Vance Ingalls 43337ae224 fix: add media rendering guardrails to prevent silent failures
Lint rules:
- media_missing_id (error): audio/video with data-start but no id
- media_missing_src (error): media with id but no src
- media_preload_none (warning): preload="none" blocks the renderer
- video_nested_in_timed_element upgraded from warning to error

Compiler:
- Strip preload="none" from media during compilation
- Fire-and-forget keyframe interval + VFR detection via ffprobe
- Warn on sparse keyframes (>2s) and variable frame rate videos

CLI:
- Shared lintProject() lints index.html + compositions/*.html
- Shared formatLintFindings() used by lint, render, and dev commands
- Pre-render lint: warns by default, --strict blocks on errors,
  --strict-all blocks on errors + warnings
- Pre-dev lint: prints issues for agents before starting studio
- Render orchestrator hints --workers 1 on parallel capture timeout

Refactor:
- Extract runFfprobe() + parseProbeJson() (~80 lines deduped)
- Extract shouldBlockRender() for testable strict flag logic
- Extract formatLintFindings() (3 consumers unified)

@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
