i have a project in which an application manipulates video, image, text and sound and creates a sort of a collage from analizing such multimedia files. i know that's perfectly possible using processing, but my question is about the distribution or the access platform. i thought about a web platform, using processing.js, but in that case, external libraries are not available, although i think it would be possible to work with php/javascript and html5 elements such as audio and video.

i could also try to export a java app and put it online, but in that case, can i work with external libraries and access files such as videos and audios?

another possibility i thought about is to export it as an application specific for each OS, but, in the case i use videos, images, etc, are they "embeded" in the app as well? and can an application access information on the web (through APIs or URLs)?

thanks!
