What this template is
A HyperFrames-ready HTML + CSS + GSAP motion composition, bundled under source/. It renders deterministically to MP4 / WEBM at 16:9, default 15s, 30fps.

Workflow
- Read
source/index.htmlto understand the named layers and the animation timeline. - Replace the sample copy (headlines, figures, labels) with the user's real content; keep the motion timing and visual signature intact.
- Keep the composition self-contained under
source/; do not introduce external network assets that would break a headless render. - Render to MP4 via the html-video / HyperFrames renderer.
