Any plans to implement a speed option to speed up the animation?

There is a --low-quality option that speeds it up by rendering in lower quality - did you try that? But due to Manim library it still takes time to render video.

My bad, I wasn't clear - I meant playback speed. I was wondering if there was a way to have the final animation literally play faster, without fiddling with a player.

Does that make more sense? (sorry, getting over Covid)

Haha ahh ok I understand now! It looks like Manim does have a run_time parameter I can test out for this. If it works I'll create a new command-line option to control that. Great suggestion - I'll keep you posted.

Hi there, I pushed a new feature for this. You can now use the --speed command line option to change the animation speed.

Example to run twice as fast:
$ git-story --speed=2

Example to run half as fast:
$ git-story --speed=0.5

You'll need to update the git-story package using: pip3 install git-story -U
And make sure you see that the updated version 0.1.4 is installed after running that (if not, run it again).

Were you able to test this?
