Usage Examples

Creating a Cinematic Scene

const scene = new Scene({
  duration: 300,
  layers: [
    {
      type: 'video',
      content: videoClip,
      effects: [
        new ColorGrading({ 
          brightness: 1.1,
          contrast: 1.2,
          saturation: 0.9
        }),
        new KenBurnsEffect({
          start: { scale: 1, position: { x: 0, y: 0 } },
          end: { scale: 1.2, position: { x: 100, y: 50 } }
        })
      ]
    },
    {
      type: 'text',
      content: new CinematicTitle({
        text: "Your Story Begins",
        font: "Montserrat",
        animation: "fadeScale"
      })
    }
  ]
});
