So awesome, glad they're still developing this. I was at the Open Video Conference where they demoed this.

  Ditto. And that demo was mighty pretty even then. Kudos guys. =)

"Node" as in http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247 http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-195064124... - not "node.js". Seriously runs in the browser.

  No, Node as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compositing#Node-based_and_layer-based_compositing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compositing#Node-based_...

  I found the reference to "Node" confusing as well. There are some server-side video compositing/transcoding packages, like http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/ http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/ but that's not what this is.

cool i coded some real time video effects demo a year and a half or so ago http://www.barbafan.de/html5video?video=tron http://www.barbafan.de/html5video?video=tron i tried to create a lib for video effects then, but ran into serious performance issues, looks like it's time to revisit that topic.

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/effects/seriously.exposure.js 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.

  You can always write your shaders in Haskell... : http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GPipe http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GPipe

Tried the demo. Didn't work in Firefox 9.0.1 or Chromium 18 on Linux

  Probably depends on whether your hardware supports WebGL and that it is enabled.
