render-model-comparison-grid
Render the 'model comparison grid' format from a config. The signature of this format is a
"Same prompt. N models." gauntlet: a dark stage where, per beat, a PROMPT eyebrow +
the (condensed) prompt fades in centered in monospace and holds readable ~0.8s, then
docks to a small top strip while a grid of 2-4 labeled panels staggers in (0.15s apart)
and holds for side-by-side comparison. A persistent model/variant label sits under each
panel; column order is identical on every beat. Ends on a minimal end card (headline +
column names only — no meta-stats line).
The grid is media-agnostic per cell: any cell is a static image or a muted video clip (i2v outputs, screen recordings), mixable within one beat. Video cells loop during the hold and are frame-seeked deterministically (the renderer awaits each seek), so the render never depends on wall-clock playback timing.
The renderer itself is FREE/deterministic (Playwright frame-step + FFmpeg). The paid inputs
are separate capabilities: the cell images come from create-image-fal, the cell
clips from create-video-fal, and the music bed from create-music-elevenlabs.
Prompt text and labels are real DOM — never AI-rendered.
Default shape: 5 beats × 4.5s + 2.5s end card = 25.0s @ 1280×720/30fps, all configurable
from one config.json.
Run
build_composition.py --config config.json --output hyperframe.html ; render_seekable_hyperframe.py hyperframe.html master-silent.mp4
build_composition.py validates every cell path and the column count (2-4), infers each
cell's media type from its extension (.png/.jpg/.jpeg/.webp → image; .mp4/.mov/.webm/.m4v
→ muted video), and emits a self-contained HTML that exposes window.mediaReady() +
window.renderAt(t). render_seekable_hyperframe.py awaits both, so <video> cells seek
to the right frame before each screenshot — never a frozen first frame.
Contract
- Deterministic + FREE (Playwright frame-step + FFmpeg); no paid calls in this capability.
- Columns = panels-per-beat (2-4); every beat supplies exactly that many cells, same order.
- The template recipe (DB) supplies the config; cell images/clips + music are separate capabilities.
- State is computed entirely in
renderAt(t)— never CSSanimation-delay/transitions (Playwright scrubbing traps delayed animations in pre-state). - Video cells must decode in the render Chromium (H.264 yes, ProRes no — transcode
.movProRes to H.264 first). An images-only grid has no decode dependency.
