AnimationVideo
AnimationVideo is a javascript library to animate objects inside a canvas. The animation can be perfectly synced to music which can even be sought. Everything works without WebGl.
Examples
- Perfect audio sync
- Zoom with gloom
- Follow mouse move and feedback effect
- Mouse controls to move and zoom
- Mouse zoom and mark regions
- Screenshot Lightbox
or in the index.html.

Installation
Install it for example with
npm i animationvideo
or include the dist/animationvideo.umd.js
directly into your project. It's recommended to import each needed component separately. Then you will need to install eases. You can install both together:
npm i animationvideo eases
General overview
The Engine of AnimationVideo will run Scenes that consists of Sprites that can be manipulated with Animations.
How to import
The best way to import components of AnimationVideo is the direct import of the modules.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import Norm from "animationvideo/Scenes/Norm.mjs";
import FastBlur from "animationvideo/Sprites/FastBlur.mjs";
import Image from "animationvideo/Sprites/Image.mjs";
import Forever from "animationvideo/Animations/Forever.mjs";
import ChangeTo from "animationvideo/Animations/ChangeTo.mjs";
import QuadInOut from "eases/quad-in-out";
This is possible with Webpack >= 4 and other packers. For older packers you can use the main package and extract the needed components.
import AnimationVideo from "lib/animationvideo";
const {
Engine,
Scenes: {Norm},
Animations: {Forever, ChangeTo},
Sprites: {Image, FastBlur},
Easing: {QuadInOut}
} = AnimationVideo;
For simple web projects you can include the js-file directly and use the global AnimationVideo
object.
<script src="dist/animationvideo.umd.js"></script>
<script>
new AnimationVideo.Engine(document.querySelector("canvas"))
.switchScene(
new AnimationVideo.Scenes.Norm({
reset: () => [
[
new AnimationVideo.Sprites.Rect({ clear: true })
],
[
new AnimationVideo.Sprites.Circle({
scaleX: 0.5,
scaleY: 0.5,
color: "#F00",
animation: new AnimationVideo.Animations.Forever([
new AnimationVideo.Animations.ChangeTo(
{
color: "#00F"
},
1000
),
new AnimationVideo.Animations.ChangeTo(
{
color: "#F00"
},
1000
)
])
})
]
]
})
)
.run();
</script>
Other examples are in the index.html.
Example
Here is how the code looks like in an example:
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import Norm from "animationvideo/Scenes/Norm.mjs";
import FastBlur from "animationvideo/Sprites/FastBlur.mjs";
import Image from "animationvideo/Sprites/Image.mjs";
import Forever from "animationvideo/Animations/Forever.mjs";
import ChangeTo from "animationvideo/Animations/ChangeTo.mjs";
import QuadInOut from "eases/quad-in-out";
// The Engine runs the scene "Norm"
new Engine({
// automaticly adjust the size of the canvas
autoSize: true,
// set the target canvas
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
// The Engine uses the scene "Norm"
scene: new Norm({
// load images beforehand
images() {
return { imageFile: "https://placekitten.com/400/400" };
},
// initialisation of the scene with sprites
reset() {
// the scene resets with two layers
return [
// first layer consits of a Image
[
new Image({
image: "imageFile", // show image "imageFile" that was loaded before
norm: true, // scale to full size
animation: new Forever([
// start animation
// scale larger for 10 seconds with a easing
new ChangeTo(
{
scaleX: 1.3,
scaleY: 1.3
},
10000,
QuadInOut
),
// scale back smaller for 10 seconds with a easing
new ChangeTo(
{
scaleX: 1,
scaleY: 1
},
10000,
QuadInOut
)
])
})
],
// second layer consits of a blur effect
[
new FastBlur({
compositeOperation: "lighter", // make a glow
gridSize: 10, // the glow has the size of 10 times 10
// pixel: true,
darker: 0.5, // turn down the glow
alpha: 0, // not visible
animation: [
// blend in the glow for half a second with easing
new ChangeTo({ alpha: 1 }, 500, QuadInOut)
]
})
]
];
}
})
}).run(); // start the engine
Engine
The Engine is the foundation of AnimationVideo that runs the system. It's a class that needs to be instantiated with new
. The parameter is an object or a canvas.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
// general setup
const engine = new Engine(canvasOrOptions);
// init with canvas
const engine = new Engine(document.querySelector("canvas"));
// init with object
const engine = new Engine({
// automatic scaling of the canvas - default false
autoSize: false,
// the canvas that is used by AnimationVideo
canvas: null,
// click event will be added to the canvas and send to an audio-scene
clickToPlayAudio: false,
// render only every second frame
// this is intended for mobile to save energy and prevent heating
// you could combine this with https://github.com/juliangruber/is-mobile
reduceFramerate: false,
// the current scene
scene: null
});
Constructor-option "autoSize"
This feature will auto scale the canvas. This dynamically creates a balance between quality and performance. You can fine tune the parameter. Setting this to false disable the auto-sizing (this is the default setting). Setting this to true enable the auto-sizing with the default values.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
const engine = new Engine({
// automatic scaling of the canvas - default false
// can be true to set default values
autoSize: {
// enable/disable this feature
enabled: true,
// Best scaling factor (1 = size of drawable canvas is the size of the visible canvas)
scaleLimitMin: 1,
// Worst possible scaling factor
scaleLimitMax: 8,
// a value > 1. Larger values change the scale faster.
