Adds a `--timeout <ms>` CLI flag (and `HYPERFRAMES_TRANSCRIBE_TIMEOUT_MS` env var) plus a model-slowdown factor in the auto-scaled default so `hyperframes transcribe` doesn't hard-fail with `spawnSync ETIMEDOUT` on slow CPUs running heavier whisper models. Field-signal ts=1784165471 (win32/arm64 emulating x64 on Snapdragon, CLI 0.7.59) reported the failure on a 63s wav with `-m medium` at ~13x realtime — the historical 10x-realtime scale (PR #2463) gave 10.5 min while the machine needed ~13.7 min. Splitting audio and merging offsets was the manual workaround. - Add `--timeout <ms>` and `HYPERFRAMES_TRANSCRIBE_TIMEOUT_MS` (min 5000). Explicit override bypasses auto-scaling; still capped at 12h. - Add per-model slowdown factor (tiny 0.5, base 0.7, small 1, medium 2, large 4, large-v3-turbo 2). Multiplied into the 10s/audio-second baseline so medium/large get proportional headroom while `small.en` (the default) preserves the historical safety window. - Wrap whisper's spawn error with a discoverability hint naming `--timeout`, the env var, and the effective timeout when the child was killed by SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT (mirrors PR #2504 protocol-timeout). - Docs: new `--timeout` row in `docs/packages/cli.mdx` Flags table. Regression coverage in `packages/cli/src/whisper/transcribe.test.ts` (56 tests) and `packages/cli/src/commands/transcribe.test.ts` (5 tests): - Model factor per known name + case-insensitive + safe unknown fallback. - 63s field-signal case on medium.en → 1_260_000ms (was 630_000ms). - Explicit override honored below the auto floor + capped at 12h. - Model factor ignored when overrideMs is set. - SIGTERM/ETIMEDOUT detection + augmented message contract. - CLI rejects below-minimum `--timeout` with error naming both the flag and the 5000ms floor. — Via Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <[email protected]> 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
lint
Validate your Hyperframes HTML:
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose # Include info-level findings
By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
Run rendering benchmarks:
npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html
doctor
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
docs
Open the documentation in your browser:
npx hyperframes docs
upgrade
Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:
npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json # machine-readable for agents
