Description

Description of proposed feature

The scenes are split with self.voiceover("Something here") as tracker: blocks, there should be an option to generate these frames in parallel.

How can the new feature be used?

This features will lead to better speed for builds

Additional comments

  • This doesn't need to be the case when you choose the Recorder option from manim_voiceover
  • But, for other voiceover options, you should offer parallel build and keep a file in system that keeps track of where things are, with data like position of objects and what they are, if they are present and animation on them is applied in a parallel build proceed, otherwise warn the user.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the with self.voiceover(...) as tracker: blocks trigger scene builds, and compare that path with the Recorder option in manim_voiceover. Define how parallel generation would track object and animation state, when it must warn, and how completion can be verified without changing Recorder behavior.
