* fix(player): drive composition ticks from widget-frame rAF via postMessage Chromium throttles requestAnimationFrame in deeply nested cross-origin iframes. In Claude desktop (Electron), the composition iframe's own rAF loop stalls, so GSAP is never seeked and animation freezes even when TransportClock.isPlaying() is true. The correct fix is to drive ticks from the widget-frame rAF, which lives one level up and is not subject to the same throttling. When play() takes the runtime bridge path (no direct timeline adapter), the player now starts a parent-frame rAF loop that sends "tick" postMessages to the composition iframe on every frame. The runtime's control bridge handles "tick" by calling seekTimelineAndAdapters(clock.now()) if the clock is playing — identical to what transportTick does on each rAF, just driven from outside. The composition iframe's own rAF loop is unchanged and keeps running normally in standard browsers. Seeking GSAP twice per frame is idempotent, so there is no regression on claude.ai or any other non-throttled environment.

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.
