## Which one, for what

### framefields (C)

Good for: Coding agents that write motion graphics, data stories, title cards and 3D product shots as code and render them locally or on their own GPU.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 61 against 30
- Schema & documentation, 77 against 65
- Agent ergonomics, 74 against 60
- Security & auth, 45 against 20
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 20
- Maintenance & community, 89 against 50
- Transparency & trust, 39 against 28

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card
- Open source

Watch for: First published on 5 October 2026 and declared beta

### HyperFrames (E)

Good for: HyperFrames turns HTML compositions into videos through a local CLI and preview studio.

Watch for: Hosted MCP remains beta

## Verdicts

**framefields.** A free Apache-2.0 library that renders video from TypeScript on the GPU, with lint and QA codes an agent can act on. It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.

**HyperFrames.** Local CLI with editable HTML project files. Hosted MCP remains beta.

## Before you call either

### framefields

1. Add the plugin with `/plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields` first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.
2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing `skia.node`.
3. Check with `comp.lint()` and `renderFrameGrid` before a full `renderVideo` encode.
4. Call `process.exit()` after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.
5. Preload vision models into `FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR` for offline or CI renders.

### HyperFrames

1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.
2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.
3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.
