How do they differ?

HyperFrames builds a root index.html that mounts one sub-composition per scene, each run by a paused GSAP timeline. The loop is lint, check, snapshot, preview, then render to MP4 locally or in the cloud. Other members fetch music, voiceover and logos through HeyGen, port Remotion code with frame-by-frame diffs and serve decks with hyperframes present.

Remotion routes each task to a member skill: create scaffolds a project with npx create-video, markup covers useCurrentFrame() and interpolate(), and maps works with Mapbox, MapLibre, MapTiler or CesiumJS. Claude keeps Remotion Studio open for a live preview and runs npx remotion render only when you plainly ask for an MP4.

What does each one need?

  • HyperFrames: Node.js 22 or newer, FFmpeg and Chrome, which the CLI can install. A HeyGen sign-in is optional.
  • Remotion: Node.js and Git. A Mapbox key only for Mapbox maps, and an ElevenLabs account only for AI voiceover.

Which should you install?

Both send some data out. HyperFrames uses HeyGen for media, cloud renders and feedback, and its CLI sends a feedback rating after each verified render unless telemetry is off. Remotion sends doc searches to Algolia. Skip both if you want to cut footage by hand in an editor.