scaleFactor: 1.1,
// function that gets the visible width of the canvas in pixel
referenceWidth: () => canvas.clientWidth,
// function that gets the visible height of the canvas in pixel
referenceHeight: () => canvas.clientHeight,
// the current scale / the start scale
currentScale: 1,
// the time that the system stays at least in the current scale in ms
waitTime: 800,
// how many ms the system must be too slow till the scale gets worse (higher)
offsetTimeLimitUp: 300,
// how many ms the system must be too fast till the scale gets better (lower)
offsetTimeLimitDown: 300,
// the target time - how much time a frame of the main loop should take
offsetTimeTarget: 1000 / 60,
// if the time of a frame of the main loop is different than the "offsetTimeTarget",
// it must be greater than "offsetTimeDelta" to be registered from the system
offsetTimeDelta: 3,
// adds events to recalculate the canvas size when the window
// resizes/orientation changes
registerResizeEvents: true,
// adds events to disable the auto-size-system if the window/tab losses focus
registerVisibilityEvents: true,
// sets canvas width and height by setting the style attribute of the canvas
setCanvasStyle: false,
// start values for the waitTime and the offsetTime
currentWaitedTime: 0,
currentOffsetTime: 0
},
// don't forget to set canvas, scene...
canvas: null //...
});
Commands
The instance of Engine has some functions to change the scenes.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
// init with canvas
const engine = new Engine(document.querySelector("canvas"));
// "recalculateCanvas" will trigger the scaling system of the auto-size-system
// (this will resize the canvas itself)
// after that it will trigger engine.resize()
engine.recalculateCanvas();
// "resize" will propagade a resize event to the sprite-objects of the current scene
engine.resize();
// "switchScene" will change the scene-object
engine.switchScene(scene);
// "run" starts the engine - returns a promise
/* await */ engine.run(/* optional: object with parameter that are given to the init-function */);
// "destroy" clean up the events, stops the main loop
// that was started with "run" - returns a promise
/* await */ engine.destroy();
Scenes
A scene controls what happens on the screen and in the engine. It uses Sprites and Animations.
Default
Default descries a Animation without sound on a canvas with a fixed size. In this canvas the coordinates of the top left corner is 0, 0 and the coordinate in the bottom right is the width, height of the canvas in pixels. This is the basic scene. All other scenes are based on this and add something special (f.e. add audio or the coordinates are special).
A scenes main task is to use the given layerManager to first move the objects of the layers and then to draw them.
There are a number of functions that are given to the constructor that are explained in this example. The functions can be combined in a object or a class:
import Engine from 'animationvideo/Engine.mjs'
import SceneDefault from 'animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs'
import TimingDefault from 'animationvideo/Timing/Default.mjs'
const engine = new Engine(document.querySelector('canvas'))
const classScene = new SceneDefault(class myScene { /*...same as in object...*/ });
const objectScene = new SceneDefault({
// "images" is an optional object that returns a list of urls (images) with handlers.
// The images will be loaded in parallel to calling "init". The scene will start
// after every image is loaded and init is done.
