How to play a cutscene in HTML5 canvas

I am wondering if it is possible to play a video file from within a HTML5 Canvas without the video player settings cropping up.

For example, something like this:

ctx.playMovie("movie.mov")

I know it is possible to put a video player in the canvas, but I plan to make a cutscene player for my game. Is there a way to play a video file automatically once, or do I have to manually upload every frame of the sequence?

Yes, but is there a way to make it appear automatically instead of having to play the video first? – Jun 07 '16 at 13:25
Yes, add attribute `autoplay` to the video tag. – Mosh Feu Jun 07 '16 at 13:29
