Pixel Point open-sources AVAL interactive video format
AVAL is an open-source interactive video format and runtime designed for high-fidelity web experiences without a WebAssembly runtime. By using WebCodecs and WebGL2 to advance a deterministic state graph, it enables stutter-free transitions and loops while eliminating traditional video seeking latency.
Web video seeking has always been too slow and stuttery for seamless UI interactions; AVAL solves this by using WebCodecs to drive a state-machine timeline forward, bypassing seek latency entirely.
- –By utilizing a deterministic state graph, AVAL enables stutter-free transitions and loops directly inside the browser.
- –Relying on native WebCodecs and WebGL2 keeps the performance footprint lightweight by avoiding a WASM player runtime.
- –Built-in packed-alpha transparency support opens the door for high-fidelity overlay animations.
- –Progressive fallbacks ensure developers don't break accessibility or older browser support.
