Get or make any media for a HyperFrames video - music, sound effects, images, icons, logos, voiceover, avatar and generated video, transcripts, cutouts, colour grades and looks - with HeyGen or free local tools, and mix placed audio. Also for footage that looks dark, flat or dull, or should be stylized or hidden.

Media in HyperFrames

Media lands as a local file in the project's assets/ with a ledger record; renders never fetch. One verb finds or makes it:

npx hyperframes media-use resolve --type <type> --intent "<what you need>" --project <dir>

It prints one line, resolved <id> → <path> (<type>, <metadata>). List reusable assets first with --candidates and judge the fit yourself; reuse, ingest (--from) and adopt are in references/resolve.md.

Two ways to get it

Need	HeyGen (best quality)	Free, no account
Music (`bgm`)	Catalog of 10k+ tracks	Local MusicGen (`audio/references/bgm.md`)
Sound effects (`sfx`)		Openverse; 21 bundled offline
Images, icons	Asset search, 75k+	Local FLUX (mflux), if installed
Logos (`logo`)		theSVG, GitHub avatar, favicon; never redrawn
Voiceover (`voice`)	HeyGen voices, voice cloning	`npx hyperframes tts` (Kokoro on device; Python 3.10+ with `pip install kokoro-onnx soundfile`)
A presenter speaking	Avatar video (`--type video`)	Local LTX for generic clips, if installed
Transcripts		`npx hyperframes transcribe` (Parakeet or whisper)
Cutouts	`heygen background-removal`	`npx hyperframes remove-background`
Grades, LUTs, looks		`npx hyperframes media-treatment`

Host apps. Inside an app that gives you its own media tools, use those first. When HEYGEN_API_BASE is set, the host pays for HeyGen: don't ask for the heygen CLI or a sign-in, and when a call is refused, relay the host's message as written and stop.

HeyGen. Install the heygen CLI, then sign in with npx hyperframes auth login. HyperFrames supplies its credential to the helper; it does not read the separate HeyGen CLI login. An explicit API key bills API credits, and the server decides OAuth eligibility and charges. Check setup with npx hyperframes media-use resolve --doctor. If a required provider is missing or signed out, give the install link and HyperFrames sign-in command, then offer the free path or wait.

Direct HeyGen recipes. Commands such as heygen video-agent create, heygen video create, heygen voice clone create, heygen lipsync, heygen video-translate and heygen ai-clipping in references/operations.md use the HeyGen CLI's own credential and HeyGen/API billing. They do not inherit HyperFrames OAuth or its subscription. Use only when that separate payer is selected.

Free. Every tool in the free column needs no account; local models are opt-in installs (references/setup-providers.md). Without heygen, resolve for music, images and icons fails and says so; credit CC BY sounds (audio/references/sfx.md). --local-only skips every network provider.

Cost. Confirm before a paid call you chose to make (an avatar video counts); one the person asked for just runs. --provider <name> pins one generator when the person names it.

Looks on real footage

Feedback that footage is dark, flat or dull, should feel retro or printed, needs a face hidden, or needs a reveal is media intent: read references/media-treatments.md. Inspect the real <img>/<video>, pick one intent, start from npx hyperframes media-treatment --capabilities --json, then --capability <id>; never --all. Persist the final treatment with npx hyperframes media-treatment; no CSS or SVG stand-ins for supported effects, and no generated .cube just to encode exposure or warmth.

Offer once, never add silently

When you build or review a piece, scan once for concrete gaps (on-screen text with no voiceover, emoji standing in for icons, placeholder images, silent cuts, 10 s+ with no music, a colour cast) and offer the specific fixes in one ask. No signal, no suggestion; respect "leave it".

Where to look

Task	Read
Resolve, reuse, adopt, ingest, flags	`references/resolve.md`
Grading, LUTs, `grade-compare`	`references/grading.md`
Voiceover, music, sound effects, captions, transcription	`references/audio.md`
Cut, reframe or transform media; HeyGen recipes	`references/operations.md`
Treatments, realtime effects, overlays, reveals	`references/media-treatments.md`
Install, sign-in, providers, RAM ladders	`references/setup-providers.md`
Fades, gain, ducking, automation, effects, buses on placed tracks	`references/mixing.md`
Local commands: grade, cutout, loudness, beats	`references/local.md`
Remembered preferences	`references/memory.md`

hyperframes-media
Audio and media assets for HyperFrames compositions, produced by one shared audio engine (`scripts/audio.mjs`) — multi-provider TTS (HeyGen / ElevenLabs / Kokoro local), background music + sound effects (HeyGen audio-library retrieval by default, with local Lyria / MusicGen BGM generation and a bundled SFX library as the no-credential fallback), Whisper transcription, background removal, and caption authoring. Use for voiceover / TTS, BGM, SFX / sound effects, transcription, captions / subtitles / lyrics / karaoke / per-word styling, voice + provider selection, and music-mood prompting.

hyperframes-audio
Use when audio already placed in a HyperFrames composition needs to be mixed: fade-in/fade-out, crossfade, track gain or volume, volume automation, ducking, a music bed that fights a voiceover (voiceover carve), effects on a track (EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, saturation, delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, bitcrush), automation envelopes drawn on a track's volume or any effect parameter, or one submix bus carrying a chain, a fader and an automation clock for several tracks at once (`<hf-audio-group>`). Don't use for sourcing or generating audio — finding BGM, SFX, or making a voiceover is `/media-use`. Don't use for clip timing or track layout, which is `/hyperframes-core`.
