kampos

Tiny and fast effects compositor on WebGL

kampos lets you add filter effects and beautiful transitions to video and images (or any other media). Just like SVG filter effects, only using WebGL, which means it works everywhere!

Documentation

Features

• Filter effects for images and videos that you can mix and compose.
• As tiny as ~4KB (minified and gzipped).
• Core engine for creating and running effects.
• Plugins for effects and transitions - available for import.
• Custom plugins? Extremely easy by using the effects/transitions descriptors DSL.

Usage

Here's a simple example for using kampos:

import { Kampos, effects } from 'kampos';

const target = document.querySelector('canvas');
const media = document.querySelector('video');

const hueSaturation = effects.hueSaturation();
hueSaturation.hue = 90;

const kampos = new Kampos({ target, effects: [hueSaturation] });

kampos.setSource(media);
kampos.play();
