FAQ : How do you make these animations?
Animations are mostly made in Apple Keynote which has lots of functionality for animating shapes, lines, curves and text (as well as really good LaTeX). For some of the more complex animations, I use the Manim library. Editing and voiceover work in DaVinci Resolve.