// can be a function that returns a object or a fixed object
images: {
'handlerName': 'http://image......' // list of images that will be loaded
}
// "init" is an optional function or async function and can return a promise.
// It will be run when the engine sets this scene. The scene will start
// after every image is loaded and init is done.
// - engine is the engine object this scene is running in
// - output is a object with canvas information
// output = {
// canvas: [], // the canvas objects
// context: [], // the context2d of the canvases
// width: 0, // the width of the canvas
// height: 0, // the height of the canvas
// ratio: 1 // the ratio between width and height
// }
// - scene is the scene object this object is running in
// - parameter are the parameter that are given from the
// last scene or the start parameter. The setup is always {
// run: ..., // the parameter given with the run command of the engine
// scene: ..., // the parameter given with the scene switch
// destroy: ..., // the parameter given from the last scene as return from the destroy function
// }
// - imageManager is the object that loads the images
async init({ engine, output, scene, parameter, imageManager }) {
// optional: wait till all images are loaded
// await imageManager.isLoadedPromise()
// set events or do precalculation...
// ...
}
// "destroy" is an optional function.
// It will run when the engine's destroy is called or
// when the engine switches a scene.
async destroy({ engine, scene, output }) {
// clean up code
// return parameter for the next scene
return {};
}
// "loading" is an optional function that replaces the loading animation
// can be empty to disable any loading animation. F.e. loading() {}
loading({ engine, scene, output, timePassed, totalTimePassed, progress, imageManager }) {
// replace the loading screen
const ctx = output.context[0];
const loadedHeight =
typeof progress === "number"
? Math.max(1, progress * output.height)
: output.height;
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
ctx.globalAlpha = 1;
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, output.width, output.height);

ctx.textAlign = "left";
ctx.textBaseline = "bottom";
ctx.fillText(
isNaN(parseFloat(progress))
? progress
: "Loading " + Math.round(100 * progress) + "%",
10 + Math.random() * 3,
output.height - 10 + Math.random() * 3
);
},
// "endTime" can set the operational time of the animation in ms.
// If the scene is running for "endTime" ms the scene
// will call the function "end".
// By default the value is undefined and thus "end" will never be triggered.
endTime: 1000,
// The function "end" will be triggered if the animation is running
// for "endTime" ms.
end({ engine, scene, output, timePassed, totalTimePassed, imageManager }) {
// f.e. switch scene at the end of a cutscene
}
// Timing is completely optional and describes how the time is updated and
// how often "fixedUpdate" is called

}),
// "isDrawFrame" is a optional function that will determine if a scene should be drawn
// If this function returns true it will still call "update" and "fixedUpdate" but
// it will not draw the sprites
// You can also return a frame count. F.e. return 2 will render the next 2 frames.
// You can return an array too, to give seperate values to different canvas.

Norm
This scene is similar to the Default-scene. But the coordinates are different: the middle of the canvas will be at 0, 0, left and bottom of the canvas at -1, -1 and the top right is at 1, 1. In addition the Norm has a function named transformPoint(x,y)
that will transform normal x, y coordinates of the canvas (f.e. mouse position) into Norm-coordinates.

Timing
Every scene is given a timing, that describes, how time is measured and how often the fixed update function is called. The default timing will measure the time with performance.now()
and call the fixed update 60 times in a second.
Audio
After setting a "audioElement" the time for the animation is given by this audio-element. "end" of the scene will be automatically called without giving "endTime".

Sprites
Sprites are the objects that are drawn on the screen. They are the main ingredient of an animation.
Image
Renders an image to the canvas. Can be a real image or the reference to an image loaded with the images routine of the scene. You can tint an image (give it a color), but this will create a new canvas in the background and can be slow.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Image from "animationvideo/Sprites/Image.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
// load images beforehand
images() {
return { imageFile: "https://placekitten.com/400/400" };
},
// initialisation of the scene with sprites
reset() {
return [
[
new Image({
enabled: true,
image: "imageFile", // name of the key of the image defined in "images"
x: 0, // position of the image
y: 0,
width: undefined, // width and height of the image. Undefined to take
height: undefined, // it from the original image.
