About Manimotion

Manimotion generates videos from a single prompt, aimed at turning STEM lecture topics into motion graphics for talks, tutoring and products. You describe a topic and it plans the beats, writes narration, animates with Manim or Remotion and syncs the audio to the cut. A demo is available without an account, and starter topics such as derivatives, integrals, F equals ma and Euler's identity are ready in about one to two minutes.

For developers there is a public API: you send a request to its video endpoint with an API key, jobs run asynchronously, and you can bring your own R2 or S3 storage. The homepage says quality comes from planning first: a beat sheet keeps visuals, narration and timing on one plan with audio produced before the render, and the math engines and motion graphics are routed automatically or can be forced. The site has docs, pricing and settings pages, shows a v0.1 version label, and lets you pick a model and length before generating.
