+ description: Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker sweeps, hand-drawn circles, burst lines, scribble, sketchout), or add transitions between scenes (crossfades, wipes, reveals, shader transitions). Covers composition authoring, timing, media, and the full video production workflow. For CLI commands (init, lint, preview, render, transcribe, tts) see the hyperframes-cli skill.

+ # HyperFrames
7
+
8
+ HTML is the source of truth for video. A composition is an HTML file with `data-*` attributes for timing, a GSAP timeline for animation, and CSS for appearance.
9
+
10
+ When no `visual-style.md` or animation direction is provided, follow [house-style.md](./house-style.md) for motion defaults, sizing, and color palettes.
11
+
12
+ ## Data Attributes
13
+
14
+ ### All Clips
15
+
16
+ | Attribute | Required | Values |
17
+ | ------------------ | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
18
+ | `id` | Yes | Unique identifier |
19
+ | `data-start` | Yes | Seconds or clip ID reference (`"el-1"`, `"intro + 2"`) |
20
+ | `data-duration` | Required for img/div/compositions | Seconds. Video/audio defaults to media duration. |
21
+ | `data-track-index` | Yes | Integer. Same-track clips cannot overlap. |
22
+ | `data-media-start` | No | Trim offset into source (seconds) |
23
+ | `data-volume` | No | 0-1 (default 1) |
24
+
25
+ `data-track-index` does **not** affect visual layering — use CSS `z-index`.
26
+
27
+ ### Composition Clips
28
+
29
+ | Attribute | Required | Values |
30
+ | ---------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------- |
31
+ | `data-composition-id` | Yes | Unique composition ID |
32
+ | `data-duration` | Yes | Takes precedence over GSAP timeline duration |
33
+ | `data-width` / `data-height` | Yes | Pixel dimensions (1920x1080 or 1080x1920) |
34
+ | `data-composition-src` | No | Path to external HTML file |
35
+
36
+ ## Composition Structure
37
+
38
+ Every composition is a `<template>` wrapping a `<div>` with `data-composition-id`:
39
+
40
+ ```html
41
+ <template id="my-comp-template">
42
+ <div data-composition-id="my-comp" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
43
+ <!-- content -->
44
+ <style>
45
+ [data-composition-id="my-comp"] {
46
+ /* scoped styles */
47
+ }
48
+ </style>
49
+ <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gsap@3.14.2/dist/gsap.min.js"></script>
50
+ <script>
51
+ window.__timelines = window.__timelines || {};
52
+ const tl = gsap.timeline({ paused: true });
53
+ // tweens...
54
+ window.__timelines["my-comp"] = tl;
55
+ </script>
56
+ </div>
57
+ </template>
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ Load in root: `<div id="el-1" data-composition-id="my-comp" data-composition-src="compositions/my-comp.html" data-start="0" data-duration="10" data-track-index="1"></div>`
61
+
62
+ ## Video and Audio
63
+
64
+ Video must be `muted playsinline`. Audio is always a separate `<audio>` element:
65
+
66
+ ```html
67
+ <video
68
+ id="el-v"
69
+ data-start="0"
70
+ data-duration="30"
71
+ data-track-index="0"
72
+ src="video.mp4"
73
+ muted
74
+ playsinline
75
+ ></video>
76
+ <audio
77
+ id="el-a"
78
+ data-start="0"
79
+ data-duration="30"
80
+ data-track-index="2"
81
+ src="video.mp4"
82
+ data-volume="1"
83
+ ></audio>
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ ## Timeline Contract
87
+
88
+ - All timelines start `{ paused: true }` — the player controls playback
89
+ - Register every timeline: `window.__timelines["<composition-id>"] = tl`
90
+ - Framework auto-nests sub-timelines — do NOT manually add them
91
+ - Duration comes from `data-duration`, not from GSAP timeline length
92
+
93
+ ## Rules (Non-Negotiable)
94
+
95
+ **Deterministic:** No `Math.random()`, `Date.now()`, or time-based logic. Use a seeded PRNG if you need pseudo-random values (e.g. mulberry32).
96
+
97
+ **GSAP:** Only animate visual properties (`opacity`, `x`, `y`, `scale`, `rotation`, `color`, `backgroundColor`, `borderRadius`, transforms). Do NOT animate `visibility`, `display`, or call `video.play()`/`audio.play()`.
98
+
99
+ **Animation conflicts:** Never animate the same property on the same element from multiple timelines simultaneously.
