# Install from PyPI (coming soon)
pip install manim-studio
# Or install from source
git clone https://github.com/ebowwa/manim_studio.git
cd manim_studio
pip install -e .Quick Start without Installation: You can also run Manim Studio directly without installing by using python main.py instead of manim-studio in all examples.
- Create a configuration file (
hello_world.yaml):
name: "HelloWorld"
duration: 5.0
objects:
message:
type: text
text: "Welcome to Manim Studio!"
params:
gradient: ["#FF6B6B", "#4ECDC4"]
scale: 1.5
animations:
- target: message
animation_type: write
start_time: 0.0
duration: 2.0- Render your animation:
# Using the installed CLI command
manim-studio hello_world.yaml --preview
# Or run directly with Python (no installation needed)
python main.py hello_world.yaml --preview- Watch your creation come to life! 🎉
Choose your preferred workflow:
Let AI create animations for you:
# Use with Claude Desktop, Cline, or other MCP clients
# Install the MCP server and get full Manim Studio capabilitiesFull IDE integration for YAML editing:
# Generate Neovim plugin
manim-studio --interface nvim-plugin
# Start LSP server
manim-studio --interface nvim-lspFeatures:
- Auto-completion for object types, animations, and properties
- Real-time validation with error highlighting
- Hover documentation for all configuration options
- Live preview with
<leader>mp, render with<leader>mr - Template insertion for objects and animations
