What it does

One verb, npx hyperframes media-use resolve, turns a need into a local file in assets/ with a ledger record, so renders never fetch. Each media type has a HeyGen route (a 10k-track music catalog, 75k+ images and icons, voices, avatar video) and a free route with no account (Openverse and 21 bundled sound effects, on-device Kokoro TTS, local transcription, background removal, LUT grades). It also mixes placed audio and treats footage that looks dark, flat or dull.

Use when

• A video needs music, sound effects or a voiceover
• Images, icons or a brand logo for a scene
• Transcripts, captions or background removal
• Footage looks dark, flat or dull and needs a grade

Not for

• Clip timing and track layout (use HyperFrames)
