Autometa Animations

This repository contains the source code for the manim scenes I used to make the animations used in the Autometa documentation and the Kwan lab YouTube channel.

Rendering the animations

First you need to start the manim Docker container, making sure to mount the git repository directory, like this:

docker run -it --rm -v path/to/Autometa_animations:/presentation jasonkwan/manim:latest

Then at the bash prompt within the docker container, we need to run the setup script.

cd presentation
source ./setup_files.sh

To do a low-quality test render of a scene:

cd /manim
./manim.py -l --video_output_dir /presentation/videos animation_scenes.py Logo

...where "Logo" can be replaced by the name of any scene in animation_scenes.py. To re-do a render in 4K:

./manim.py -r "2160,3840" --video_output_dir /presentation/videos animation_scenes.py Logo
