+
+
+
+
+
+ From code to classroom-ready videos, powered by agents that teach.

+
+## 🌟 Overview
+
+
+ 
+
+
+**Code2Video** is an **agentic, code-centric framework** that generates high-quality **educational videos** from knowledge points.
+Unlike pixel-based text-to-video models, our approach leverages executable **Manim code** to ensure **clarity, coherence, and reproducibility**.
+
+**Key Features**:
+- 🎬 **Code-Centric Paradigm** — executable code as the unified medium for both temporal sequencing and spatial organization of educational videos.
+- 🤖 **Modular Tri-Agent Design** — Planner (storyboard expansion), Coder (debuggable code synthesis), and Critic (layout refinement with anchors) work together for structured generation.
+- 📚 **MMMC Benchmark** — the first benchmark for code-driven video generation, covering 117 curated learning topics inspired by 3Blue1Brown, spanning diverse areas.
+- 🧪 **Multi-Dimensional Evaluation** — systematic assessment on efficiency, aesthetics, and end-to-end knowledge transfer.

+
+## 🚀 How to Create -- Code2Video
+
+
+ 
+
+
+### 1. Requirements
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+````
+
+### 2. Configure LLM API Keys
+
+Fill in your **API credentials** in `gpt_config.json`.
+
+* **LLM API**:
+ * Required for Planner & Coder.
+ * Best Manim code quality achieved with **Claude-4-Opus**.
+* **VLM API**:
+ * Required for Planner Critic.
+ * For layout and aesthetics optimization, provide **Gemini API key**.
+ * Best quality achieved with **gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06**.
+
+* **Visual Assets API**:
+
+ * To enrich videos with icons, set `ICONFINDER_API_KEY` from [IconFinder](https://www.iconfinder.com/account/applications).
+
+### 3. Run Agents
+
+We provide two shell scripts for different generation modes:
+
+#### (a) Full Benchmark Mode
+
+Script: `run_agent.sh`
+
+Runs all (or a subset of) learning topics defined in `long_video_topics_list.json`.
+
+```bash
+sh run_agent.sh
+```
+
+**Important parameters inside `run_agent.sh`:**
+
+* `API`: specify which LLM to use.
+* `FOLDER_PREFIX`: name prefix for saving output folders (e.g., `TEST-LIST`).
+* `MAX_CONCEPTS`: number of concepts to include (`-1` means all).
+* `PARALLEL_GROUP_NUM`: number of groups to run in parallel.
+
+---
+
+#### (b) Single Knowledge Point Mode
+
+Script: `run_agent_single.sh`
+
+Generates a video from a single **knowledge point** specified in the script.
+
+```bash
+sh run_agent_single.sh --knowledge_point "Linear transformations and matrices"
+```
+
+**Important parameters inside `run_agent_single.sh`:**
+
+* `API`: specify which LLM to use.
+* `FOLDER_PREFIX`: output folder prefix (e.g., `TEST-single`).
+* `KNOWLEDGE_POINT`: target concept, e.g. `"Linear transformations and matrices"`.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Project Organization
+
+A suggested directory structure:
+
+```
+Code2Video/
+│── agent.py
+│── run_agent.sh
+│── run_agent_single.sh
+│── api_config.json
+│── ...
+│
+├── assets/
+│ ├── icons/ # downloaded visual assets cache via IconFinder API
+│ └── reference/ # reference images
+│
+├── json_files/ # JSON-based topic lists & metadata
+├── prompts/ # prompt templates for LLM calls
+├── CASES/ # generated cases, organized by FOLDER_PREFIX
+│ └── TEST-LIST/ # example multi-topic generation results
+│ └── TEST-single/ # example single-topic generation results
+```
+
+

+
+## 📊 How to Evaluate -- MMMC
+
+We evaluate along **three complementary dimensions**:
+
+1. **Knowledge Transfer (TeachQuiz)**
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 eval_TQ.py
+ ```
+
+2. **Aesthetic & Structural Quality (AES)**
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 eval_AES.py
+ ```
+
+3. **Efficiency Metrics (During Creating)**
+
+ * Token usage
+ * Execution time
+
+
+👉 More data and evaluation scripts are available at:
+[HuggingFace: MMMC Benchmark](https://huggingface.co/datasets/YanzheChen/MMMC)

+
+## 🙏 Acknowledgements
+
+* Video data is sourced from the **[3Blue1Brown official lessons](https://www.3blue1brown.com/#lessons)**.
+ These videos represent the **upper bound of clarity and aesthetics** in educational video design and inform our evaluation metrics.
+* We thank all the **Show Lab @ NUS** members for support!
+* This project builds upon open-source contributions from **Manim Community** and the broader AI research ecosystem.
+* High-quality visual assets (icons) are provided by **[IconFinder](https://www.iconfinder.com/)** and **[Icons8](https://icons8.com/icons)**, which were used to enrich the educational videos.

+{regenerate_note}
+
+1. Basic Requirements:
+- Use the provided TeachingScene base class without modification.
+- Each lecture line must have a matching color with its corresponding animation elements.
+- Apply ONLY color changes to lecture lines - no scaling, translation, or Transform animations.
+
+2. Visual Anchor System (MANDATORY):
+- Use 6x6 grid system (A1-F6) for precise positioning.
+- Pay attention to the positioning of elements to avoid occlusions (e.g., labels and formulas).
+- All labels must be positioned within 1 grid unit of their corresponding objects
+- Grid layout (right side only):
+```
+lecture | A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6
+ | B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6
+ | C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6
+ | D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6
+ | E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6
+ | F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6

+3. POSITIONING METHODS:
+- Point example: self.place_at_grid(obj, 'B2', scale_factor=0.8)
+- Area example: self.place_in_area(obj, 'A1', 'C3', scale_factor=0.7)
+- NEVER use .to_edge(), .move_to(), or manual positioning!
+
+4. TEACHING CONTENT:
+- Title: {section.title}
+- Lecture Lines: {section.lecture_lines}
+- Animation Description: {'; '.join(section.animations)}
+
+5. STRUCTURE FOR CODE:
+Use the following comment format to indicate which block corresponds to which line:
+```python
+# === Animation for Lecture Line 1 ===
+
+6. EXAMPLE STRUCTURE:
+```python
+from manim import *
+
+{base_class}
+
+class {section.id.title().replace('_', '')}Scene(TeachingScene):
+ def construct(self):
+ self.setup_layout("{section.title}", {section.lecture_lines})
+
+ # rest of animation code
+ # === Animation for Lecture Line 1 ===
+ ...
+
+ # === Animation for Lecture Line 2 ===
+ ...
+```
+
+7. MANDATORY CONSTRAINTS:
+- Colors: Use light, distinguishable hexadecimal colors.
+- Scaling: Maintain appropriate font sizes and object scales for readability.
+- Consistency: Do not apply any animation to the lecture lines except for color changes; The lecture lines and title's size and position must remain unchanged.
+- Assets: If provided, MUST use the elements in the Animation Description formatted as [Asset: XXX/XXX.png] (abstract path).
+- Simplicity: Avoid 3D functions, complex panels, or external dependencies except for filenames in Animation Description.

+- Overlap: Animation elements (formulas, labels, shapes) overlapping
+- Off-screen: Elements cut off or outside visible area [ESPECIALLY for LONG LABEL]
+- Grid violations: Poor grid space utilization
