Hypit

Overview

GitHubGitHub

Hypit is an open-source project that provides a language and system for AI Agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to create videos. After a user inputs a video, the Agent can clone it into a complete workflow including assets, subtitles, B-roll, and effects, with all elements anchored to text rather than a timeline. Besides cloning existing videos, users can start from templates or simply describe the desired video in natural language, letting the Agent write the workflow from scratch. Generative models are optional: workflows can compile subtitles, motion graphics, and code-rendered visuals into a final video without calling generative models or incurring related costs. Hypit uses a markup language called SVML to define video workflows and renders videos concurrently via 64 headless Chromium processes. Under the hood, it relies on FFmpeg for video processing and supports WhisperX for word-level alignment. Install by globally adding the Skill via `npx skills add hypit-ai/hypit -g`. On first use, the Agent checks for the Hypit executable and helps prepare the environment. Video projects can be stored in any directory. Official examples include UGC, podcast clips, and street interviews. For instance, a 20-second soccer ranking video featuring A-roll generated by Seedance 2 Mini, B-roll by GPT Image 2, WhisperX word alignment, audio-synced ranking boards, and karaoke subtitles costs about $1.15. The same structure can quickly swap characters, content, or products to generate multiple variants. Hypit itself is free, but the Coding Agent and model services used require their own accounts and fees. HypiHub is officially recommended as the hosted model service, though you can also connect your own API or local models. The tech stack is based on TypeScript, requiring Node.js 22.15+ and pnpm 10.33.

Q&A

What is Hypit?AI-generated

Hypit is a language and system that gives AI Agents video creation capabilities. It lets Agents clone videos, write workflows, and render finished videos.

Is Hypit free?AI-generated

Hypit itself is free, but the Coding Agent and model services you use have their own accounts and costs.

How do I install Hypit?AI-generated

Run `npx skills add hypit-ai/hypit -g` to install the Skill globally. On first use, the Agent will check for and help prepare the Hypit executable.

Do I have to use AI generative models?AI-generated

No. Generative models are optional. Workflows can compile subtitles, motion graphics, and code-rendered visuals into videos without calling any generative models.

Can I only clone videos?AI-generated

No. Cloning is just the fastest way to get started. You can also begin from templates or describe the video you want in natural language, and the Agent will write the workflow from scratch.

Which model services are supported?AI-generated

HypiHub is officially recommended as the hosted model service, but you can also use your own API or local models. Just tell the Agent the service name and API docs to configure the connection.

What are the runtime requirements?AI-generated

Requires Node.js 22.15 or later, pnpm 10.33, and TypeScript 5.9.
