API Usage

Initialize

// Initialize VideoMoonwalk
VideoMoonwalk = new VideoMoonwalk(videoTagForwards,videoTagBackwards, options);

// the options argument should look something like this :
options = {
    points : [
        {
            timeIndex : 0 // always zero
        },
        {
            timeIndex : 4
        },
        {
            timeIndex : 6
        },
        {
            timeIndex : 12
        },
        {
            timeIndex : 16.65 // total movie length
        }
    ]
}
