What is HyperFrames Studio?
HyperFrames Studio is a desktop video editor from HeyGen where an AI agent does the building. Describe a video or paste a website, and Claude Code or Codex creates the scenes locally. Refine it by typing, pointing, drawing, or commenting, then export. It runs on the open source HyperFrames framework.
Top Features:
- Agent edits: type a change and the agent rewrites scenes, timing, or text.
- Frame markup: select, circle, or pin comments on a frame to target edits.
- Guided cut: pick a hook, proof, turn, and call to action to start.
Use Cases:
- Launches: turn a website URL into a launch video in one session.
- Social ads: produce short motion graphics and vertical ad clips without animation software.
- Dev demos: build explainer videos with code windows, terminals, and data charts.
Who Can Use HyperFrames Studio?
- Marketers: ship launch, feature, and ad videos without waiting on a designer.
- Founders: create a polished product video straight from your homepage URL.
- Dev advocates: make tutorial videos with code and terminal scenes built in.
Pricing
