Animation engine for explanatory math videos

For those who want to play around with this tool, I should be upfront that I've mostly had my own use cases (i.e. 3b1b videos) in mind while building it, and it might not be the most friendly thing to get up and running. In particular, I have not done a great job tracking requirements, and documentation is..well..sparse.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Requirements to be installed outside of pip: aggdraw ffmpeg latex

Here are directions that should work on any 64 bit platform (tested on osx 10.11.4)

This doesn't install freetype, but I don't think its required for this project

cd $TMPDIR
git clone https://github.com/scottopell/aggdraw-64bits
cd aggdraw-64bits
/usr/local/bin/python setup.py build_ext -i
/usr/local/bin/python setup.py install

Try running the following:

python extract_scene.py -p example_scenes.py SquareToCircle

-p gives a preview of an animation, -w will write it to a file, and -s will show/save the final image in the animation.
