Create a New Project#

Once you have installed the Manim Editor you can start it by running manedit.

Tip

If the manedit command fails, try running python3 -m manim_editor instead.

The Manim Editor searches the current working directory (CWD) for Manim scenes which have been rendered using the --save_sections flag. Therefore you should run the manedit command where your media folder has been created.

That command launches a local web server on an open port. It presents an address which you can open in your browser. Here you can select any Manim Editor Projects you have already created.

When you create a new project, the editor asks you to select the scenes you want to be included in the new project. The order of the scenes can be adjusted with the priority; the smaller the priority the earlier that scene gets played.
