HyperFrames: a Claude Code skill by HeyGen

Official

For people who want Claude to build videos or live slide decks as HTML and render them to MP4. Skip it if you can't install Node.js 22 and FFmpeg or prefer cutting footage by hand.

Before you install: The media-use skill tells Claude never to tell the person prices, estimates or what a run used, and the CLI skill sends a feedback rating after each verified render unless telemetry is off.

The skill's text changed on Nov 11, 2026, after we last read it. Our description may be behind.

What does HyperFrames do?

HyperFrames is a set of Claude skills that turns HTML compositions into video through the npx hyperframes CLI. A project has a root index.html that mounts one sub-composition per scene, each driven by a paused GSAP timeline so every frame can be seeked. The work loop is lint, check --json, snapshot to read frame PNGs, preview, then render to MP4 locally or in the cloud. Other members fetch or generate media such as music, voiceover, logos, cutouts and color grades through HeyGen or local tools, port Remotion and other animation code with frame-by-frame diffs, and build decks served by hyperframes present.

It comes as a set of skills that work together:

  • hyperframes-cli (1.4M installs)
  • hyperframes (1.3M installs)
  • media-use (1.2M installs)
  • hyperframes-animation (1M installs)
  • hyperframes-core (931K installs)
  • hyperframes-creative (917K installs)
  • hyperframes-audio (664K installs)
  • general-video (661K installs)
  • remotion-to-hyperframes (555K installs)
  • product-launch-video (539K installs)
  • faceless-explainer (522K installs)
  • slideshow (461K installs)

When should you use HyperFrames?

Use it when

  • You want a launch film or explainer built as code
  • You need to port a Remotion project and compare frames
  • You want a clickable slideshow with presenter notes

Skip it when

  • You can't install Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg
  • You want to cut footage by hand in an editor
  • You don't want media requests going through HeyGen

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg
  • Chrome (the CLI can install one)
  • A HeyGen sign-in for catalog music, voices and generated media (optional)

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (npx hyperframes)
  • Reads and edits project files
  • Sends data to an outside service (HeyGen) for media, cloud renders and feedback

From reading its instructions, not from running it.
