This is really impressive, but I found the effect really distracting and annoying. It's most probably the delay/lag that makes it look jarring.

View on HN

Runs pretty smoothly here - maybe it's your browser/system?

I'm on a pretty fast machine running latest Safari and you can tell the glow is behind the video because there's a half second or so lag between scene transitions and the glow changing to match.

I'm not sure how to post code on HN but I found the default settings that explain the "half second" lag:

var default_settings = { brightness: 2.7, saturation: 1.4, lamps: 5, block_size: 40, update_interval: 500, fade_time: 400 };

Two spaces before a line of code does the trick:

  var default_settings = { brightness: 2.7, saturation: 1.4, lamps: 5, block_size: 40, update_interval: 500, fade_time: 400 };

Lastest chrome build, the colours are in pretty much in sync with the video.

I'd like to see this on youtube's HTML5 page!
