Summary

The video introduces Claude Motion, a tool that turns prompts, data, and images into editable animated videos by generating code rather than using a video model. The host also covers Claude’s dashboard feature and says Docs, Slides, and Design are out of beta, then notes that Motion is currently available on team plans. He demonstrates three business examples—a real estate market update, a bookkeeping report, and an insurance renewal message—and shows how to revise the results. The video closes with suggestions for customizing the design and a link to free design prompts and the host’s automated editing setup.

Full transcript (original language)

00:00 My friends, Claude just became a video studio. Just a couple of hours ago, Anthropic launched Claude Motion. You describe an idea and Claude animates it into a short video. You can edit it and you can download it. So, in this video, I’m going to tell you everything that you need to know about this new launch and more importantly, how to use it like the top 1% and get paid. Let’s go. So, first off, here’s how Claude Motion actually works. You can give it words, a chart, some shapes, or even some images and it turns it into a short video. And

00:30 here’s Anthropic’s own demo. A bike share company notices the docks on the hill are empty by 8:15 every morning. Claude turns the ride data into a dashboard and then into this, a 3D city with the bikes moving through it. And here’s what I love about it. There’s actually no video model behind it. Claude simply writes code that creates everything in this scene. So, there’s no fake footage and no AI people. That’s why you can pretty much change everything about it. And you can ask Claude to change it or you can do it directly in the editor. Then, you can download it as an MP4 and simply post it

01:01 anywhere you like. And they even allow you to push them automatically into other software like Adobe, Descript, Runway, HeyGen, and a few more. They even announced a canvas coming soon. And for those of you who watched the video 4 days ago of my full setup to automate editing, well, the big difference between that and this is that this is done without any setup. But, the cool thing is that even the video tools themselves now are showing off this feature. Within hours, Runway itself posted how motions can now be opened up in their software. So, what does that mean for you? Well, basically, something that used to cost thousands of dollars

01:33 to create is now created for free because you don’t have to hire a motions graphic company. But, motion was only one of two releases today. The other one was dashboards. You connect data, ask a question, and it pretty much builds out a full dashboard to represent the answer. Claude pretty much writes the query to go and query the database and then it builds a dashboard that also changes as the numbers change. And every number shows where it came from, so you can click on it and it can open up in a view where you can see the detail. So, yeah, pretty cool stuff. Now, the one caveat is they only do this with big databases right now, not your little

02:03 spreadsheet. And did I say two launches? I meant three. Claud, Docs, Slides, and Design. All of them out of beta. They’re on every single plan including the free one. You can build things and export them to PowerPoint, PDF, or even Google Slides. But, back to video, Motion is only currently active inside of team plans. So, if you have a personal plan, you’ll have to upgrade from there. But, the big question is how can you use this like the top 1% and actually make money? Well, I think that pretty much every professional has a way they can use it to either make more money or delight

02:34 their customers even more to make them recurring customers or save them from a 1-hour meeting that could literally just be an email. But, what does this look like in practice? Let’s build three different use cases live. I’ll make these incredibly simple so that you don’t feel like you can’t create them yourself. Okay, so we’re inside Claud now and you have to make sure of two things at first. First, that you’re in the normal Claud. So, if you are on this one, that’s Claud Code. Here is the normal Claud. And you also want to make sure that you are on a team account. The normal accounts or personal accounts

03:04 will not do this. But, once those two are taken care of, you can jump right inside the chat and ask for it to create a motion graphic video. So, here I have a first prompt. I’m going to go ahead and paste it. So, in this case I’m saying, “I’m a real estate agent. I’m looking for a 30-second market update video.” And here I want to show this person that we are 3% up from last year and also that the homes are selling at the moment in 24 days. So, I tell it the type of look that I’m going for and then I basically say, “Think of selling. Let’s talk.” Then

03:36 here, I’m going to go ahead and start this off. And we give it a little second for it to think here and it’s going to ask me a couple of questions. A few quick picks, then I’ll start. So, first off, it asks about the color palette. It already has one saved for We Are No Code. So, let’s go ahead with that. I could go for the video animation. In fact, let me do that instead. We’re going to go ahead and continue. And now, my friends, it literally just starts building out a first animation. And as you can see here, it breaks down the different scenes it wants to have in this 30-second clip. We see there are six scenes. It’s going to build each one

04:08 one by one with motion graphics based on the color palette we gave it, and then it’s going to play them. Tells you roughly how many minutes are left, two to four in this case. Okay, just 3 minutes in and all scenes are finished. Let’s go ahead and play this bad boy. Here’s how homes are selling this fall. It’s basically an animation that’s showing the prices of different homes near you. And it’s also showing you the median sales price. Up 3% from last year, very cool.

04:48 Thinking of selling? I love this. This is so cool. This is a one-shot, by the way. I didn’t give it anything else but the prompt that you saw right now. But this is really just the starting point. From here, you can pretty much adapt everything. So, if I go ahead and give it some feedback here, let’s say change the median price to $640,000 and make it nighttime in the video. Let’s see what it gives us. Okay, so that actually only took 45 seconds and it’s pretty much telling us what it’s changed. Let’s go ahead and play this and see what it’s doing. Nighttime, very cool. Oh, the lights

05:20 light up. Look at that. Super cool. This looks a lot more beautiful. Yeah. Very cool. Up 3% has the new amount as well. So, yeah, this is really a great improvement. And as you can see, you can pretty much train this to provide you with the output that you’re looking for. Let’s try something else. This time, I’ll be a bookkeeper. I’m going to start a new session here. The idea is to make an end-of-month report here that’s going to look good and is going to give all the info to my

05:51 customer. Okay, now in this case I actually gave it a look already inside the prompt. So, let’s go ahead and see what it’s giving us here. Very cool. This is a coffee shop, by the way. Money in. Money out. Cool. How much you made. How much is in the bank. And here a cool little suggestion on what you can do to make more money. And you might see where I’m going with this. If you have a bookkeeper, you always get that boring PDF at the end of

06:22 the month. Instead, you could just get this awesome video that you can share in 1 second that really provides everything that someone needs in one place. And this can be used regardless what your job is, regardless the industry. It could literally be a memo to your boss. But, let’s do one more. Imagine you’re a commercial insurance broker. So, I say who I am. Now, the renewal went up in price. We also had uh some costs that increased. And here I’m providing three options to solve this issue. Raise the deductible, bundle their policies, or shop around for another

06:53 insurer. And boom, look at this. Let’s check it out. Best way to deliver bad news to someone. Annual premium is up. Okay, there’s some little things coming out of that card. Very cool. I like that. Look at that little animation. One shot. Love it. And of course, you can adapt

07:24 this fully to the design system that you want, perfect it over time, have it learn rules that you want it to use every time you create one of these. So, this is really cool. Bad news, but you come with already suggestions on how to fix it. Honestly, the number of business use cases for this are really cool. Now, of Of with the three examples I showed you, those were all just one shot, and I didn’t actually take the time to fine-tune the design system I wanted it to go by. But, know that you can have these look perfectly on brand with your logo, color palette, specific assets if you want to add them as well,

07:54 including pictures. Now, because design is such an important part of getting good results, I’ve created a pack of top design prompts so that the look of the video you’re trying to create is amazing. And yes, it doesn’t look like the examples that I showed you in this video. And you can download those for free in my community by clicking the link in the description. But, of course, this is a very first version of Motion, and if you want something a little bit more sophisticated, well, I’ve actually automated my entire video editing setup. You can check it out right here, cuz I break down everything and even give you the skill to do this yourself. So, I

08:26 hope you enjoyed the video. I’ll see you in the next one. Let’s go.
