Show HN: Fuzzy Studio – Apply live effects to videos/camera

Back story:

I've been learning computer graphics on the side for several years now and gain so much joy from smooshing and stretching images/videos. I hope you can get a little joy as well with Fuzzy Studio!

Try applying effects to your camera! My housemates and I have giggled so much making faces with weird effects!

Nothing gets sent to the server; everything is done in the browser! Amazing what we can do. I've only tested on macOS... apologies if your browser/OS is not supported (yet).

Nice work on getting this running in the browser. The fact that it works at all with WebGL/camera APIs is impressive. I always expect browser-based video stuff to be janky, but the demos look smooth.

Really wanna use this for GMeet or Zoom!

Hah this is the 3rd fun app like this I've seen lately. I really like yours!

I also built one! In mine you can compose effects using a graph, I've gotten carried away and now I keep wanting to bring more TouchDesigner concepts into it. It's far off, but so much fun! The best feedback on these kinds of apps is if you put it in camera mode and on a TV, and let a kid dance around in front of it.

I hope you don't mind if I steal some of you nice ideas for myself :)

So much fun and beautifully implemented.

I wish there was a way to use the output/preview as a virtual camera in Meet, Zoom etc. I could drive my colleagues potty with some of these :)

I spent more time on Potion Seller than I'd like to admit. Great project!!

Fun! But my downloaded MP4 didn't have any of the effects. Odd.

I couldn't play w/ it because it doesn't allow selecting the correct camera on macos

FWIW, I was able to select a Logitech USB webcam on my Mac mini running Sequoia.

Yeah iOS is no good for camera. UX is also a little hard to process on phones. Keep going!

Worked fine for me on iOS/safari. Phone got a bit hot and the ui was a bit crunched but it definitely worked and was fun to play with.

Nice work! I’ve been using CamTwist for effects:

It makes a virtual camera device that can integrate into any other app, not just the browser.
