HeyGen has open-sourced HyperFrames, a framework that lets developers and AI coding agents render HTML, CSS, media and seekable animations into deterministic MP4 videos. The project positions ordinary web files as a video authoring format, with a CLI, agent skills and rendering paths for local, Docker and cloud workflows.
