 - ✅ **Simple CLI** - One command to render your video
 - ✅ **Programmatic API** - Integrate into your build pipeline
 - ✅ **Full GSAP Power** - All easing, timelines, and plugins work
+- ✅ **Parallel Rendering** - Distributed capture across CPU cores (20x faster)
+- ✅ **In-Browser Capture** - Zero-copy absolute performance
+- ✅ **Auto-Scaling** - Automatically utilizes all available CPU cores
+- ✅ **WebCodecs Encoding** - Hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding, no FFmpeg required

+## What Can You Build?
+
+**Your app. As a video. Using your actual components.**
+
+Install VueSeq into your Vue project and create stunning videos that perfectly match your brand—because they _are_ your brand. No recreating UIs in After Effects. No screen recording artifacts. Just your components, animated with GSAP, rendered to pixel-perfect video.
+
+### 🎬 App Showcases & Demos
+
+Create promotional videos using your real UI components. Product tours, feature walkthroughs, "What's New in v2.0" announcements—all with your exact design system, your exact colors, your exact components.
+
+### 📱 Social Media Content
+
+Generate short-form videos for Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram. Show off a feature in 15 seconds. Your followers see your actual product, not a mockup.
+
+### 📚 Documentation & Tutorials
+
+Animate how your features work. Show state transitions, user flows, component interactions. Embed videos in your docs that never go stale—regenerate them when your UI changes.
+
+### 📊 Data Visualizations
+
+Animated charts, dashboards, infographics. Watch your bar charts grow, your line graphs draw, your data come alive.
+
+### 🎓 Educational Videos
+
+Create animated explainers, course content, and training materials. Complex concepts become clear with step-by-step animated infographics and interactive walkthroughs.
+
+### 🎨 Design System Demos
+
+Showcase your component library in motion. Let designers and developers _see_ how components animate, transition, and interact.
+
+---
+
+**The idea is simple:** If you can build it in Vue, you can render it to video. One command. Deterministic output. Every time.
+
+## Integration Modes
+
+### 🔌 Add to Your Existing App
+
+Install VueSeq into your Vue project and create videos using your existing components and design system. Import your buttons, cards, charts—anything you've already built. Your videos will match your app perfectly because they _are_ your app.
+
+```bash
+npm install vueseq
+# Create a video component that imports your existing components
+npx vueseq src/videos/ProductDemo.vue -o demo.mp4
+```
+
+### 🤖 Programmatic / AI-Generated Videos
+
+Use the API to generate videos programmatically. Perfect for:
+
+- **AI pipelines**: Generate videos from LLM-created storyboards
+- **Automated content**: Create personalized videos at scale
+- **CI/CD integration**: Regenerate demo videos on every release
+
+```javascript
+import { renderToMp4 } from 'vueseq'
+
+await renderToMp4({
+  input: '/path/to/GeneratedVideo.vue',
+  output: 'output.mp4',
+})
+```
 
+### 📦 Standalone Projects
 
+Create a dedicated video project from scratch. Ideal for marketing teams, content creators, or anyone who wants to produce videos without an existing Vue app.
 
-*This video was rendered with VueSeq from [examples/HelloWorld.vue](./examples/HelloWorld.vue)*
