manim-examples

A collection of manim animations.

Running

This repo uses a Nix flake, so manim comes from the devshell:

nix develop --command manim render -ql path/to/scene.py SceneName

If you'd rather not type nix develop --command every time, enter the shell once:

nix develop
manim render -ql path/to/scene.py SceneName

Useful flags

Flag	Meaning
-ql	Low quality (480p15) — fastest, good for iterating
-qm	Medium quality (720p30)
-qh	High quality (1080p60) — use for final output
-qlh	Low file size, high quality
-a	Render every scene in the file
-p	Preview in a window after rendering
--progress_bar	Show a progress bar (not shown by default)

Rendered output lands in media/videos/<scene-name>/<quality>/.

Examples

# single scene, draft quality
nix develop --command manim render -ql cybersec/web/stored_xss.py StoredXSS

# every scene in a file, final quality
nix develop --command manim render -qh -a greeting.py

# preview while iterating
nix develop --command manim render -ql -p basic_scene.py

To see which scenes a file contains, run it with no scene name — manim will render every scene it finds:

nix develop --command manim render -ql cybersec/web/stored_xss.py
