# HyperFrames v0.8.197

By Steven Van · 2026-10-25

Opaque VP9 cloud renders cost about 40 percent less, and Snapshot now reports unreadable clips instead of saving a black frame.

Cloud renders of opaque VP9 video now use compressed frames instead of lossless ones, which cuts their cost by about **40 percent**. [HyperFrames](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/resources/hyperframes>) v0.8.197 also changes how Snapshot handles unreadable clips and how Studio handles closed projects. The full list is in the [changelog](<https://hyperframes.heygen.com/changelog#hyper-frames-v0-8-197>).

## Performance

- VP9 and VP8 sources without an alpha plane are extracted as JPEG.

- Text edits no longer rebuild the preview's caches every frame.

- Studio frees each closed project's memory.

## Fixes

- Snapshot fails with the clip and time when it cannot read a clip, instead of saving a silent black frame.

- A check that is stopped by a signal prints the report it has so far.

- The SDK releases the parsed film when a session is disposed.

## Lint

Lint now warns when a round-capped line that is hidden by its dash settings can still show a dot.

The release also fixes two flaky queue tests that raced real time or the first copy's start.
