Codim: A Programming Animation Generator

Codim is software that can be used to script videos easily with Lua. For example, take this Lua script:

local cm = require('codim')

cm.output('out.mp4', {
	-- Settings to make a typical 600x400 mp4
	sample_rate = 44100,
	width = 600,
	height = 400,
	fps = 24,
})

-- sin(x) but with range [0,1] and period of 1s
function mysin(x)
	return (math.sin((2*math.pi)*x) / 2.0) + 0.5
end
function mycos(x)
	return mysin(x+(1/4))
end

-- This function changes each frame based on `t`,
-- the number of seconds of the video.
cm.procedural(0, 10, function(t)
	-- cm.changebg(r, g, b) changes the background
	cm.changebg(0.0, mycos(t), mysin(t))
end)

This is the output: https://github.com/ancientstraits/codim/assets/73802848/6dbc4b20-cf88-4abc-bf2d-84587fc9dd10

Progress

Codim is an extremely new (albeit two years old) program, so it is still in development. Soon, it will get a controllable text editor.
