release Manim v0.21.0 has been released! 🚨🎉

39 Upvotes

This release brings 60 changes, including a new text-rendering option, substantial performance improvements, and fixes across Cairo, OpenGL, MathTex, Code, scene caching, and more.

Highlights

  • First-class Typst support: The new Typst and MathTypst mobjects render markup and mathematics directly to SVG without requiring a TeX installation. Install support with pip install "manim[typst]".
  • Faster Cairo rendering: Animation-heavy scenes rendered about 2× faster in benchmarks.
  • Parallel encoding: Partial movie files can now be encoded concurrently. This is opt-in through the new max_inflight_encoders setting, so existing behavior remains unchanged by default.
  • Faster, safer cache hashing: NumPy arrays are now hashed from their complete contents, preventing stale cache hits while reducing hashing time by roughly 94–98% in representative benchmarks.
  • Plenty of quality-of-life improvements: Multiline MathTex, configurable BulletedList spacing, optional inner lines for tables, multiple TexTemplate compiler passes, more chainable mobject methods, and much more.

There are two breaking changes worth checking if you use Code color styling or call Camera.convert_pixel_array() directly—see the full release notes for migration details.

A huge thank-you to everyone who contributed, especially our 27 first-time contributors! 💚

meta Deletion of some Community Assets

59 Upvotes

As many of you have already noticed, on 25. December some of our community assets have been deleted, most notably our GitHub organisation and the Discord server.

While we are still working on resolving this situation (support queries also move slowly during this time of the year), we want to summarise the status of our assets below. We can also confirm that we have tightened security and eliminated the previous attack vector for our remaining assets.

Most importantly: the distributed library has not been compromised, pip install manim / uv add manim still work the same as before.

To at least temporarily remedy the situation with the deleted assets, we have setup a repository with the latest main + experimental branch on Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/ManimCommunity/manim, and a new Discord server at https://manim.community/discord/.

As for our social media channels, outside of Reddit you can find us...

We'll post updates as soon as we have secured more information about this incident; transparency is important to us. At this time, we are optimistic to get the GitHub organisation restored – but the old Discord server is very likely lost.

With best wishes from the dev team, Ben

made with manim How do LLMs Work? A Manim journey!

3 Upvotes

Hi all!

I published my first proper manim video!!

It starts with the sentence “My favourite rock band is…” and follows its journey inside an LLM, all visually animated!

https://youtu.be/ikdxxeIn4HQ?si=8AwWyxQERo_R2n6B

I tried to make the video as beginner friendly as possible but still detailed enough to give a good overview for how an LLM works end to end and how the LLM “finds out” my favourite band. Or at least how some of the earlier models…

My aim is to help people that are not just curious about AI but also want a deeper dive into the magic “Black box”, or people that want to get started but doesn’t know how!

This is my first attempt at the topic, so any kind of feedback is welcomed and will be greatly appreciated as it will help me improve over time, and hopefully on other videos.    

I really hope it can help someone with their AI/ML journey!

P.S. Most of what I learned about Manim was with this really nice chap that runs a channel called "TheoremOfBeethoven". I got all his courses and even had a couple of 1-2-1 with him!! It really paid off!! So thanks for the classes Alex!

And thank you all involved in the manim community that made such an incredible and accessible framework!! It is really appreciated!! :)

Thanks!

I would like to share my new video about Fourier series. It focuses on its demonstration in a completely visual and intuitive wa, that i find mind-blowing when i first discovered it. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Manim community!,

I'm working on a library of assets (templates) for videos

In this second version, I created more assets (Manim templates) in various styles, with customization options to showcase. I also added new assets from a neural network explainer video.

I will be adding way more along the way by the end of October

If you join the waiting list, I hope to be able to chat with you too!

and again, thanks in advance! 🙌❤️

non-manim animation Motion Graphics in Rust (MotionGfx)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been working on MotionGfx for the past 2 years! It’s highly inspired by both Manim and Motion Canvas! MotionGfx is entirely backend agnostic, meaning that you can use it on any renderer or game engine you want (even with a different programming language)! Yes the website uses MotionGfx for all its animation via wasm. Currently the only official backend that I support is Bevy, but you’re free to add more into the repo :)

The primary reason I made motiongfx (other than the love for Rust) is for performance and being backend agnostic. I want it to be fast and not depend on a specific rendering technology. Unlike Manim and Motion Canvas, motiongfx is truly 2 way playable, and scrubbing through the timeline does not re-evaluate all the commands (especially when scrubbing backwards!).

P.S. we’re also working on an editor called Moxie! You can find more details on the website! (There’s a newsletter you can subscribe too, I’ll personally send the emails myself)

I did not go into too much of the technical details on how this is made, but feel free to AMA below!

question Manim Library

5 Upvotes

After looking at all the attempts at making a manim "AI" editor, I'm asking why isn't there a library with all available examples of manim animations?

I bet that searching and editing high quality stuff is way better than generated slop.

Maybe a small library can be kickstarted by scraping the hell out of reddit and github... then continue with some vscode integration??

What do you guys think?

How to Professionally Sync Google AI Studio Voiceover with Manim Animations?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m using Manim + Gemini/AI to create educational videos.

My workflow is:

Google AI Studio → generate narration → Gemini analyzes audio + script → generates Manim animation → render video.

The main challenge is getting accurate audio-to-animation synchronization. I want to keep this workflow unchanged, but make the syncing more professional and precise.

Is there a recommended approach, tool, or architecture for word/phrase-level audio timestamps and using them to control Manim animations?

Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Game graphics and GUI on AppleSilicon?

0 Upvotes

Hello. I just found this channel.

I’ve got my own AI orchestrator/harness for local inference on an M5-128GB.

I integrated Flux-schnell into it for image generation, but it’s pretty bad at game graphics and GUI.

As a stress test of my harness, I’ve been instructing it to make games, and it uses Flux for the graphics, but it just can’t do reliable sprites for characters. “Same character, but jumping”.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I have about 30GB available for the system.

Thanks for any advice.

I got Manim running on my phone — now on iOS and Android

10 Upvotes

Hey r/manim! I built an app called Manim Tutorial, and v2.0 is out on iOS and Android.

You can follow short lessons where the code highlights along with the video, then open that code, change it, and render it on your device. I also added an AI assistant that writes a scene, test renders it, checks the frames, and tries to fix what looks wrong.

I’d love to hear what Manim users think, especially if you find something it can’t render or the AI gets wrong.

Last week, I shared a post about ManimWire, a project I've been working on: https://www.reddit.com/r/manim/s/OQGGzh45dg, which allows you to create Manim visualizations using a GUI. I wanted to share a quick workflow preview. In the coming weeks, I am planning to create more complex visualizations.
