# VideoFlow

> Open-source TypeScript toolkit (Apache-2.0) for composing videos from code. Write a fluent JS/TS builder script, compile to portable VideoJSON, render to MP4 in a browser tab (WebCodecs), on a Node server (headless Chromium, no ffmpeg required by default), or live in the DOM at 60 fps. Ships 27 transition presets, 42 GLSL effects, layer groups, frame-perfect keyframes. Optional drop-in React video editor available (free for small teams / non-profits).
