Choose Tesseract when you want the project itself to be expressed in editing concepts. Hyperframes may fit a workflow built around HTML, web animation, and existing web-development expertise.

Adjustment layers

Use an adjustment layer to change the look of the layers beneath it. Keep the treatment separate from the footage, text, and graphics so your agent can revise it in one place.

Keyframe animation

Set values at specific moments and let Tesseract animate between them. Your agent can refine the timing, positions, and easing while keeping the animation editable.

Speed ramps

Move from fast action into a slower moment, then accelerate again. Tesseract gives your agent an editable time-remap curve to control which source frame appears at each point.

A few useful details.

Can Hyperframes edit footage and audio?

Yes. Its documentation includes footage, motion graphics, audio, and color workflows. Tesseract’s distinction is its native creative project model, not exclusive access to those categories.

Can I import an existing Hyperframes project?

Automatic HTML project conversion is not part of this release. Bring your source media and creative brief to build a new Tesseract project.

Is Tesseract open source?

The local release provides a free binary with documented interfaces and examples. It does not publish the engine source. Refer to the official release license for deployment and embedding terms.
