Server-Side, data-driven animation & video rendering with nodejs.

In this demo, we created a nodejs application generating weather forecast videos on-the-fly.

The dynamic weather data is loaded as JSON and presented on web canvas with animations. Using the node-canvas library and ffmpeg, the same canvas animation is rendered on server and exported as an mp4 video file.

Edit on 31 Aug 2020:

The demo is now a fully working nodejs library. You can check it out from: https://github.com/pankod/canvas2video

Awesome!

I am very interested in implementation.

Is it possible to share source code?

It's a bit late, but we turned the project into a nodejs library. You can check it out from github.com/pankod/canvas2video, if you still need it :)
