How we Rendered 3 Years of Video Using JavaScript

A big part of our product at Lumen5 is our video rendering engine (we're a video creation tool, after all). A couple of years ago, we started experimenting with WebGL as a potential new way to render videos. It's totally transformed the way we think about JavaScript development, and opened our eyes to a completely different web paradigm. When we first started, it wasn't clear that WebGL was the way to go for us. It took a lot of research into the different alternatives before we broke ground on our existing render engine.
