Nice! For those who aren't too familiar with P5.js, you may enjoy this introduction: http://hello.p5js.org/ however, do note that the real-time video compositing is done with a different library (https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/

No, it is definitely not supposed to look like that. Here's what it looks like for me: https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/23744/150541/nk... Do you mind sharing your video card info and operating system? It will be hard to debug remotely, but I'll see what I can dig up. Please post it here or on github: https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/issues Thanks

It sounds like you may have a browser addon that's creating an EMBED element as a fallback because the browser can't play the video itself. If that's not the case, do you mind writing a bug issue on github with your browser details? https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/issues Thanks

Also note that "node-based" does not refer to node.js as per the FAQ: https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/wiki/Frequently-...

This is seriously cool, but can't there be a better way to embed fragment shaders in javascript for WebGL? Check out this effect: https://github.com/brianchirls/Seriously.js/blob/develop/eff... Or is there a tool that needs to be created that will compile a fragment shader for WebGL down to .js, kind of like CoffeeScript? Now all you need is for someone to write an OpenEXR implementation in JS or WebKit and you'll have all you need to build a Nuke killer in the browser. Well, you'll still need the UI framework for the node graph.
