Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install camcorder-hud-overlay

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent places a camcorder display over your video: REC with a blinking red dot, battery icon, editable date and time, mode (SP · 16:9) and a counter that runs for 4 seconds. Sizes follow the video (vmin units), and colour, accent and margins are CSS variables.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use it in a HyperFrames project?

Copy the delivered files into your HyperFrames project, keeping the target path given in registry-item.json, then run the HyperFrames preview and render.

Does it need an internet connection?

Yes for rendering: the HTML loads GSAP from a CDN (jsdelivr) and, depending on the template, fonts or data.
