You can for instance combine the use of SnapshotEngine [*], with a subsequent call (after your simulation ends and all snapshots exist -- you may need to install an external package) to makeVideo [**]

You could also use (outside YADE) Paraview, after VTK export of relevant simulation data.

I should point out that Paraview is objectively superior to SnapshotEngine and should be considered the preferred method for post processing and visualization.
