How Claude makes a video
No footage is generated. Claude writes code that draws every frame: an HTML page with SVG and JavaScript, a React or Remotion project, Three.js or WebGL, or Blender driven from Python. Then it steps a headless browser or Blender through the frames and pipes them into ffmpeg. Music and sound effects are usually synthesized in code too.
Because every frame is a function of time, text, logos, prices and UI come out sharp and spelled right, loops close perfectly and sound lands on the exact frame.
- Deedy Das's launch film used only JavaScript, Playwright and ffmpeg, and cost about $2 of API time.
- 0kncn's 90-second anime was built shot by shot in Blender from Python, with a soundtrack written in numpy.
- Sarutobi Sasuke's cocktail explainer is one HTML file of SVG and plain JavaScript with no animation library, finished in about 25 minutes.
- Peter Gostev's Istanbul scene, the most liked of the Fable 5.2 videos, ran on Fable 5.2 Max for about $46.
How to make motion graphics with Claude
Open Claude Code in an empty folder
Claude Code comes with Claude Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise, not Free. Pick Opus 5.5 for product launch films and motion graphics, or Fable 5.2 for 3D worlds and short films; Fable 5.2 also needs Pro or higher. Several makers said they installed no skills or plugins.
mkdir launch-film && cd launch-film claude --model claude-opus-5-5 # or: claude --model claude-fable-5-2Give it a prompt and your material
The prompt that went around X is below. Add your site so Claude reads the pages and writes the script itself; a logo, a screenshot or a reference video helps it match your look.
make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are for https://your-site.com. Visit the pages first to learn about the product, then write the video content yourself. Go all out.Let it render, then say what's wrong
Expect a few minutes to an hour and a half. Ask for an MP4 at a set resolution and frame rate, or a single HTML page you can share. Then ask for a slower pace, a royalty-free track or another aspect ratio.

Told only to choose a SaaS people know and make a professional launch video, Opus picked Notion, pulled real assets from the web and cut a polished feature film.
Show the prompt (verbatim)
I want you to create a highly professional SaaS product launch video. Go and find some SaaS, preferably just one that people know, so it's easier to identify with it. Pick that, and then make sure to get actual assets and images and all of that stuff from the internet. Turn it into these typical, very professionally edited, motion-graphics-styled product launch videos that you see people making on Twitter when they launch new SaaS products (which are showing off the features, the benefits, and all of these things).

TanStack AI: a developer-tool launch film
Shivay Lamba (@HowDevelop) · Claude Opus 5.5 · 25 likes · 4.4K views
Made with Opus 5.5 and Remotion from one long brief for a premium launch film fit to open a keynote.
Show the prompt (verbatim)
Create and render a 15-second motion graphics video introducing TanStack AI. Make it feel like a premium developer-tool launch film produced by Studio1: fast, precise, visually surprising, and polished enough to open a keynote or lead a social campaign. Use the TanStack AI feature details below as the source of truth. Studio1 is presenting the film; do not imply Studio1 built TanStack AI. Format and deliverables - 1920×1080, 30 fps, exactly 15 seconds; keep important content within a 9:16-safe central area. - Deliver the rendered MP4 and the editable project/source. Use Remotion or another code-based motion graphics workflow if available. - Use real, editable typography and vector-style graphics. Do not rely on AI-generated text inside images. - Add an original electronic sound design: a restrained opening pulse, tightly synchronized transition hits, rising - Add an original electronic sound design: a restrained opening pulse, tightly synchronized transition hits, rising momentum, and a satisfying final resolve. The story must also work muted. Visual direction Dark graphite canvas; luminous gradients and controlled flashes inspired by TanStack’s identity. Crisp typography, kinetic code, layered interface fragments, streaming data, branching paths, and smooth camera moves with convincing depth. High contrast and immaculate spacing. Every transition should visually demonstrate a feature, rather than simply replace one title card with another. Keep all on-screen wording brief and legible. Avoid generic stock footage, spinning logos, fake dashboards, excessive glitch effects, and tiny code nobody can read. Exact 15-second sequence - 0:00–0:02 — Hook: A single prompt cursor blinks. It sends one signal that expands into a network of possibilities. On-screen: “What can one AI API become?” - 0:02–0:04 — Core and providers: The signal resolves into chat(); provider nodes connect and swap rapidly without breaking the central flow. On-screen: “chat() · 24 providers” - 0:04–0:06.5 — Multimodal: One continuous stream transforms into text, waveform, image frame, and video timeline. On-screen: “One pattern. Every modality.” - 0:06.5–0:09 — Agents and tools: The stream branches into sandboxed agent runs, then reaches external tools through MCP. Show distinct runs progressing in parallel. On-screen: “Agents · Sandboxes · MCP” - 0:09–0:11.5 — Reliability: An interrupted stream freezes, reconnects, and resumes from the same point; a clean type-check confirmation snaps into place. On-screen: “Persistent. Durable. Type-safe.” - 0:11.5–0:15 — Reveal: All paths converge into a bold final composition: “TanStack AI” followed by “Build what’s next.” Add a small “A Studio1 film” credit, visually subordinate to TanStack AI. Hold the final frame long enough to read it. Accuracy guardrails The supplied article says TanStack AI is in the release candidate phase, supports 24 providers, uses AG-UI, and offers composable chat(), media generation, sandbox and agent-harness primitives, MCP, type safety, persistence, and resumable streams. Do not call it a stable v1 release. Do not present planned orchestration features as already shipped. Make the video, inspect the rendered result, and fix any clipped text, weak transitions, mistimed beats, or unreadable frames before delivering it. The goal is a memorable showreel, not a slideshow of feature bullets.

