Help with SplitScreenCamera Module: Setting Up and Animating Multiple Scenes

[Sasi0026]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a project where I need to use the SplitScreenCamera module to divide the screen into two sections and animate different scenes in each split. While I've referred to the source code, I'm having trouble setting it up and making it work correctly.

Specifically, I could use help with the following:

How to configure and set up the SplitScreenCamera module properly.
A step-by-step example to animate different scenes or objects in the left and right splits of the screen.
If anyone could provide guidance or share an example implementation, I'd greatly appreciate it. Any tips or best practices for using this module would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

You can animate different things in different parts of the scene when you use updaters. I would think that this is much simpler than trying to program two sub-scenes in parallel. I would suggest that you come over to Discord rather than hoping to get answers here - there is a much more active community over there and we might have tips to achieve your goal without using poorly documented, highly specialized functions in Manim.

I imagine that - whatever this SplitScreenCamera acutally is (I have never seen or used it) - it was meant for showing the same scene from different angles, but not for completely separate scenes.

In the source code to the SplitScreenCamera and its parent class OldMultiCamera you can read that both of these classes are considered to be deprecated by the developers:
