I built a tool that turns text prompts into full Manim videos with voiceover
Hey, I've been building Ada Studio, a tool that lets you generate Manim explainer videos from text prompts, including voiceover narration. I'm a student at DTU (Danish Technical University) and started it as part of a research project.
I've been using Manim for a while and love what it can do, but I wanted to make it more accessible for people who don't have the time or coding background to write Manim scenes from scratch. So I built a platform where you describe what you want to visualize, it plans the video structure, and then generates it.
Here's an example; this Pythagorean theorem explainer was generated from a short conversation:
Video generated by the system from a short conversation
A few things about how it works:
- Videos can be up to 5 minutes with voiceover
- It plans the video structure before generating and lets you adjust
- A typical 5-minute video is around 500 lines of clean Manim code
I'd genuinely love feedback from this community since you all know Manim better than anyone. Drop a concept in the comments and I'll try to generate a video for it
You can also try it for free at adastudio.io — currently limited to 5 minutes per user since I'm financing everything myself, but enough to get a feel for it.
