| description | Capture a website and create a HyperFrames video from it. Use whenever the user (1) provides a URL and wants a video, (2) says "capture this site", "turn this into a video", "make a video tour of this page", or (3) wants a scrolling product walkthrough, marketing reel, or before/after visual built from a real site. |
Website โ HyperFrames
Turn any URL into a video composition. The skill captures screenshots
(full-page, viewport, or scroll-through), assembles them as scenes in a
HyperFrames project, and lets the user render the result.
When to use
The user gives you a URL and any of:
- "Make a video"
- "Turn this site into a reel / short / promo"
- "Show this page scrolling"
- "Capture this and animate it"
- "Build a before/after with these two URLs"
Also: when the user is pitching their product and needs a demo video fast.
Workflow
-
Confirm the goal โ quick title card, scrolling walkthrough, feature
highlights, or before/after? Length and aspect ratio matter โ ask
before scaffolding.
-
Scaffold a HyperFrames project โ npx hyperframes init --tailwind
in a fresh directory.
-
Capture the site. Use whatever is available in the environment:
- Playwright is the most reliable (HyperFrames already bundles it).
Drive
page.goto(url) then page.screenshot({ fullPage: true }) for
full-page captures, or scroll-and-snap for a walkthrough.
- Save captures to the project's
assets/ directory.
-
Compose. Typical templates:
- Title + scroll + outro โ 1s title, 8s scrolling capture, 1s CTA
- Feature reel โ 1s intro, 3-4 zoom-and-pan shots on key sections,
1s outro. Use GSAP for the camera-style motion.
- Before/after โ split-screen with a wipe transition between two
captures of the same URL at different states.
-
Lint + render โ npx hyperframes lint, then
npx hyperframes render. Vertical for social, 16:9 for embed.
Defaults to recommend
- Length: 8โ15s for social, 20โ30s for product demo, 60s+ for full
walkthrough
- Aspect: 9:16 (1080x1920) for TikTok / Reels / Shorts; 16:9
(1920x1080) for embed; 1:1 (1080x1080) for feed
- Capture viewport: 1440x900 for most marketing sites โ closer to how
desktop visitors see them than the full retina 1920x1080
- Add a CTA card at the end: 1.5s with the URL and a "Visit"
prompt. Free conversion.
Things to handle gracefully
- Cookie banners / popups โ dismiss before capturing. A 500ms wait
after
page.goto and a click on common dismiss buttons (button[id*="accept"],
button:has-text("Accept")) covers most cases.
- Lazy-loaded content โ scroll the page once before capturing to
trigger any intersection observers, then scroll back to top.
- Animations on the page โ disable them in the capture by injecting
CSS:
* { animation: none !important; transition: none !important; }.
This avoids capturing a half-rendered state.
- Auth-walled pages โ ask the user whether they want to log in first
(use
page.context().addCookies(...) or persistent storage state).
Adjacent skills
- hyperframes โ main composition skill, load it for the actual scene
authoring
- hyperframes-cli โ for CLI commands during the build
- hyperframes-media โ if the user wants voiceover narrating the tour
Minimal example: title + scroll + outro
After scaffolding, the composition looks roughly like:
<!doctype html>
<html data-duration="10000">
<head><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com" /></head>
<body class="bg-black">
<div class="absolute inset-0 grid place-items-center text-white"
data-start="0" data-end="1500">
<h1 class="text-6xl font-bold">acme.com</h1>
</div>
<img src="./assets/fullpage.png"
class="absolute inset-x-0 top-0 w-full"
data-start="1500" data-end="9000"
data-animate-y="0,-2000" />
<div class="absolute inset-0 grid place-items-center text-white bg-black/80"
data-start="9000" data-end="10000">
<p class="text-3xl">Visit acme.com</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Then npx hyperframes render. Done.
