## What it is
Seriously.js is a real-time, node-based video effects compositor for the web built with JavaScript and WebGL. It renders GPU-accelerated video effects inspired by professional tools like After Effects and Nuke, with a plugin architecture for custom effects, sources, and targets.

## Use cases
- apply real-time video effects in the browser
- build a node-based video compositor web app
- chroma key / green screen video in JavaScript
- process webcam video with WebGL effects
- composite video layers with GPU acceleration
- add filters like blur, vignette, or glitch to HTML5 video

## When to choose
- you need GPU-accelerated real-time video effects in the browser
- you want a node-based compositing graph with a plugin architecture
- you need effects like chroma key, blur, or color grading on live video

## When to avoid
- you need server-side or offline video rendering
- you require a library with frequent updates and active maintenance
- you need broad mobile or legacy browser support with guaranteed performance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: video-processing, image-processing, graphics, plugin-system
- domain: graphics, web-development, media
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, compositing, node-based, real-time-effects, chroma-key, gpu-accelerated, video, javascript, web