A pelican riding a bicycle, made properly
SugarV · Claude Opus 5.5 · 401 likes
Tired of SVG pelicans, the maker asked for the most detailed one possible. Opus 5.5 wrote it all in Claude Code: a Blender scene rendered in Cycles, a Rust cloud renderer for a 12K sky, about 24,000 feathers, a bike with 36 spokes and 92 chain links, plus the music. No ready-made models, textures or music.

Every time a new model comes out, everyone has it draw "a pelican riding a bicycle" to judge its spatial ability, and it's almost always animated with HTML and SVG.

There's no rush; you can spend a whole day drawing it.

A 90-second anime short: a steam locomotive becomes a robot
0kncn (@0kncn) · 409 likes · 69.5K views
Hand-drawn-looking 2D anime from one prompt: Fable built every shot in Blender from Python, rendered it and inked each frame in a second pass, then wrote the score note by note with numpy.
Show the prompt (as the maker shared it)
Create a 2D anime short. It must look completely like real Japanese anime, as if it were taken directly from a finished theatrical anime film. This is traditional-looking, hand-drawn 2D anime, not a 3D animation, a moving illustration, or a stylized web graphic. Build everything in Blender from Python, render it in Eevee, then ink and paint every frame in a second pass. Deliver one 1920x1080, 24 fps MP4 with a synthesized soundtrack. Use any tools, libraries, references, guides, literally anything, as long as the final result looks 100% like hand-drawn 2D anime. Use theatrical anime as the art style reference for the design, line work, painted backgrounds, color and atmosphere. The film is 90 seconds long (2160 frames), in 42 shots. Its hero is a steam locomotive that transforms into a robot. No people appear in the film. HERO No. 9, a 1940s 2-8-2 freight locomotive with a four-axle tender, 23 m long, asleep for decades in a mountain engine shed: matte black boiler with rust runs, faded red wheel centres and buffer beam, brass number plate "9", one large headlamp, two amber marker lamps, moss on the running boards, ivy through the cab windows, and a stork's nest on the cab roof. As a robot it stands 21 m tall with its shoulders at 17 m. It is an original design, not a character from any existing series. It moves on twos, slow and heavy. Its wheels never slip and its feet never slide. TRANSFORM One transformation, at full speed, 120 frames, in five stages of 24 frames. Every part is rigid: nothing stretches, nothing vanishes, nothing appears. Each part travels on a hinge or a slide you can see. 1. Legs: the tender uncouples, splits lengthwise and swings down; its two bogies lock as feet, the coal stays in bunkers on the calves. 2. Hips: the cab drops and widens into the pelvis; the trailing truck folds onto the lower back. 3. Torso: the boiler tilts upright, firebox at the waist, smokebox at the top; the chimney and steam dome end on the upper back and keep venting. 4. Arms: the running boards swing out with the cylinders as shoulders, the piston and connecting rods as forearms, and hands with three fingers and a thumb unfolding from the valve gear; the front driving wheels ride up as shoulder discs, the rear ones fold to hips and knees. 5. Head: the smokebox door hinges forward as the chest plate with the headlamp at its centre; a riveted helmet rises from the smokebox with one dark visor slit and the two marker lamps as amber eyes; the cowcatcher folds up as a collar. The cab roof panel rides up to the right shoulder and carries the stork's nest, never tilted more than 10 degrees. Stages 1-3 happen on the rails, with the first strides landing on the ballast either side of the track. Stages 4-5 happen in the air. WORLD A single-track mountain railway at real scale. At the top, an ore mine with a loading bunker and a rake of twelve four-wheel hopper wagons. The line descends through larch forest and a short rock tunnel to a viaduct: seven 18 m steel girder spans on stone piers, 126 m long, the deck 17 m above a turquoise meltwater river 3 m deep. Beyond it, a small station: a stone engine shed, a water tower, a semaphore signal with an alarm bell, a signal box, a siding ending in a sand drag. Snow peaks behind, a cliff face above the viaduct, telegraph poles along the whole line. STORY A clear spring morning in the valley. Meltwater loosens the cliff: a rockfall hits the middle pier of the viaduct, the pier collapses into the river and the two girders it carried sag into a V, held only by the rails. Up at the mine the