Generate mathematical/explanatory animations with Manim (Python). Use for animated explainers, math visualizations, and step-by-step animations the user can render to MP4.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Manim Video
Manim is an animation engine (Python) for precise mathematical/explanatory videos. Write a scene, render it to MP4 with `manim`.
## When to use
- "animate / make a video showing …"
- Math derivations, algorithm visualizations, geometric constructions.
- Step-by-step explainers.
## Workflow
1. Write a Python scene file using the Manim API. Save with the `write` tool, e.g. `scene.py`.
2. Render: `manim -pql scene.py SceneName` (low quality preview, `-p` plays after). Use `-pqh` for high quality / final.
3. Output MP4 lands under `media/videos/...`. State the path.
## Minimal scene template
```python
from manim import *
class Squares(Scene):
def construct(self):
s = Square(side_length=2, color=BLUE)
self.play(Create(s))
self.play(s.animate.rotate(PI / 2).set_color(RED))
self.wait()
```
## Tips
- Keep scenes short and focused; one idea per scene.
- Animate one property change per `self.play(...)` step so it reads clearly.
- For text, use `MathTex` (LaTeX math) or `Text` (plain).
- Prefer `-ql` previews while iterating; switch to `-qh` only for the final render.

How to install
mdr add metaspartan/cybara/manim-video@sha256:331cc7cce2ef4589The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260624.52cbbd6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
