Feature: configurable ffmpeg timeout for Manim/compose (avoid false ERROR on long scenes) #13

@jmjava

Description

@jmjava

Problem

During docgen compose, ffmpeg can log ERROR: ffmpeg timed out on long Manim segments while still producing output (user saw this on a ~260s+ architecture video).

Proposal

  • Expose timeout (seconds) in docgen.yaml (e.g. under compose: or ffmpeg:) and/or CLI --ffmpeg-timeout.
  • Default high enough for 1080p30 multi-minute scenes or document recommended value.

Acceptance criteria

  • Timeout configurable
  • Log level distinguishes hard failure vs retry/warning if applicable
