Automating rendering/exporting large number of videos

Any possibility of making this modified JS available publicly with a few notes on how to move the “clock” one frame at a time to reproduce what Hype is doing or does this fall into secret sauce/proprietary territory?

I think improving automation is the real way forward and hacking the video export isn't something I'd want to support.

You're welcome to try a hack at it though; you can find the video export script in Hype's package as Hype2.app/Contents/Resources/HYPE.video.js. It has an augmented API that exposes a function that could be called like:

HYPE.documents["documentName"].heartbeatForVideoExport(clockTimeInSeconds);

I don't know if this would be enough though to drive the automation you would want - you're on your own there! We may change this in future versions, so if you go down this route it is at your own risk!
