I made a simple video player using react-konva and I want to display the first frame as a thumbnail before the video is played.
Here's my approach:
I'm using Konva.Image to display the video and Konva.Animation to update the image.
import Konva from "konva";
import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect } from "react";
import { Stage, Layer, Image, Text } from "react-konva";
function VideoPlayer({ width, height }) {
const video = useRef();
const image = useRef();
const anim = useRef();
const text = useRef();
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
useEffect(() => {
anim.current = new Konva.Animation(() => {
image.current.image(video.current);
}, image.current.getLayer());
});
return (
<div>
<button
onClick={() => {
text.current.destroy();
video.current.play();
anim.current.start();
}}
>
PLAY
</button>
<button
onClick={() => {
video.current.pause();
anim.current.stop();
}}
>
PAUSE
</button>
<video
style={{ display: "none" }}
ref={video}
onLoadedData={() => {
setLoading(false);
}}

/>
<Stage width={window.innerWidth} height={window.innerHeight}>
<Layer>
<Text
ref={text}
text={loading ? "Loading..." : "Press PLAY..."}
{...{
width: window.innerWidth,
height: window.innerHeight,
align: "center",
verticalAlign: "middle"
}}
/>
<Image
x={100}
y={100}
ref={image}
width={width}
height={height}
stroke="black"
/>
</Layer>
</Stage>
</div>
);
}
export default VideoPlayer;
I have created a working demo of my implementation here.
You can use a hook to:
const usePreview = (url) => {
const [canvas, setCanvas] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const video = document.createElement("video");
video.src = url;
const onLoad = () => {
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = video.videoWidth;
canvas.height = video.videoHeight;
video.currentTime = 1;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(video, 0, 0);
setCanvas(canvas);
};
video.addEventListener("canplay", onLoad);
return () => video.removeEventListener("load", onLoad);
}, [url]);
return canvas;
};
