GLMixer
Graphic Live Mixer
GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/ -

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.

Animates a numerical value by counting to it
CountUp.js is a dependency-free, lightweight JavaScript class that can be used to quickly create animations that display numerical data in a more interesting way. Install via npm/yarn using the package name countup.js. Despite its name, CountUp can count in either direction, depending on the start and end values that you pass. CountUp.js supports all browsers. MIT license. CountUp v2 is distributed as an ES6 module because it is the most standardized and most widely compatible module for browsers, though a UMD module is also included. To run module-enabled scripts locally, you'll need a simple local server setup, because otherwise you may see a CORS error when your browser tries to load the script as a module. CountUp is also wrapped as a UMD module in ./dist/countUp.umd.js and it exposes CountUp as a global variable on the window scope.
