Let's see how can be used to see the help area:

python.exe -m manim render --help
Manim Community v0.19.0

Usage: python -m manim render ...

Let's use this source code:

from manim import *

class AdvancedAnimation(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # Scene 1: Introduction
        title = Text("Advanced Animation with Manim").scale(0.76)
        self.play(FadeIn(title))
        self.wait(2)

        # Scene 2: Custom Animation
        circle = Circle().set_fill(color=BLUE, opacity=0.5)
        square = Square().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5)
        self.add(circle, square)
        self.play(
            Rotate(circle, angle=TAU),
            Rotate(square, angle=-TAU),
            run_time=2,
            rate_func=linear
        )
        self.wait()

        # Scene 3: Text Animation
        text = Text("This is a custom text animation", font_size=40).to_edge(UP)
        self.play(Write(text), run_time=2)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 4: Shapes Manipulation
        triangle = Triangle().shift(RIGHT * 2)
        self.play(GrowFromCenter(triangle), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 5: Transition to next scene
        self.play(Uncreate(triangle), FadeOut(text))

        # Scene 6: Final Animation
        final_text = Text("This is the end of our animation", font_size=50).to_edge(DOWN)
        self.play(FadeIn(final_text), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait(2)

# Run the animation
AdvancedAnimation()

Use this command to render:

python.exe -m manim render manim_test_001.py AdvancedAnimation -p
AdvancedAnimation -p
