Overlay doctrine for the embedded-captions workflow — the caption MODEL (drop / rail / embed) and the rule that captions are an OVERLAY composited on top of the film, never a reserved bottom band you shift content up to avoid. Load when adding captions/subtitles to a talking-head or launch video, when deciding whether…
Turn a weekly changelog .md into a finished branded changelog video (square 1080, 45-60s, Annie VO, animated brand background, mock-UI visualizations, lowkey captions). Use when the user provides a changelog/digest markdown and wants the weekly video, or says "changelog video". Self-contained — fonts, background…
The technique catalog: five velocity-matched SEAMS (zoom-through, INVERSE zoom-through, cut-the-curve, waterfall cut, rack-focus blur-cut) plus the two in-scene techniques — waterfall ENTRY (staggered arrival cascades for title cards / segment openers) and the nudge curve (slow-fast-slow three-phase group slides).…
GATEWAY — load FIRST before composing any HyperFrames animation or video. The high-level motion law that makes a multi-scene video feel like ONE continuous camera move instead of a stack of independently-animated slides. Covers the vector law (how you exit determines how you enter, incl. the Z scale-sign rule), the…
House-style oversized macOS cursor technique for HyperFrames launch videos. Load whenever a scene involves cursors or a pointer-led action, when kicking off a UI scene, when igniting a morph/transition/typing run with a click, or when a scene reads as static, dead, or stale and needs a cheap high-yield source of…
Render-correctness doctrine for scene-to-scene seams in HyperFrames launch videos — the prerequisites that make transitions composite correctly on the master timeline. Load when assembling the master timeline / index.html, when a white flash appears at a cut or crossfade seam (especially on dark films), when reasoning…
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet…
Turn arbitrary text — an article, notes, a topic, a brief — into a faceless explainer video: there is no site or footage to capture, so the visuals are invented per scene (typography, abstract graphics, diagrams, data-viz). Use for topic explainers, concept breakdowns, how-tos, listicles. Not a video built from a…
Import Figma content into a HyperFrames composition — rendered assets, brand tokens, components, storyboard sections → reconstructed motion (frames read as states, not slides) (REST/CLI), connector-assisted motion when available, and shaders from a connector or native export. Use when the user pastes a figma.com link…
Author or edit a custom HyperFrames composition when no specialized workflow fits, or when BRIEF.md sets flow: companion. Use for longer or multi-scene pieces, brand and sizzle reels, montages, static loops, static title cards, footage remixes, and freeform builds. Use motion-graphics instead for a short unnarrated…
All animation knowledge for HyperFrames — atomic motion rules, multi-phase scene blueprints, scene transitions, broader motion-design techniques, AND the seven runtime adapters (GSAP default, plus Lottie, Three.js, Anime.js, CSS keyframes, Web Animations API, TypeGPU). Use for any motion or animation task: pick 2-4…
Use when audio already placed in a HyperFrames composition needs to be mixed: fade-in/fade-out, crossfade, track gain or volume, volume automation, ducking, a music bed that fights a voiceover (voiceover carve), effects on a track (EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, saturation, delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, bitcrush)…
The HyperFrames composition contract — build one renderable project. Use for composition structure, the data- timing attributes, class="clip", tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, deterministic-render rules, and validation. Also covers Tailwind projects and the STORYBOARD.md / SCRIPT.md…
Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use hyperframes-animation.
Use when a HyperFrames composition needs a punch-in, punch-out, zoom, reframe, Ken Burns treatment, camera move, visual match/whip handoff, or other seek-safe 2D/3D keyframes; also for GSAP, CSS keyframes, Anime.js, WAAPI, FLIP, paths, masks, SVG morph/draw, text trails, 3D depth, or hyperframes keyframes diagnostics.…
Install, discover, and wire registry blocks and components into HyperFrames compositions. Use when running hyperframes add or hyperframes catalog, installing one item or every block matching a tag, wiring an installed item into index.html, or working with hyperframes.json. Covers discovery, install locations, block…
Mandatory entry point: read this first for any request to make, create, edit, animate, or render a video, animation, or motion graphic, including a promo, explainer, captioned clip, title card, overlay, slideshow or interactive deck, Remotion port, or any HyperFrames HTML composition. Also use it to inspect, diagnose…
