# Motion Graphics This skill enables the creation of programmatic motion graphics and animations within the Manus sandbox environment. ## Core Workflow To create a motion graphics video, follow these steps: 1. **Define Animation Parameters**: Determine the resolution (e.g., 1280x720), duration (e.g., 5 seconds), and framerate (e.g., 30 FPS). 2. **Choose an Implementation Strategy**: * **Frame-by-Frame (Recommended)**: Use Python with `Pillow` to draw each frame as an image, then assemble them with `FFmpeg`. * **FFmpeg Filters**: Use complex filtergraphs for simpler animations like scrolls, zooms, and overlays. * **Matplotlib Animation**: Best for mathematical or data-driven motion graphics. 3. **Implement the Script**: Create a Python script (refer to `scripts/generate_motion.py` for a template) that: * Calculates a `progress` variable (0.0 to 1.0) for each frame. * Draws elements (shapes, text, images) based on the progress. * Saves frames as numbered files (e.g., `frame_0001.png`). 4. **Assemble and Encode**: Use `FFmpeg` to combine frames into a final video file (e.g., `.mp4`). 5. **Clean Up**: Delete all temporary frame files after the video is generated. ## Bundled Resources ### Scripts - `scripts/generate_motion.py`: A template script for frame-by-frame animation using Pillow and FFmpeg. ### References - `references/techniques.md`: Detailed guide on animation techniques, FFmpeg filters, and best practices for high-quality
