Export video or image sequence from HTML5 canvas?

This is probably a super n00b question, but here's the situation. I have created a short animation in HTML5 that I need to export as a video or image sequence. Is that possible? I have read many tutorials and tried all the ways mentioned but if anything I am only able to export the first frame using the methods I've discovered. Is there a dedicated way to do this?

Thanks

    Hi.

    The best option would be to extend the main timeline making your animation playable/viewable even in the authoring environment. In this way, you can easily export the content as you wish.

    You can as well convert your document to AS3 and use the export video option. There you can specify if the content will be recorded until the end of the main timeline or if it will be recorded for a specied amount of time.

    But, if none of this is practical for your project, I guess you are going to need some good screen recorder like OBS Studio.
