribe <file>` |
| Generate narration | `npx hyperframes tts <script>` |
| Capture a website | `npx hyperframes capture <url>` |
To measure the end of a long recording as if it started at 4 seconds in the
film, skip its first 30 minutes:
```bash
npx hyperframes audio recording.wav --place-at 4 --skip-file-seconds 1800 --only moments
```
The result warns if the skipped audio held the recording's loudest moment.
See [`audio` in the reference](/packages/cli#audio) for the available measurements.
## Reuse and inspect
| Task | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Add a Catalog item | `npx hyperframes add <name>` |
| List compositions | `npx hyperframes compositions` |
| Print tracks and clips | `npx hyperframes timeline` (`--json` for agents) |
| Inspect keyframe behavior | `npx hyperframes keyframes` |
| Compare two or more versions | `npx hyperframes compare v1/ v2/` |
`hyperframes timeline` also accepts agent editing verbs. Use `move`, `trim`, `split`, or `delete` with a row ref; add `--plan` to inspect the before/after rows and diff without writing, or `--json` for a machine-readable receipt. Time values accept seconds, relative offsets, frames, and anchors such as `after:#intro`.
For scripts, `npx hyperframes keyframes --runtime css --json` writes one JSON
result to stdout. Use `--runtime anime` for Anime.js. The static authoring
notice appears only in human-readable output.
## Rendering and automation
The CLI also renders in batches and from variables, writes image sequences and
several video formats, and runs in the cloud — managed, on AWS Lambda, or on
Google Cloud Run. Most commands take `--json` when you need to read the result from a script.
Start with the simple command, then open the [full reference](/packages/cli) for the exact options needed by automation or infrastructure.
Before preview and render, HyperFrames stops headless Chrome processes left
behind by crashed HyperFrames sessions. It only stops browsers that HyperFrames
launched, so detached browsers from other tools keep running. To skip this
cleanup, set `HYPERFRAMES_NO_ORPHAN_CLEANUP=1` in the calling environment:
```bash
HYPERFRAMES_NO_ORPHAN_CLEANUP=1 npx hyperframes preview ./my-video
```
Cleanup remains enabled by default. Disabling it leaves browsers from crashed
HyperFrames sessions running until you stop them yourself.
<Tip>
Run `npx hyperframes <command> --help` for the installed version’s exact syntax.
