How I built a realtime editor for ManimGL
Описание и применение
Manim Studio ускорил цикл создания анимаций, предоставив живой просмотр, редактируемую шкалу времени и командную строку, устранив необходимость рендеринга после каждой правки.
Задача
The iteration loop for Manim animations was slow and felt like a render‑wait‑tweak cycle, lacking a true editing experience.
Результат
Manim Studio reduced the edit‑render‑tweak cycle to instant preview and drag‑based timeline editing, improving iteration speed and providing a production‑grade, test‑driven editor.
Рабочий процесс
- Write scene code in the Scintilla editor
- Save file to trigger live preview
- Scrub or drag timeline to adjust animation timing
- Export final video or still with one‑click
Доказательства
With AI helping write the code, we built Manim Studio, a realtime desktop editor for ManimGL scenes: code on the left, a live preview on the right, a scrubbable timeline below.
The trouble is the making. My loop was always the same: write a scene, wait for the render, watch the result, tweak one number, wait again.
We built Manim Studio: realtime preview, editable timeline, one‑click export, and a CLI for everything.
Three shippable states, each with a job to do: 0.1.0, 1.0.0, 1.1.0.
