About Peekaboo Video Reveal

A premium WebGL / Three.js “press-and-hold” video reveal effect. It displays an image first, then smoothly reveals the video underneath while the user holds (mouse or touch). The effect includes a customizable swirl shader, interactive flowmap distortion, optional chromatic aberration (RGB shift) and subtle video grading controls for a cinematic look.
