code-video-generator

I built exactly this in my Manim-based library, code-video-generator [1] (via the code-video-generator command and the --slides flag). It basically turns any Manim scene.wait() call into a pause that I can then advance with a clicker. I used it for this video [2], where I was recording in front of a green screen, but wanted the exact control when the animation continued. code-video-generator played the video fullscreen, which I then captured via obs [3] and used the obs display as a monitor to see if I was pointing at the right spot. Was a bit tricky to get all set up but worked pretty well. [1] https://github.com/sleuth-io/code-video-generator [2] https://youtu.be/e21hJnB9J5k?t=44 [3] https://obsproject.com/

Related, if you want to create a code walkthrough video, I wrote code-video-generator [1] It uses Manim [2], an animation library commonly used by Math teachers, and adapted it to code walkthroughs. Just comment code as you do and it generates a video for it. I've been using it to generate visuals for youtube videos [3] with some success.

The demo video looks cool. It's maybe not obvious that there's a link to the code-video-generator (which is built on manim by 3blue1brown) demo video in the README: https://youtu.be/Jn7ZJ-OAM1g Source: https://github.com/sleuth-io/code-video-generator
