Hi All,
I’m trying to get animated gif export via ccapture.js, there is an example here:
> [@How to save your p5.js sketch as a GIF using CCapture.js](https://discourse.processing.org/t/how-to-save-your-p5-js-sketch-as-a-gif-using-ccapture-js/1264/2):

You can grab 1 at the link below: robot[http://cdn.JsDelivr.net/npm/gif.js/dist/gif.worker.js](http://cdn.JsDelivr.net/npm/gif.js/dist/gif.worker.js) “index.html”: \ \ \ **[p5.js Web Editor](https://editor.p5js.org/jgl/sketches/HXrHh8ITH)**

But I get the error:
“ReferenceError: can’t access lexical declaration `bg’ before initialization (: line 45)”
Does anyone have a working version of CCapture exporting a gif on the p5.js web editor?
Cheers,
Joel

hi @jgl
Havn’t worked with CCapture but I am working on an animation loop library which supports GIF exports:
> **[p5.createloop](https://www.npmjs.com/package/p5.createloop)**
