Manimera CLI

Manimera comes with a dedicated Command Line Interface (CLI) to help you manage your animation projects efficiently.

1. Initialize a Project

Create a new project structure with default chapters and utility scripts:

manimera init MyProject

This creates a hierarchy:

• Chapter-000 / 001 / 002
  • assets/: For your local media files.
  • export/: Where your rendered videos and images go.
• scripts/: Production utility scripts (like cleaning).

2. Manage Chapters & Scenes

Add new chapters or scenes with boilerplate code automatically generated:

# Add a new chapter
manimera --add-chapter Introduction

# Add a scene (must be run inside a chapter folder)
manimera --add-scene MyFirstScene

3. Workflow Utilities

Clean your project or finalize your renders:

# Remove cache and clean assets
manimera clean

# Copy the latest render to the 'final' directory with context-aware renaming
manimera finalize # or use 'manimera mv'

4. List Project Structure

See an overview of your project's chapters and scenes:

manimera list

Quick Start

Here’s a basic example of creating a simple animation:

# ClockCreation.py
from manimera import *

# ClockCreation class
class ClockCreation(ManimeraScene):
    def create(self):
        clock = Clock()
        self.play(Create(clock))

# Entry point
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # This will auto-detect the `ClockCreation` class and render it.
    ManimeraRender()
