Seriously.js
Seriously.js is a real-time, node-based video compositor for the web.
Inspired by professional software such as After Effects and Nuke,
Seriously.js renders high-quality video effects, but allows them to be
dynamic and interactive.

Requirements
WebGL
Seriously.js requires a browser that supports WebGL.
Development is targeted to and tested in Firefox (4.0+), Google Chrome (9+), Internet Explorer (11+) and Opera (18+). Safari is expected to support WebGL
in the near future.
Even though a browser may support WebGL, the ability to run it depends
on the system's graphics card. Seriously.js is heavily optimized, so most
modern desktops and notebooks should be sufficient. Older systems may
run slower, especially when using high-resolution videos.
Mobile browser support for WebGL has improved. Mobile Firefox, Chrome and Safari have decent
support, but they can be slower than desktop versions due to limited system resources.
Seriously.js provides a method to detect browser support and offer
descriptive error messages wherever possible.
Cross-Origin Videos and Images
Due to security limitations of WebGL, Seriously.js can only process video
or images that are served from the same domain, unless they are served
with CORS headers.
Firefox, Chrome and Opera support CORS for video, but Safari and Internet Explorer do not, and videos served with CORS are rare. So for now, it is best to host your own video files.
