I miss Flash and all the cool capabilities it had. At a previous company, we built a tool that would allow a teacher to record a video review of a student's animation work, while showing, scrubbing and annotating that work simultaneously. On playback, the annotations would be synced with the video. Good luck pulling that off with Javascript.
There's some work on this on the web space - our company is doing something not too dissimilar using the still experimental API called WebCodecs.
And that pretty much says everything unfortunately - it's still an experimental API with limited availability.
You can do some parts of this using Canvas[0] but there's lots of caveats.
