Hyper 8 Video System

Desktop application

This section addresses all users equally - it provides all basic information to simply get started using Hyper 8 through the desktop application. If you're unsure what to do or where to start, this is your first destination.

Command line interface

This section is mostly for people familiar with command line interfaces (and it is entirely optional). With the command line interface you are able to automate and script various workflows that utilize the Hyper 8.

Site directory specification

This section lets you take a peek under the hood of a - or actually, all - Hyper 8 sites. Here you will find complete and detailed information on how a site is stored on disk (spoiler: it's a simple system) and how you can therefore manually edit and extend it using any tool(s) you like - from a file explorer to a text editor to scripted workflows. It's all just (plaintext) files and folders underneath.

Site directory examples

These each explain a fictional Hyper 8 site directory - how the files and folders are laid out, which manifests are placed where, and what content they hold. This teaches by example, but does not nearly show all features available in Hyper 8, so it is recommended to additionally go through the site directory specification to get the full picture.