100
+
101
+ **No `repeat: -1`:** Infinite-repeat timelines break the capture engine. Calculate the exact repeat count from composition duration: `repeat: Math.ceil(duration / cycleDuration) - 1`.
102
+
103
+ **Synchronous timeline construction:** Never build timelines inside `async`/`await`, `setTimeout`, or Promises. The capture engine reads `window.__timelines` synchronously after page load. If you need fonts loaded first, use a synchronous `document.fonts.load()` call or rely on `font-display: block` — the engine waits for the page `load` event.
104
+
105
+ **Never do:**
106
+
107
+ 1. Forget `window.__timelines` registration
108
+ 2. Use video for audio — always muted video + separate `<audio>`
109
+ 3. Nest video inside a timed div — use a non-timed wrapper
110
+ 4. Use `data-layer` (use `data-track-index`) or `data-end` (use `data-duration`)
111
+ 5. Animate video element dimensions — animate a wrapper div
112
+ 6. Call play/pause/seek on media — framework owns playback
113
+ 7. Create a top-level container without `data-composition-id`
114
+ 8. Use `repeat: -1` on any timeline or tween — always finite repeats
115
+ 9. Build timelines asynchronously (inside `async`, `setTimeout`, `Promise`)
116
+
117
+ ## Typography and Assets
118
+
119
+ - Load fonts via `<link>` tags with `display=block` in `<head>`, NOT via CSS `@import` — `@import` is async and may not complete before the first frame capture
120
+ - Use `font-display: block` for `@font-face` declarations
121
+ - Add `crossorigin="anonymous"` to external media
122
+ - **Minimum font sizes for rendered video (1080p at DPR 1):**
123
+ - Body/label text: 20px minimum (landscape), 18px minimum (portrait)
124
+ - Data labels, axis labels, footnotes: 16px minimum — anything smaller becomes illegible after encoding
125
+ - Headlines: 36px+ recommended
126
+ - Avoid sub-14px text entirely — it will be unreadable in the final MP4
127
+ - For dynamic text overflow, use `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(text, { maxWidth, fontFamily, fontWeight })` — returns `{ fontSize, fits }`
128
+ - All files live at the project root alongside `index.html`; sub-compositions use `../`
129
+
130
+ ### Backgrounds and Color
131
+
132
+ - **Avoid full-screen linear gradients on dark backgrounds** — H.264 encoding creates visible color banding. Prefer: solid colors, radial gradients with limited range, or subtle noise/texture overlays to break up banding.
133
+ - For dark themes, use solid `#000` or `#0A0A0A` with localized radial glows rather than a linear gradient spanning the full viewport.
134
+
135
+ ## Editing Existing Compositions
136
+
137
+ - Read the full composition first — match existing fonts, colors, animation patterns
138
+ - Only change what was requested
139
+ - Preserve timing of unrelated clips
140
+
141
+ ## Output Checklist
142
+
143
+ - [ ] Every top-level container has `data-composition-id`, `data-width`, `data-height`, `data-duration`
144
+ - [ ] Compositions in own HTML files, loaded via `data-composition-src`
145
+ - [ ] `<template>` wrapper on sub-compositions
146
+ - [ ] `window.__timelines` registered for every composition
147
+ - [ ] Timeline construction is synchronous (no async/await wrapping timeline code)
148
+ - [ ] No `repeat: -1` on any tween or nested timeline
149
+ - [ ] No text below 16px (data labels, footnotes) or 20px (body text)
150
+ - [ ] No full-screen linear dark gradients (use radial or solid + localized glow)
151
+ - [ ] Fonts loaded via `<link>` with `display=block`, not CSS `@import`
152
+ - [ ] 100% deterministic
153
+ - [ ] Each composition includes GSAP script tag
154
+ - [ ] `npx hyperframes lint` and `npx hyperframes validate` both pass

+ # Audio-Reactive Animation
2
+
3
+ Drive visuals from music, voice, or sound. Any GSAP-animatable property can respond to pre-extracted audio data.
4
+
5
+ ## Audio Data Format
6
+
7
+ ```js
8
+ var AUDIO_DATA = {
9
+ fps: 30,
10
+ totalFrames: 900,
11
+ frames: [{ bands: [0.82, 0.45, 0.31, ...] }, ...]
12
+ };
13
+ ```
14
+
15
+ - `frames[i].bands[]` — frequency band amplitudes, 0-1. Index 0 = bass, higher = treble.
