Learn

So far, we’ve learned to create dynamic p5.js sketches using only shapes and colors.

But, just like how you might add external images or videos onto a normal webpage, you can also use the p5.js library to incorporate external images or videos directly into the canvas!

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Load and draw external images into the canvas
  • Display external videos in the canvas
  • Add filters effects across images and the canvas
  • Read and manipulate the pixels within the canvas, as well as in images and videos

Instructions

Explore the p5.js sketch to the right. You’ll see that it uses a still image, an animated GIF image, and a video to create a multi-media collage. Click anywhere on the sketch to watch the video play!
