## What is ISF?

ISF (Interactive Sahder Format) is wrapper around GLSL pixel shaders. It standarizes way
to create live video effects that can be then used in and controlled by VJ Software.

Learn more about ISF here: [https://isf.video/](https://isf.video/)

## How to use it

The workflow is very simple:

1. Create a Text DAT node, paste some ISF code there and connect it to isfParser component.
2. Connect your video input to the component.
3. Click "Reload" and it's done! You will receive the video output and you can play with the ISF parameters that will be now visible on the component.
