Question: Speed

[bdmorin]

Any plans to implement a speed option to speed up the animation?

There is a --low-quality option that speeds it up by rendering in lower quality - did you try that? But due to Manim library it still takes time to render video.

My bad, I wasn't clear - I meant playback speed. I was wondering if there was a way to have the final animation literally play faster, without fiddling with a player.

Does that make more sense? (sorry, getting over Covid)

Haha ahh ok I understand now! It looks like Manim does have a run_time parameter I can test out for this. If it works I'll create a new command-line option to control that. Great suggestion - I'll keep you posted.

Hi there, I pushed a new feature for this. You can now use the --speed command line option to change the animation speed.

Example to run twice as fast:
$ git-story --speed=2

Example to run half as fast:
$ git-story --speed=0.5

You'll need to update the git-story package using: pip3 install git-story -U
And make sure you see that the updated version 0.1.4 is installed after running that (if not, run it again).

I'll check this out, thank you!

Were you able to test this?

Just checking in - were you able to test this out?

Closing since feature was implemented.
