[FIXED] Manim: FadeToColor vs. animate.set_color

Issue

I'm starting with this scene from a tutorial.

class BasicProgression(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        text = Text("Hello word")
        self.play(Write(text))
        self.play(text.animate.set_color(RED))
        self.wait()

From what I understand, the 2nd last line could be replaced with self.play(text.animate.set_color(RED)).

What is the difference, if there is any? Is one method faster?

Solution

I guess it's just a shorthand notation:
