Manim Community
A free Python library for making precise, 3Blue1Brown-style maths and data animations, rendered straight to MP4 on your own computer.
What you can do with it
- Animated explainers for maths, science and coding
- Bar charts and graphs that build themselves on screen
- Vertical 1080x1920 clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok
Worth knowingEverything is written in Python, with no timeline editor. Classic equations (MathTex) and the default chart and axis numbers need a separate LaTeX install such as MiKTeX, unless you switch to Text labels and the optional Typst extra.
