A TypeScript library for creating animated data visualization videos, rendering charts like bar chart races, line, pie, and map charts via the Canvas API. It exports videos directly frame-by-frame, optionally using FFmpeg (wasm or local) instead of screen recording.

Use cases

• create animated bar chart race videos from data
• generate data visualization animation videos without screen recording
• render charts to video at any resolution and frame rate
• make animated intro/outro video segments from datasets
• export transparent-background chart animations
• programmatically build custom animated chart components

When to choose

• you want to turn ranked time-series data into polished animation videos
• you need deterministic frame-by-frame video export with stable FPS
• you want a programmable Canvas-based charting animation library
• you need transparent background or arbitrary resolution output

When to avoid

• you need a no-code GUI tool - it requires reading source and writing TypeScript
• you need static charts or interactive dashboards rather than rendered video
• you need a maintained, actively developed project - releases stopped in 2023
• you need server-side charting for web apps rather than video output
