Miguel Ángel 1230657ed0 fix(studio,runtime,engine,compiler): 8 bug fixes — audio, render, timeline, Lottie, thumbnails, video render (#133)
## Summary

**Original 5 bugs fixed:**

- **Bug 1 — Audio silent after seek**: Added `Accept-Ranges` / `Content-Length` + `206 Partial Content` to the static asset server for byte-range seeking.
- **Bug 2 — Download 404 after restart**: Render list endpoint now registers on-disk renders into the in-memory job map.
- **Bug 3 — Timeline stops at GSAP end**: `resolveRootTimelineFromDocument` pads the GSAP timeline to match `data-duration` when the composition declares longer.
- **Bug 4 — Render stuck at 0%**: Store `jobState` reference (not spread copy) so async progress mutations reach the SSE stream.
- **Bug 5 — Lottie missing in preview/render**: Two fixes — (a) moved Lottie adapter before GSAP so `onUpdate` wins; (b) fixed bundler silently dropping external CDN `\<script src>` tags from sub-compositions (root cause: `$content(s).html()` returns `""` for external scripts).

**3 additional bugs fixed:**

- **Bug 6 — Blank thumbnails outside monorepo**: Implemented `generateThumbnail` in the CLI adapter using Puppeteer.
- **Bug 7 — Video empty in rendered sub-compositions**: Fixed `parseVideoElements` selector from `video[id][src]` to `video[src][data-start]` + auto-assign IDs.
- **Render errors**: Failed renders now show their error message in the renders panel.

## Commits

| `7cf38ca` | fix(runtime): fix Lottie adapter conflicting with GSAP-driven animations |
| `bc99209` | fix(studio): surface render error messages in the renders panel |
| `8fc9e8b` | fix(cli): implement generateThumbnail in studio adapter |
| `90277ea` | fix(engine): render videos inside sub-compositions that lack an explicit id |
| `f5bb579` | fix(compiler): preserve external CDN scripts from sub-compositions in bundle |

## Test plan

- [x] `golden-lyric-video`: seek → audio plays from seeked position
- [x] Any project: render → progress advances past 0%, reaches 100%
- [x] Any project: complete render, restart `hyperframes dev`, Download → works
- [x] `intro-vid`: play → runs full 5s (not stopping at 3s)
- [x] `hyperframe-build-up-demo`: play → rocket Lottie visible during 0-2s  verified
- [x] Outside monorepo: Compositions sidebar shows thumbnail images (not blank)
- [x] `bug.zip` project: render → video in polaroid sub-composition appears in output
- [x] Trigger a failed render → error message shown

@hyperframes/producer

Full HTML-to-video rendering pipeline: capture frames with Chrome's BeginFrame API, encode with FFmpeg, mix audio — all in one call.

Install

npm install @hyperframes/producer

Requirements: Node.js >= 22, Chrome/Chromium (auto-downloaded), FFmpeg

Usage

Render a video

import { createRenderJob, executeRenderJob } from "@hyperframes/producer";

const job = createRenderJob({
  inputPath: "./my-composition.html",
  outputPath: "./output.mp4",
  width: 1920,
  height: 1080,
  fps: 30,
});

const result = await executeRenderJob(job, (progress) => {
  console.log(`${Math.round(progress.percent * 100)}%`);
});

console.log(result.outputPath); // ./output.mp4

Run as an HTTP server

The producer can also run as a render server, accepting render requests over HTTP:

import { startServer } from "@hyperframes/producer";

await startServer({ port: 8080 });
// POST /render with a RenderConfig body

Configuration

RenderConfig controls the render pipeline:

Option Default Description
inputPath Path to the HTML composition
outputPath Output video file path
width 1920 Frame width in pixels
height 1080 Frame height in pixels
fps 30 Frames per second (24, 30, or 60)
quality "standard" Encoder preset ("draft", "standard", "high")

How it works

  1. Serve — spins up a local file server for the HTML composition
  2. Capture — opens the page in headless Chrome, seeks frame-by-frame via HeadlessExperimental.beginFrame, captures screenshots
  3. Encode — pipes frames through FFmpeg (with GPU encoder detection and chunked concat)
  4. Mix — extracts <audio> elements and mixes them into the final video
  5. Finalize — applies faststart for streaming-friendly MP4
