请用Manim给我制作一个导数概念学习的视频,要求通俗易懂,并且有例子,引人思考。配音使用edge-tts

Make it yours. Replace "导数概念" (the concept of the derivative) with the topic to teach, and keep "通俗易懂,并且有例子,引人思考" (easy to follow, with examples, thought-provoking). The prompt and the narration are both in Chinese.

Narrated lesson on derivatives, in Chinese

A 7:37 Chinese-language calculus lesson on what a derivative is, with worked examples and edge-tts narration, animated in Manim. Opus 5.5 made it from a one-sentence prompt asking for a lesson that is easy to follow, uses examples, and makes you think.

You'll need

  • Python with Manim
  • edge-tts, a Python package for Microsoft Edge's text-to-speech voices
How it was made

The creator says Opus 5.5 is clearly very good at using Manim.

Prompt from: Post body, in a code block

Look notesby Reference

A blackboard-style math lesson in the 3Blue1Brown manner: dark background, cyan curves, color-coded formulas, and Chinese headings and subtitles.

Color
Near-black navy with cyan curves, yellow headings and points, orange tangent lines and highlights, green and red for the terms being tracked, and white text.
Type
Chinese headings in yellow at the top left, typeset formulas with color-coded terms and labeled boxes, and white Chinese subtitles along the bottom.
Framing
One idea per frame: a graph on axes with labels beside it, or a centered derivation. Annotations sit next to the part of the formula or curve they explain.
Sound
edge-tts narration, which the prompt asks for.
Structure
Speed as distance over time with a car and a speedometer, ending at 0 ÷ 0 = ?; average speed on s = t²; a table of shrinking Δt closing in on 2; the limit definition of f′(x) with each part labeled; the worked example x² to 2x; y = x² beside its derivative 2x; peaks and valleys where f′ = 0, with real-world uses; y = |x| under a magnifying glass at ×88; and closing "想一想" (think about it) questions.
