Manim
A community-maintained Python framework for creating animations
A community-maintained Python library for creating mathematical animations. Manim is a free and open-source project originally written by Grant Sanderson. It is now maintained by the Manim Community and permissively released under the MIT license. Manim was originally created by Grant Sanderson as a personal project and for use in his YouTube channel, 3Blue1Brown. As his channel gained popularity, many grew to like the style of his animations and wanted to use manim for their own projects. However, as manim was only intended for personal use, it was very difficult for other users to install and use it. Manim, or ManimCE refers to the community-maintained version of the library. This is the version documented on this website; the package name on PyPI is manim. ManimGL is the latest released version of the library developed by Grant “3b1b” Sanderson. It has more experimental features and breaking changes between versions are not documented. -

srt-whiteboard-animation
Make SRT into a streaming handwriting whiteboard hand-drawn animation
srt-whiteboard-animation is an AI skill for turning SRT subtitle files into hand-drawn whiteboard videos that follow the narrative order of the captions. It parses subtitles and recommends scene divisions, typically targeting segments of about 25 to 35 seconds. Each scene is planned around one core idea before artwork and annotations are prepared. Semantic drawing order connects visual elements to specific subtitle events rather than relying only on coordinates. A streaming renderer first reveals ink strokes and then progressively adds color. Users can adjust regions, timing, sequence, and subtitle associations in a browser preview before rendering scenes and merging them into a final MP4. -

ramjet
Morph DOM elements from one state to another with smooth animations
Ramjet is a JavaScript animation library for morphing one DOM element into another. It creates the illusion that interface elements can transform smoothly between different shapes, sizes, and positions. The library works by cloning elements, aligning the target clone over the source, and animating both elements until the transition appears continuous. It is useful for playful UI effects, animated state changes, visual transitions, and experimental web interactions. Ramjet can be applied to normal DOM elements and their children, which makes it more flexible than simple CSS transitions alone. Its main value is giving web developers an easy way to create cartoon-like transformation effects between separate elements on a page. -

UniMate
UniMate: One Unified Model to Animate Diverse Skeletons
UniMate is a generative motion model that animates rigged 3D assets with different skeletal structures from natural-language prompts. It is designed to handle bipeds, quadrupeds, birds, marine creatures, insects, serpentine rigs, and articulated rigid objects with one unified model. Its topology-aware diffusion transformer conditions generation on skeleton structure rather than requiring a fixed character template. The accompanying UniML3D dataset contains 13,006 text-paired motion sequences with unified skeletal canonicalization. Inference can generate motion for unseen skeleton topologies without per-skeleton retraining or test-time optimization. The same model supports text-guided motion editing, in-betweening, and longer motion expansion. Training, inference, data processing, and preview checkpoints are provided for research use. -

Animated Drawings
Code to accompany "A Method for Animating Children's Drawings"
AnimatedDrawings is a framework that converts user sketches or line drawings into fully animated 2D motion sequences using learned motion priors. The idea is that you draw a simple static figure (stick figure, silhouette, or contour lines), and the system produces plausible skeletal motion (walking, jumping, dancing) that adheres to the drawn shape constraints. The architecture separates shape embedding (to understand user-drawn geometry) from motion embedding / generation (to produce temporally coherent movement). Users can provide rough keyframes or control constraints (pose anchors), and the system fills intermediate frames with fluid animation. The repository includes demonstration apps and notebooks where you can upload or draw shapes and watch animations play. Because the approach is data-driven, it generalizes to new drawings even with varying proportions or stylizations. -

Text-to-lottie
Generate production-ready Lottie animations with Claude Code or Codex
lottie is an open-source framework for generating production-ready Lottie animations with coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex. It provides a text-to-lottie skill that helps an agent create animation projects from prompts, SVGs, screenshots, real data, or motion design instructions. Each generated animation lives as a scene inside a project and updates inside the included player as the agent edits the Lottie JSON. The project includes guidance for better prompts, including timing language, camera movement, frame rate, duration, and customizable controls. Generated files can be used directly as Lottie JSON or imported into After Effects for refinement. It is useful for designers and developers who want AI-assisted motion graphics while keeping the output inspectable, editable, and production-oriented. -

Animatable
One property, two values, endless possiblities
Animatable is an interactive web gallery that demonstrates which CSS properties can transition between two values. Each tile represents one property and continuously alternates between a defined starting and ending state. Visitors can animate every example at once or trigger individual demonstrations by hovering. Selecting a tile reveals the property name, both values, authorship information, and controls for moving to adjacent examples. Keyboard navigation supports Escape and the arrow keys for faster exploration. The page generates its keyframes dynamically with JavaScript and applies compatibility fixes through StyleFix. It serves as a visual reference and experimental showcase rather than a general-purpose animation library. -

Oil Motion
Create smooth, responsive interactive web animations
Oil Motion is an agent-agnostic skill for creating smooth interactive animations for websites and digital interfaces. Users describe the desired movement, available assets, and the interaction that should control it while the agent manages the production workflow. The system defines key states, generates continuous motion between them, reviews frames, removes artifacts, and prepares optimized assets. Animation progress can then be mapped to scrolling, mouse movement, dragging, touch input, device orientation, clicks, or component states. Reverse movement naturally follows the same frame sequence when the user reverses an interaction. The workflow also considers motion continuity, visual clarity, loading size, and mobile performance. It is suitable for product reveals, character interactions, demonstrations, data transitions, and narrative page sequences. -
