    Hyperframes improves CLI publishing login recovery

    Hyperframes 0.8.120 handles refused or expired publishing logins by refreshing access or asking the user to sign in instead of leaving a broken publishing state. It also stabilizes cross-file element IDs and separates feedback labels for people and agents. This is a tool reliability release, not a new video model; opening the news story does not publish anything.

    Hyperframes fixes freeze-frame undo and duplicate preview actions

    Hyperframes 0.8.119 fixes removal of a freeze-frame still when extraction finishes after an undo, and avoids repeating playhead actions during preview redraws. This is a version-specific editing reliability update, not a new generation model or guarantee that every editing bug is resolved.

    Hyperframes adds ad-template previews and aligns animation playback

    Hyperframes 0.8.118 adds video previews for eight ad templates and aligns GSAP and MotionPath playback with the composition preview. It also builds host controls before rendering thumbnails. These are template and editing improvements, not a new AI video-generation model.

    Hyperframes fixes lost edits and fails visibly on broken video frames

    Hyperframes 0.8.117 repairs persistence and redraw behavior for resize, rotation and undo changes to animated layers. It also fails visibly when a video frame cannot be decoded rather than silently exporting blank footage. This is a concrete editing reliability update, not a new video-generation model.

    HeyGenHyperFrames 0.8.115Video

    HyperFrames exposes harness usage to agents and steadies video preview audio

    The release adds a CLI usage command for Claude Code, Codex and Grok harness subscriptions. It also keeps music playing across preview cuts, forwards Kokoro TTS speed and closes owned browser processes when the CLI stops. This is video-tooling and harness integration work, not a new generation model or larger provider allowance.

    HeyGenHyperFrames 0.8.114Video

    HyperFrames isolates file renames and keyframe edits instead of changing unrelated animation

    Version 0.8.114 fixes overly broad file-reference rewrites and keyframe edits that copied other tweens' channels. It also handles modern CSS colors and improves frame capture and preview-server ownership.

    HeyGenHyperFrames 0.8.113Video

    HyperFrames repairs export-layer blinking and frame-zero animation

    The release repairs animation set steps landing on their intended frames, including frame-zero intros. Its CLI rejects stray positional arguments and preserves an explicit port for background previews. These are rendering and workflow fixes, not generative-model quality claims.

    HeyGenHyperFrames 0.8.112Video

    HyperFrames previews new timeline tracks and decouples saves from thumbnails

    Studio previews where a dragged clip will create a new track and no longer waits for thumbnails to save. The release also adds timeline inspection details and a motion-blur skill, alongside CLI and render checks.

    HeyGenHyperFrames 0.8.111Video

    HyperFrames makes host undo immediate during timeline saves

    Embedded Studio hosts can repaint a still-saving clip move immediately when their own undo key is pressed. The release is a focused editing-recovery change, not a new video model.
