Une consigne, un article ou un repo vers une vraie vidéo MP4 — par votre agent local. Lokale agents CLI · Hyperframes · MP4.
Hyperframes, Remotion, Motion Canvas, Manim — each wants you to learn its authoring model. Most teams pick one and live with its limits. html-video is the meta-layer above all of them.
The agent decides the storyboard and the engine decides how to draw it — neither leaks into the other. The engine is an implementation detail behind one render() adapter. Add a backend and every template gets it for free.
Headless Chromium records the animated HTML frame by frame and ffmpeg encodes it (libx264). The only network calls are the optional source fetch and the optional soundtrack. No cloud render, no per-render fee, no vendor lock-in.
One sentence (or one link) goes in; a real MP4 comes out. The pipeline is the same whether you start from a prompt, an article, or a repo.
Paste a URL or a GitHub repo; the studio fetches it server-side and flattens it to Markdown. Server-rendered pages like WeChat 公众号 articles work out of the box.
Your local agent reads the material plus the picked template’s style and emits a content-graph storyboard — one animated HTML block per frame.
A multi-frame IR: nodes (entity / data / text) and edges (sequence / contrast), topo-sorted into frame order and timing.
Each node becomes a self-contained animated HTML frame on disk — the meta-layer where the storyboard and the engine stay decoupled.
Headless Chromium loads each frame and records it, auto-extending to cover the frame’s own animation → one webm per frame.
Each webm is encoded to MP4 (libx264) and concatenated into one video; optional MiniMax music and narration are mixed in at export.
Every template is a real, animated single-file HTML video — live renders, not mockups. Drop one in, let the agent fill it with your content, export to MP4. 21 in the studio gallery; six shown here.
The engine is one render(input, ctx) contract behind a single adapter interface. Swap it and the storyboard and agent loop stay untouched. Hyperframes ships today; the rest are on the roadmap.
HTML + CSS + GSAP, agent-skill driven. The default engine — renders a real MP4 via headless Chromium + ffmpeg.
React components. The adapter interface is designed for it; the adapter isn’t built yet.
TypeScript generators on canvas — best for code-first explainers.
Math / 3D first. Niche, but a natural fit for the same adapter.
A curated, license-clean set of patterns — pick the one that matches the story you’re telling.
Editorial animated charts for “the number went up” stories.
Multi-scene reveals — hero, features, call to action.
Vertical kinetic-type clips sized for the feed.
Decision-tree and concept walkthroughs from an article or repo.
Glitch titles, logo end cards, clean sign-offs.
Film-grain, light-leak mood for brand films.
Animated typography — drops, openers, “system online” energy.
Turn a GitHub project into a structured “what this is” video.
html-video uses whichever agent CLI is on your PATH, switchable from the studio’s top bar. It leads with Open Design (Vela) — one login, many models — then falls back to the first available backend. Nothing installed? Set an Anthropic key and it talks to the Messages API directly.
Give the finished video a voice. Add a MiniMax key and describe a mood for background music, or type a script for narration; both are mixed into the exported MP4 via ffmpeg (music ducked under the voice). No key configured? The rest of the studio works unchanged.
Three commands: pnpm install, pnpm -r build, then html-video studio — it opens at 127.0.0.1:3071. Pick a template or paste a link, chat with your agent, edit per-frame text, add a soundtrack, export MP4. Everything runs on your machine.
The same meta-layer idea powers Open Design in the design space — an agent layer over many tools. html-video is the motion counterpart from the same team: HTML in, video out.