rotation: 0, // use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
scaleX: 1, // scalling of the image
scaleY: 1,
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
position: Image.CENTER, // or Image.LEFT_TOP - pivot of the image
frameX: 0, // left corner of the sprite that will be cut out from an image
frameY: 0, // top corner of the sprite that will be cut out from an image
frameWidth: 0, // width of the sprite that will be cut out from an image
frameHeight: 0, // height of the sprite that will be cut out from an image
norm: false, // resize the image, so it hits the corner of the canvas
normCover: false, // resize the image, so it's completly covering the canvas
normToScreen: false, // it will be norm-ed to the visible, zoomed out screen, not to the full -1 to 1 canvas
animation: undefined,
tint: 0, // tint the image with the color "color". A value between 0 (no tint) and 1 (image is completly in this color)
color: '#fff' // color for the tint
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
You can also use Sprite Sheets. You can cut out a single Sprite with frameX, frameY, frameWidth, frameHeight. See the ImageFrame-Animation for an example.
Rect
Renders a rectangle in a color. Can be used in a short form to clear the screen.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Rect from "animationvideo/Sprites/Rect.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Rect({
enabled: true,
x: undefined, // Position - default upper left corner
y: undefined,
width: undefined, // Size - default full screen
height: undefined,
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
color: "#fff", // color of the rect
borderColor: undefined, // optional border color - undefined to disable the border
lineWidth: 1, // size of the border
clear: false, // clear the rect instead of filling with color
// resize the rect, so it hits the corner of the canvas
// default is true if x, y, width and height is undefined
norm: false,
animation: undefined
})
],
[
new Rect({ clear: true }) // <- short form to clear the full canvas
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Circle
Renders a circle in a color.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Circle from "animationvideo/Sprites/Circle.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Circle({
enabled: true,
x: 0, // Position
y: 0,
scaleX: 1, // scalling of the circle
scaleY: 1,
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
color: "#fff", // color of the rect
animation: undefined
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Path
Renders a "Path". With this you can render vector graphics. A special effect is the clipping. This will allow you to render stuff only inside the path.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Path from "animationvideo/Sprites/Path.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Path({
enabled: true,
x: 0, // Position
y: 0,
scaleX: 1, // scalling of the path
scaleY: 1,
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
path: "...", // the svg path or a Path2D-Object
color: undefined, // color to fill the path
borderColor: undefined, // color of the border of the path
lineWidth: 1, // line width of the border
clip: false, // true will render "sprite" inside the path
sprite: [], // the sprites that will be rendered inside the path if clip is true
fixed: false, // the position, rotation and scalling will be the same as the path itself
animation: undefined, // in the animation you can even morph the path with ChangeTo!
polyfill: true // "true" will inject a workaround for edge and older browsers if needed
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Text
Renders text at the canvas.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Text from "animationvideo/Sprites/Text.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Text({
enabled: true,
x: 0, // Position
y: 0,
scaleX: 1, // scalling of the text
scaleY: 1,
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
text: undefined, // Text to show
font: "26px monospace", // font to use
position: Text.CENTER, // or Text.LEFT_TOP - pivot of the text
color: undefined, // fill-color of the text
borderColor: undefined, // border color of the text
lineWidth: 1, // border size
animation: undefined
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Callback
Callback that will be called to manually render something on the canvas.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteCallback from "animationvideo/Sprites/Callback.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteCallback({
enabled: true,
// set the callback
callback: function(context, timePassed, additionalParameter, sprite) {
// in this function you can do whatever you want
context.drawImage(..);
....
};
animation: undefined
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
FastBlur
Creates a new Canvas and copies the screen on top of it. Because the new canvas is much smaller than the current one, the image will be blurred. You can use it to apply glow-effect or to copy the current screen to a part of the screen.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteFastBlur from "animationvideo/Sprites/FastBlur.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteFastBlur({
enabled: true,
x: undefined, // Position - default upper left corner
y: undefined,
width: undefined,
height: undefined,
norm: false, // is true by default if x, y, width and height are undefined. Set the size of the canvas to the original canvas size
scaleX: 1, // the scalled internal size of the canvas. F.e. if scaleX and scaleY is 2 then the the internal
scaleY: 1, // canvas has half of the size of the original canvas
gridSize: undefined, // if defined overrides scaleX and scaleY. The internal width and height of the canvas. Usefull for Norm-Scenes
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over", // "lighter" will give you a glow effect
darker: 0, // makes the picture darker by rendering a black color with alpha over the canvas. Useful for "lighter"
pixel: false, // will make the image look pixelated. This can be used to create a "censored" effect
clear: false, // clear the screen before rendering back to the screen from the canvas
animation: undefined // the animation
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
StarField
Renders moving "stars".
