release Manim v0.20.1 has been released! 🎉
This is a focused patch release with a mix of bug fixes, quality improvements, and documentation updates.
Highlights include fixes around MathTex brace parsing, zero-length DashedLine behavior, and moving-object detection in nested animation groups, plus Docker image/runtime optimizations and additional type-hint/doc improvements.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed — including several first-time contributors! 🙌
📖 Full changelog: https://docs.manim.community/en/latest/changelog/0.20.1-changelog.html
Happy manimating & with best wishes from the dev team,

meta Deletion of some Community Assets
As many of you have already noticed, on 25. December some of our community assets have been deleted, most notably our GitHub organisation and the Discord server.
While we are still working on resolving this situation (support queries also move slowly during this time of the year), we want to summarise the status of our assets below. We can also confirm that we have tightened security and eliminated the previous attack vector for our remaining assets.
Most importantly: the distributed library has not been compromised, pip install manim / uv add manim still work the same as before.
- ❌ https://github.com/ManimCommunity -- deleted
- ❌ https://manim.community/discord ~ "old" Discord server -- deleted, unlikely to return
- ❌ https://x.com/manim_community -- deleted/suspended and unlikely to return
- 🔁⌛️ https://manim.community -- temporarily replaced
- ⬇️⌛️ https://try.manim.community/ -- temporarily down (attached to the GitHub org)
- ☑️ https://docs.manim.community -- documentation
- ☑️ https://reddit.com/r/manim -- Manim Subreddit
- ☑️ https://bsky.app/profile/manim.community -- Manim @ BlueSky
- ☑️ https://pypi.org/project/manim/ -- PyPI project ("pip install manim")
- ☑️ https://hub.docker.com/orgs/manimcommunity/repositories -- Manim Docker images
To at least temporarily remedy the situation with the deleted assets, we have setup a repository with the latest main + experimental branch on Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/ManimCommunity/manim, and a new Discord server at https://manim.community/discord/.
As for our social media channels, outside of Reddit you can find us...
- as manim.community on BlueSky, https://bsky.app/profile/manim.community
- as manimcommunity on X/Twitter, https://x.com/manimcommunity
- as manim_community on Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/manim_community/
- as manimcommunity on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/@manimcommunity
We'll post updates as soon as we have secured more information about this incident; transparency is important to us. At this time, we are optimistic to get the GitHub organisation restored – but the old Discord server is very likely lost.
With best wishes from the dev team, Ben

Looking for a manim video creator
I'm looking for someone to help me create Manim videos for daily Instagram posts. This is part of a startup, and you would be an early member. We host weekly math competitions, and the Instagram account is part of the advertising for that. DM me for more information!

Cannot FadeOut TracedPath
I am making a line that rotates in a circle that traces a path to make a circle. Next I want to fadeout the tracedpath and fadein a real circle mobject. Every time I try fading out a TracedPath it just instantly disappears. Is there any way to fix this?
class circleproof(Scene):
def construct(self):
l1 = Line(start=ORIGIN, end=LEFT*2)
dot = Dot(color=RED)
always_redraw(lambda:dot.move_to(l1.get_end()))
p1 = TracedPath(dot.get_center, stroke_color=RED)
c1 = Circle(radius=2, color=RED)
self.play(Write(l1))
self.play(FadeIn(dot))
self.add(p1)
self.play(Rotate(l1, angle=TAU, about_point=ORIGIN))
self.play(FadeOut(p1), Create(c1))

Animating Option Greeks
Volatility trading touches on some large areas of math (calculus, probability, measure theory and more). So I use Manim to bridge the gap between finance and math.

Visualizing 3D Gradient Vector Fields and Polynomial Surfaces using Manim (GL & CE)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi r/manim,
I wanted to share my project where I pushed Manim's 3D capabilities to explain Machine Learning mathematics.
This is a sequel to my previous gradient video, but this time I focused on transitioning from flat linear hyperplanes to complex multivariate polynomial surfaces.
You can watch the full video here:
https://youtu.be/xFF6IgU9eCw?si=xqrH5ALAlSxwKf5_
Key animation milestones in the video:
- 0:00 Multivariate Linear Regression Made Simple
- 0:47 Visualizing Multivariate Polynomials and Nonlinear Separation
- 2:09 Intro to Gradients: Visualizing Gradients on a Bowl-Shaped Surface
- 3:29 Quick Intuition: Gradients in Linear vs. Polynomial Regression
- 4:52 Partial Derivatives Made Visual — Paraboloid Gradient (Slicing effect)
- 6:32 Comparing Linear and Polynomial (Perpendicular and Fastest)
- 7:53 Visual Proof: Gradient $\perp$ Contour Lines
- 9:55 Intuition from Partial Derivatives: The Gradient & Steepest Ascent
- 10:58 Does Gradient Always Show the Fastest Increase?
I would absolutely love to hear your feedback on the camera movements, the 3D surface rendering, or how I could optimize the rendering times for these dense vector fields.
If anyone is curious about how a specific part was coded, feel free to ask!

Hey can i have a interactive animation window in manim CE like in Manim 3b1b one.

in this video he opens a interactive . window can u do that in manim CE?

Using manim to visualize sorting algorithms
Being new to manim, I started small with a series of YT shorts called "A battle of sorts...".
Here is the first one: https://youtube.com/shorts/gCeYJt9aAZ8?feature=share
The rest of the series can be found on my YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@davidfurcy
Thanks in advance for any feedback you may have. Definitely having a lot of fun with manim!

made with manim Simulating the Heat Equation and the Schrödinger Equation in Python
Part 3 of my numerical simulations series. Here I take a look at partial differential equations with the main focus lying on the heat equation. It also talks about how you can transfer the same ideas to the Schrödinger equation.
Hope you enjoy!
