Fabric js TypeError: Cannot read property 'clearRect' of null with animate() function

[dennisideaonce]

Fabric js has a method to animate the object:

            addedObject.animate('top', obj.top, {
              duration: 3000,
              onChange: canvas.requestRenderAll.bind(canvas),
              easing: fabric.util.ease['easeOutBack']
            });
  

I have some animations, which are done using the animate method. The problem is it gives me Cannot read property 'clearRect' of null. It is specifically due to onChange line in the animate function.

I followed this example: https://github.com/mifi/editly/blob/master/examples/customFabric.js

Any help is highly appreciated! Fabric js animate method: http://fabricjs.com/animation-easing

This works when we use in frontend(with fabric library) that is without editly. We are trying to create video of fabric js generated animations!

I think these kind of animations will not work in editly unfortunately, because editly renders frame by frame