shock snaps a coupling and the twelve loaded wagons start to roll downhill, unmanned. At the station the semaphore drops to danger and the bell rings. In the dark shed the firebox glows, the pressure needle climbs, the headlamp lights; the stork flies up. No. 9 bursts through the shed doors tearing ivy and rust, and charges up the grade with the wagons coming down the other side. On the approach it transforms at full speed, leaps from the abutment, lands crouched in the river, wades to the fallen pier, and lifts the sagging joint onto its shoulders and raised hands. The wagons hit the viaduct: it sinks 0.3 m as each one passes over and holds. The rake runs through the station into the sand drag and stops. No. 9 does not come back out. It locks its knees and stays as the new pier. The steam thins, the stork returns to its nest, the visor dims. LIGHT High-key anime light, never murky: a morning sun from the south-east, a saturated cobalt sky, white cumulus with lavender shadows, snow peaks with blue shadows, fresh green larch, a turquoise river with drawn white water. Light only changes with a cause you can see: rock dust dims the gorge for 3 seconds, steam whites out a frame, the firebox throws orange onto the shed walls. Cel light with hard shadows, gouache backgrounds, ink lines on every machine, rail and building, effects drawn on twos: steam as inked rolling shapes with a flat shadow tone, water as inked sheets with foam crowns, dust as drawn clouds, never particle mush. SOUND A synthesized orchestra on a 144 bpm grid: one beat is 10 frames, and every cut lands on a multiple of 5 frames. A hopeful theme on clarinet and horn, the collapse in E minor, a 12/8 chase with the exhaust chuff as percussion at four beats per wheel revolution, a heavy 3/4 for the hold with one low drum per wagon. 16 hits land exactly on the picture: the rockfall, the pier, the coupling, the signal arm, the shed doors, each transformation lock, the landing, the lift, the first and last wagon. The steam whistle is heard twice: once on waking, once on the hold. FORMAT Write the film as a Python story clock: one state per frame for every pose, camera, wheel angle, rod position, transformation part, wagon, effect and sound cue. CHECKS Before the final render a script tests every frame on the real meshes: no part of No. 9 goes through another part, in either form or at any frame of the transformation; the total volume of its parts is the same in both forms; every wheel on a rail turns exactly as far as it travels; planted feet do not move; No. 9 never goes through the track, the shed, the viaduct or the riverbed; the wagons stay on the rails and never touch each other except at the couplings; the camera never enters a mesh, the cliff or the water; nothing jumps between frames.

More videos and the full lists
Each video's stills and full prompt are on GitHub: awesome-claude-motion-video for motion graphics and awesome-claude-fable-videos for Fable 5.2. By model: Opus 5.5 motion graphics and Claude Fable 5.2 videos. Games made the same way are in Claude Fable 5.2 games.
Claude motion graphics FAQ
Can Claude generate video?
Not the way a video model does. Claude writes code that draws each frame, in HTML and JavaScript, Remotion, Three.js or Blender, and renders it to an MP4 or runs it live in a browser. That's why text, numbers and logos come out crisp.
Is there a Claude motion graphics skill?
You don't need one. Several makers said they used plain Claude Code with no skills or plugins: Claude chose its own tools, usually a headless browser plus ffmpeg, sometimes Remotion or Blender.
What plan do I need to make videos with Claude?
Claude Code, which comes with Claude Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise (not Free), or API access. Fable 5.2 also needs Pro or higher; on Pro and standard Team seats it can use up to 50% of your weekly limits.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
From about a minute and $2 (Deedy Das's launch film) to an hour and a half of rendering. On Fable 5.2, makers reported about 20 minutes and $7 for a small scene and about $46 on Fable 5.2 Max for Istanbul.
Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.2 for video?
Makers use both. In what people posted, Opus 5.5 was used most for product launch films and motion graphics, and Fable 5.2 for 3D worlds and short films.
Can I use these prompts?
The prompts are the makers' own, quoted from their posts. Try them on your own product; the videos belong to their makers.