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Rect from "animationvideo/Sprites/Rect.mjs";
import StarField from "animationvideo/Sprites/StarField.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Rect({color: '#000'})
],
[
new StarField({
enabled: true,
x: undefined, // Position - default upper left corner
y: undefined,
width: undefined, // Size - default full screen
height: undefined,
// resize, so it hits the corner of the canvas
// default is true if x, y, width and height is undefined
norm: false,
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
color: "#fff", // color of the rect
count: 40, // how many stars
// where the stars moves to - you don't see anything if everything is zero
moveX: 0.,
moveY: 0.,
moveZ: 0.,
lineWidth: undefined, // size of the stars
highScale: true // false is faster, but true is needed for "Norm"-scenes
animation: undefined, // the animation
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Group
Renders a Group of Sprites. This is used to move them together or to apply effects at the same time.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import Group from "animationvideo/Sprites/Group.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new Group({
// the sprites that will be rendered inside
// f.e. [ new Rect({...}), new Image({...})]
sprite: [],
enabled: true,
x: 0, // Position - default upper left corner
y: 0,
scaleX: 1, // scalling of the path
scaleY: 1,
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
animation: undefined // the animation
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Canvas
Creates a new Canvas and renders sprites on top of it. For pre-rendering and feedback effects.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteCanvas from "animationvideo/Sprites/Canvas.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteCanvas({
// the sprites that will be rendered inside
// f.e. [ new Rect({...}), new Image({...})]
sprite: [],
enabled: true,
x: undefined, // Position - default upper left corner
y: undefined,
width: undefined,
height: undefined,
canvasWidth: undefined, // internal size of the canvas - can not be changed afterwards
canvasHeight: undefined, // internal size of the canvas - can not be changed afterwards
isDrawFrame: true, // true - draw all sprites always, false - draw only once, function is allowed too and called by frame
norm: false, // is true by default if x, y, width and height are undefined. Set the size of the canvas to the original canvas size
scaleX: 1, // the scalled internal size of the canvas. F.e. if scaleX and scaleY is 2 then the the internal
scaleY: 1, // canvas has half of the size of the original canvas
gridSize: undefined, // if defined overrides scaleX and scaleY. The internal width and height of the canvas.
rotation: 0, // rotation in radian. Use rotationInDegree to give values in degree
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over",
animation: undefined // the animation
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Particle
Renders a transparent colored circle on the screen. Used for particle effects.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteParticle from "animationvideo/Sprites/Particle.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteParticle({
enabled: true,
x: 0, // Position
y: 0,
scaleX: 1, // scalling/size of the particle
scaleY: 1,
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over", // render effect. Use "lighter" to get a glow.
color: "#fff", // color of the particle
animation: undefined
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Emitter
Renders a number of objects at once. All parameters can be modified with a function, so you can create powerful particle effects with one (complex) call.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteEmitter from "animationvideo/Sprites/Emitter.mjs";
import SpriteParticle from "animationvideo/Sprites/Particle.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteEmitter({
self: {
// parameter like in group that will be assigned to the emitter itself
},
class: SpriteParticle, // default is undefined. The sprite that should be genereated
count: 1, // number of sprites to generate
...
// each parameter will be part of the generated child
// if the parameter is a function the index will be given
// f.e.
// color: (i)=>`RGBA($(i),255,255,1)`
// compositeOperation: (i) => i % 2 ? "source-over" : "lighter"
// animation: (i) => [
// i * 10,
// new ChangeTo...
// ]
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Scroller
Scroller is a Emitter for Text. It will cut a full text in it's letters and each letter will be a Text sprite. A space will be created too but it will be disabled (enabled: false) by default.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteScroller from "animationvideo/Sprites/Scroller.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteScroller({
self: {
// parameter like in group that will be assigned to the scroller itself
},
text: "...", // the text that should be rendered
...
// each other parameter will be part of the generated child
// if the parameter is a function the index will be given
// f.e.
