CLAUDE MOTION

Claude Motion without a team plan

Claude Motion launched as a Team and Enterprise beta, so most individual users can't open it yet. But Motion doesn't use a video model: it's Claude writing animation code. Anyone who can talk to Claude can get most of the way there, and most of the 1,200+ videos in this index were made exactly that way. Here's the workflow, and what you give up.

What Motion adds, and what it doesn't

Under the hood, Motion is Claude building an animation as code. What the product adds on top is convenience:

Claude Motion (Team / Enterprise)Doing it yourself (any paid plan)
Who writes the animationClaudeClaude
Starting pointMotion templateYour prompt
Change one numberAsk Claude or use the editorAsk Claude to edit the code
Get an MP4Export buttonRecord it or capture frames
Hand off to RunwayBuilt inUpload the MP4 yourself

So what you lose is mostly the last step. The animation itself comes from the same place.

The do-it-yourself workflow

  1. 1
    Ask for one HTML file

    Ask Claude for a single self-contained HTML animation at a fixed stage size (1920×1080 for slides and screens, 1080×1920 for vertical), with the duration stated.

  2. 2
    Give it your content

    Paste the numbers or attach the report. Say who will watch it and where it will play, the same advice Anthropic gives for Motion.

  3. 3
    Iterate in plain language

    "Slow the second scene down", "make the bar chart start from zero". Ask Claude to change only that part so the rest stays put.

  4. 4
    Record it

    Open the file full screen and screen-record, or capture it frame by frame for an exact MP4.

For the recording step, see three ways to turn an HTML animation into an MP4.

A prompt to start from

Write one self-contained HTML file that plays a 30-second animation
on a 1920×1080 stage, starting automatically.
It's for our sales kickoff: compare our three pricing plans.
Scene 1 (0–8s): title "Which plan fits?" builds in.
Scene 2 (8–22s): three cards slide in; price and two key features each.
Scene 3 (22–30s): highlight the middle plan, end on our logo text.
Colours: #111827 background, #22C55E accent. Clean sans-serif type.
Also expose window.seek(t) so the animation can be rendered frame by frame.

The last line costs nothing and makes an exact MP4 export easy later.

When the team plan is worth it

If you make these every week, share them with colleagues, or want non-technical teammates to make them without recording anything, Motion's export button and editor save real time. Team has a minimum number of seats; check claude.com/pricing for current prices. For an occasional explainer or a single animated chart, doing it yourself is fine.

Examples from the index

Faq

Will Claude Motion come to Pro or Max?
Anthropic hasn't said. At launch it is a beta for Team and Enterprise only. We'll update this page if that changes.
Is the do-it-yourself result worse than Claude Motion?
Not necessarily. Motion doesn't use a video model; in both cases Claude writes the animation as code. What Motion adds is the template, the editor and one-click MP4 export.
Do I need Claude Code for this?
No. The Claude app is enough to get the HTML file. Claude Code helps if you want it to run a frame-capture script for you.
