Description

I absolutely love the tool but faced this bug today, so thought I will report it.

Here's my excalidraw image: image

When I try to import it in excalidraw-animate it is animated, but slightly off-axis! This is a bit confusing, I have tried importing both via link and the .excalidraw file. Here's what it looks like:

If you observe, the red arrows are offset on y-axis by a few pixels, unlike the original drawing!

Attaching my .excalidraw image for reproduction of the bug here: day_16.excalidraw.zip

p.s: Attaching as a .zip as Github doesn't support .excalidraw format! 🤦

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the y coordinates of elements are transformed during animation. Compare the original Excalidraw coordinates with the animated output positions. Look for any coordinate scaling or offset issues in the animation generation code.
