The media_in_subcomposition rule blanket-errored every <video>/<audio>
inside a sub-composition, claiming nested media is "never seeked/decoded
and renders blank/black". This is false: the runtime discovers media with
a flat document.querySelectorAll("video, audio"), resolves each element's
host composition via closest("[data-composition-id]"), and rebases its
local data-start by the accumulated absolute start of every ancestor
composition (packages/core/src/runtime/{media,startResolver}.ts). Media
seeks and decodes at any nesting depth, verified end to end through the
producer render path.
- Remove the rule and flip its test to assert nested media is NOT flagged.
- Drop the now-dead media_in_subcomposition clause from the registry
components test.
- Drop the equivalent pre-render guard from the faceless-explainer and
pr-to-video assemble scripts.
- Correct the reference docs (hyperframes-core SKILL, data-attributes,
variables-and-media, composition-patterns; hyperframes-cli
lint-validate-inspect): media works at any depth. Preserve the one real
constraint, that a sub-comp timeline cannot reach host-root elements, so
host-root media motion is authored on the main timeline.
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. 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
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