// color: (i)=>`RGBA($(i),255,255,1)`
// compositeOperation: (i) => i % 2 ? "source-over" : "lighter"
// animation: (i) => [
// i * 10,
// new ChangeTo...
// ]
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
StackBlur
A better but slower blur than FastBlur by Mario Klingemann. Creates a new Canvas and copies the screen on top of it. Because the new canvas is much smaller than the current one, the image will be blurred. You can use it to apply glow-effect or to copy the current screen to a part of the screen.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteStackBlur from "animationvideo/Sprites/StackBlur.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteStackBlur({
// settings from FastBlur
enabled: true,
x: undefined, // Position - default upper left corner
y: undefined,
width: undefined,
height: undefined,
norm: false, // is true by default if x, y, width and height are undefined. Set the size of the canvas to the original canvas size
scaleX: 1, // the scalled internal size of the canvas. F.e. if scaleX and scaleY is 2 then the the internal
scaleY: 1, // canvas has half of the size of the original canvas
gridSize: undefined, // if defined overrides scaleX and scaleY. The internal width and height of the canvas. Usefull for Norm-Scenes
alpha: 1, // transparency
compositeOperation: "source-over", // "lighter" will give you a glow effect
darker: 0, // makes the picture darker by rendering a black color with alpha over the canvas. Useful for "lighter"
pixel: false, // will make the image look pixelated. This can be used to create a "censored" effect
clear: false, // clear the screen before rendering back to the screen from the canvas
animation: undefined, // the animation
// Special settings for Stackblur
onCanvas: false, // will override all other settings and applies the blur directly on the underlying canvas. This is a big performence gain but you will lose some possible effects
radius: undefined, // the radius of the blur. The more the blurier.
radiusPart: undefined, // if radiusPart is set it will define radius as a part of the screen. Smaller values give more blur. radius = max(canvasWidth/canvasHeight) / radiusPart
radiusScale: true // scale the radius with the zoom factor of the cam in NormCamera-Scene and the scene autoSize Factor
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Animations
All sprites have a configuration for animation. This animation will be played back and is very precise, so can be synced to an audio source.
Sequence
Given an array of animation-commands, Sequence
will play back the commands one after another. You can define more than one array and they will be played back in parallel. The sequence finish when every array is finished. They don't repeat.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteRect from "animationvideo/Sprites/StackBlurCanvas.mjs";
import Sequence from "animationvideo/Animations/Sequence.mjs";
import ChangeTo from "animationvideo/Animations/ChangeTo.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteRect({
color: '#fff',
animation: new Sequence([
new ChangeTo({ color:'#f00' }, 1000),
new ChangeTo({ color:'#00f' }, 1000)
])
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Short form for Sequence
If you only have one array of animation-commands, you can give the array directly to the animations
-attribute and don't have to create a new [Sequence-Object].(#sequence)
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteRect from "animationvideo/Sprites/StackBlurCanvas.mjs";
import ChangeTo from "animationvideo/Animations/ChangeTo.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteRect({
color: '#fff',
animation: [
new ChangeTo({ color:'#f00' }, 1000),
new ChangeTo({ color:'#00f' }, 1000)
]
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
Short form for Wait
You can add a wait time by giving the Sequence a number as first parameter. This time can even be negative. A negative value will fast forward the animation to the point in time.
import Engine from "animationvideo/Engine.mjs";
import SceneDefault from "animationvideo/Scenes/Default.mjs";
import SpriteRect from "animationvideo/Sprites/StackBlurCanvas.mjs";
import ChangeTo from "animationvideo/Animations/ChangeTo.mjs";
new Engine({
canvas: document.querySelector("canvas"),
scene: new SceneDefault({
reset() {
return [
[
new SpriteRect({
x: 0,
y: 0,
width: 100,
height: 100,
color: '#fff',
animation: [
2500,
new ChangeTo({ color:'#f00' }, 10000),
new ChangeTo({ color:'#00f' }, 10000)
]
})
new SpriteRect({
x: 100,
y: 100,
width: 100,
height: 100,
color: '#fff',
animation: [
-2500
new ChangeTo({ color:'#f00' }, 10000),
new ChangeTo({ color:'#00f' }, 10000)
]
})
]
];
}
})
}).run();
