In 2019 there was one quick attempt to render a HTML5 movie, which did work but was of low quality. Tuning was not attempted.
A web movie should be web friendly, not too big. And a movie is not the tool for deeply exploring the data, it's a quick overview. So, for second attempt, downsample images first then movize.
