    Hello Community!
    I'd like to 2d-animate school planymetry with scripts as program code.
    Now I have pilot mp4 after screencast of svg-animation in browser.
    But may be Unity is more suitable for this project?
    I'd like to code libs for animation of geometry primitives (segments, circles, ...).
    Important to animate native pen-motion as trace of geometry primitives and
    to synchronize sound of pen-motion.
    I read Unity may create mp4. It's great for my project!
    What do you think about Unity selection as engine for 2d-animation with export mp4?

    can you show what kind of effects or video you want to create? (some reference images or charts, effects)

    its possible to do that, but i dont think its the easiest or most suitable for that.
    you could record mp4 video from any other application too, using screen recorders.

    Sorry for silent video and not fluent bit-rate ...

    My goal is to create animation as hand-written lecture.

    As for as js-code of short video with segment and caption "text": only 5 lines
    definition of segment points and definition of caption (color is given in css file)
    draw command.

    pen trace is result of native code of my js-library.

    I'd like to get in Unity an opportunity to code library (analog of my js-library) and to execute animation script.

    yeah, do-able, but wont be an easy task in unity..

    drawing lines and points is easier part though,
    but you'd need to program all those features mostly from scratch yourself..

    here's example of recording hand written characters,


    other option would be to build some animated mask/spline (for each letter),
    to make characters appear (reveal) as if drawn by pencil..