16
+ - Each band normalized independently across the full track.
17
+
18
+ ## Mapping Audio to Visuals
19
+
20
+ | Audio signal | Visual property | Effect |
21
+ | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
22
+ | Bass (bands[0]) | `scale` | Pulse on beat |
23
+ | Treble (bands[12-14]) | `textShadow`, `boxShadow` | Glow intensity |
24
+ | Overall amplitude | `opacity`, `y`, `backgroundColor` | Breathe, lift, color shift |
25
+ | Mid-range (bands[4-8]) | `borderRadius`, `width` | Shape morphing |
26
+
27
+ Any GSAP-tweenable property works — `clipPath`, `filter`, SVG attributes, CSS custom properties.
28
+
29
+ ## Content, Not Medium
30
+
31
+ Audio provides **timing and intensity**. The visual vocabulary comes from the narrative.
32
+
33
+ **Never add:** equalizer bars, spectrum analyzers, waveform displays, musical notes clip art, generic particle systems, rainbow color cycling, strobing white on beats, abstract pulsing orbs.
34
+
35
+ **Instead:** Let content guide the visual and audio drive its behavior. Bass makes warmth _swell_. Treble sharpens _contrast_. The visual choice comes from "what does this piece feel like?"
36
+
37
+ ## Sampling Pattern
38
+
39
+ Audio reactivity requires per-frame sampling via a `for` loop with `tl.call()`, not a single tween:
40
+
41
+ ```js
42
+ // ✅ Correct — sample every frame
43
+ for (var f = 0; f < AUDIO_DATA.totalFrames; f++) {
44
+ tl.call(
45
+ (function (frame) {
46
+ return function () {
47
+ draw(frame);
48
+ };
49
+ })(AUDIO_DATA.frames[f]),
50
+ [],
51
+ f / AUDIO_DATA.fps,
52
+ );
53
+ }
54
+
55
+ // ❌ Wrong — single tween, doesn't react to audio
56
+ gsap.to(".el", { scale: 1.2, duration: totalDuration });
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ Without per-frame sampling, the composition doesn't actually react to audio.
60
+
61
+ ## textShadow Gotcha
62
+
63
+ `textShadow` on a parent container with semi-transparent children (e.g., inactive caption words at `rgba(255,255,255,0.3)`) renders a visible glow rectangle behind all children. Fix: apply `scale` to the container for beat pulse, but apply `textShadow` to individual active words only.
64
+
65
+ ## Guidelines
66
+
67
+ - **Subtlety for text** — 3-6% scale variation, soft glow. Heavy pulsing makes text unreadable.
68
+ - **Go bigger on non-text** — backgrounds and shapes can handle 10-30% swings.
69
+ - **Match the energy** — corporate = subtle; music video = dramatic.
70
+ - **Deterministic** — pre-extracted data, no Web Audio API, no runtime analysis.
71
+
72
+ ## Constraints
73
+
74
+ - All audio data must be pre-extracted (use `extract-audio-data.py` from the gsap skill's scripts/)
75
+ - No `Math.random()` or `Date.now()`
76
+ - Audio reactivity runs on the same GSAP timeline as everything else

+ # Captions
2
+
3
+ ## Language Rule (Non-Negotiable)
4
+
5
+ **Never use `.en` models unless the user explicitly states the audio is English.** `.en` models TRANSLATE non-English audio into English instead of transcribing it.
6
+
7
+ 1. User says the language → `--model small --language <code>` (no `.en`)
8
+ 2. User says English → `--model small.en`
9
+ 3. Language unknown → `--model small` (no `.en`, no `--language`) — auto-detects
10
+
11
+ ---
12
+
13
+ Analyze spoken content to determine caption style. If user specifies a style, use that. Otherwise, detect tone from the transcript.

+
15
+ ## Transcript Source
16

17
+ ```json

+ [
19
+ { "text": "Hello", "start": 0.0, "end": 0.5 },

+ ```
23
+
24
+ For transcription commands, whisper models, external APIs, see [transcript-guide.md](transcript-guide.md).
25
+
26
+ ## Style Detection (When No Style Specified)
27
+
28
+ Read the full transcript before choosing. Four dimensions:
29
+
30
+ **1. Visual feel** — corporate→clean; energetic→bold; storytelling→elegant; technical→precise; social→playful.
31
+
32
+ **2. Color palette** — dark+bright for energy; muted for professional; high contrast for clarity; one accent color.
33
+
34
+ **3. Font mood** — heavy/condensed for impact; clean sans for modern; rounded for friendly; serif for elegance.
35
+
36
+ **4. Animation character** — scale-pop for punchy; gentle fade for calm; word-by-word for emphasis; typewriter for technical.
37
+
38
+ ## Per-Word Styling
39
+
40
+ Scan for words deserving distinct treatment:
41
+
42
+ - **Brand/product names** — larger size, unique color
43
+ - **ALL CAPS** — scale boost, flash, accent color
44
+ - **Numbers/statistics** — bold weight, accent color
45
+ - **Emotional keywords** — exaggerated animation (overshoot, bounce)
46
+ - **Call-to-action** — highlight, underline, color pop
47
+ - **Marker highlight** — for beyond-color emphasis, see [marker-highlight.md](marker-highlight.md)
48
+
49
+ ## Script-to-Style Mapping
50
+
51
+ | Tone | Font mood | Animation | Color | Size |
52
+ | ------------ | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------- |
53
+ | Hype/launch | Heavy condensed, 800-900 | Scale-pop, back.out(1.7), 0.1-0.2s | Bright on dark | 72-96px |
54
+ | Corporate | Clean sans, 600-700 | Fade+slide, power3.out, 0.3s | White/neutral, muted accent | 56-72px |
55

+ ## Word Grouping
60
+
61
+ - **High energy:** 2-3 words. Quick turnover.
62
+ - **Conversational:** 3-5 words. Natural phrases.
63
+ - **Measured/calm:** 4-6 words. Longer groups.
64
+
65
+ Break on sentence boundaries, 150ms+ pauses, or max word count.
66
+
67
+ ## Positioning
68
+
69
+ - **Landscape (1920x1080):** Bottom 80-120px, centered
70
+ - **Portrait (1080x1920):** Lower middle ~600-700px from bottom, centered
71
+ - Never cover the subject's face
72
+ - `position: absolute` — never relative
73
+ - One caption group visible at a time
74
+
75
+ ## Text Overflow Prevention
76
+
77
+ Use `window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize()`:
78
+
79
+ ```js
80
+ var result = window.__hyperframes.fitTextFontSize(group.text.toUpperCase(), {
81
+ fontFamily: "Outfit",
82
+ fontWeight: 900,
83
+ maxWidth: 1600,
84
+ });
85
+ el.style.fontSize = result.fontSize + "px";
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ Options: `maxWidth` (1600 landscape, 900 portrait), `baseFontSize` (78), `minFontSize` (42), `fontWeight`, `fontFamily`, `step` (2).
89
+
90
+ CSS safety nets: `max-width` on container, `overflow: visible` (**not** `hidden` — hidden clips scaled emphasis words and glow effects), `position: absolute`, explicit `height`. When per-word styling uses `scale > 1.0`, compute `maxWidth = safeWidth / maxScale` to leave headroom.
91
+
92
+ **Container pattern:** Full-width absolute container, centered. Do **not** use `left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%)` — causes clipping at composition edges.
93
+
94
+ ## Caption Exit Guarantee
95
+
96
+ Every group **must** have a hard kill after exit animation:
97
+
98
+ ```js
99
+ tl.to(groupEl, { opacity: 0, scale: 0.95, duration: 0.12, ease: "power2.in" }, group.end - 0.12);
100
+ tl.set(groupEl, { opacity: 0, visibility: "hidden" }, group.end); // deterministic kill
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Self-lint after building timeline — place **before** `window.__timelines[id] = tl` so it runs at composition init:
104
+
105
+ ```js
106
+ GROUPS.forEach(function (group, gi) {
107
+ var el = document.getElementById("cg-" + gi);
108
+ if (!el) return;
109
+ tl.seek(group.end + 0.01);
110
+ var computed = window.getComputedStyle(el);
111
+ if (computed.opacity !== "0" && computed.visibility !== "hidden") {
112
+ console.warn(
113
+ "[caption-lint] group " + gi + " still visible at t=" + (group.end + 0.01).toFixed(2) + "s",
114
+ );
115
+ }
116
+ });
117
+ tl.seek(0);
118
+ ```

+ ## Constraints
127
+
128
+ - Deterministic. No `Math.random()`, no `Date.now()`.
129
+ - Sync to transcript timestamps.
130
+ - One group visible at a time.
131
+ - Every group must have a hard `tl.set` kill at `group.end`.
132
