These use the HyperFrames composition runtime — HTML + CSS + GSAP rendered deterministically to video via headless Chrome + FFmpeg. Perfect for kinetic typography, product promos, launch reels, and website-to-video treatments where the visual grammar is typographic and motion-first.
Requirements: Node.js ≥ 22, FFmpeg, npx — no monorepo checkout, the CLI is fetched via npx @hyperframes/cli on first run.
"Make a 20-second product launch video for a new AI coding assistant called 'Cortex'. Big kinetic typography, three feature callouts, a bold accent color, and a final CTA card. Use the HyperFrames runtime."
What you get: HTML/GSAP composition with SplitText-style word reveals, staggered feature callouts, accent-driven color accents from a custom playbook, and hyperframes lint/validate gates passed before render.
Estimated time: 3-5 minutes | Cost: $0
"Here's my landing page URL: https://example.com. Make me a 15-second social ad for Instagram. Use HyperFrames and pick up the site's real colors and typography."

"Take my recent blog post about AI trends in 2026 and turn it into a 90-second video. Research current data to ground it, use animated charts for the statistics, and add a conversational narrator."
Be specific about visual components. Instead of "make it look good," say "use bar charts for the comparison, a donut chart for the breakdown, and stat cards for the key numbers."
Mention your target audience. "For junior developers" or "for 8th graders" dramatically changes the script, pacing, and visual style.
Specify duration. The agent optimizes content density based on your target length. 45 seconds needs ~110 words of narration; 90 seconds needs ~225 words.
Request specific chart types. The system has bar charts, line charts, pie/donut charts, KPI grids, progress bars, comparison cards, and callout boxes. Name the ones you want.
Ask for the zero-key path. If you want free results, say "use only free tools" or "no paid APIs." The agent will route to Piper TTS, stock media, and Remotion-only compositions.
For anime/Ghibli-style videos, mention the style explicitly: "Ghibli-style" or "anime-style." Describe the atmosphere, lighting, and mood. The agent uses the Animation pipeline with FLUX image generation and Remotion's anime scene engine — multi-image crossfade, camera motion, and particle overlays create the illusion of animation from still images. Cost is minimal (~$0.15 for 30 seconds).
