Usage

FramedVideoGenerator works with a base image (The background image for our generated video) and an array of images, which will form the overlay animation. To manage this we will use URLs.

import { FramedVideoGenerator } from "react-native-framed-video-generator";
const json = require("./data.json");

FramedVideoGenerator.create(
  json["baseImage"],
  json["framesArray"],
  callback => {
    this.setState({
      videoUrl: callback
    });
  }
);

We get the data from a JSON:

{
  "baseImage": "https://image.ibb.co/eakAUd/moon.jpg",
  "framesArray": [
