(-1, 1)

### Save the animation
filename = 'animation.webm'
ani.save(filename, fps=6, extra_args=['-vcodec', 'libvpx'])

### get the URL path where file is served in a project in cocalc:
import os
dirs = os.getcwd().split('/')
project_id = dirs[2]
path = os.path.join(*dirs[3:]) if dirs[3:] else ''
url = os.path.join('/', project_id, 'raw', path, filename)
print(url)

/a34619e5-067a-491f-9bf6-18ace479ffb3/raw/Sandbox/animation.webm

### Show the animation in an html snippet

from IPython.display import HTML
HTML('''<video autoplay controls loop>
<source src="{url}" type="video/webm">
</video>'''.format(url = url))
