How to display video on Canvas

To draw a video on a canvas we can use <video> DOM element similar to <img> element, but we have to frequently redraw the layer. For the purpose we can use Konva.Animation. As alternative you can use requestAnimationFrame and just call layer.draw().

Also take a look into this post for additional information: https://lavrton.com/case-study-video-editor-for-stream/

Instructions: click “play” button. You can drag&drop the image.

var image = new Konva.Image({
image: video,
draggable: true,
x: 50,
y: 20,
});
layer.add(image);

var text = new Konva.Text({
text: 'Loading video...',
width: stage.width(),
height: stage.height(),
align: 'center',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
});
layer.add(text);

var anim = new Konva.Animation(function () {
// do nothing, animation just need to update the layer
}, layer);

// update Konva.Image size when meta is loaded
video.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function (e) {
text.text('Press PLAY...');
image.width(video.videoWidth);
image.height(video.videoHeight);
});

document.getElementById('play').addEventListener('click', function () {
text.destroy();
video.play();
anim.start();
});
document.getElementById('pause').addEventListener('click', function () {
video.pause();
anim.stop();
});
