Code-based animation
Claude builds the animation as editable code—not a black-box video clip—so every detail stays adjustable.

Claude Motion
Turn your reports, charts, and ideas into short animated explainers you can edit and export as MP4.
Product Introduction
Static slides often bury the story. Claude Motion helps you explain your own work in motion.
Claude Motion is a beta feature in Claude that builds short animations from your prompt. Ask it to turn a quarterly report into a 30-second all-hands explainer, animate a chart for a board deck, or create a product walkthrough for onboarding.
It is built for explaining your material—not generating stock video. Claude writes code that animates text, charts, shapes, and images, so you can change any word, number, or timing. There is no video generation model, no generated footage, and no AI-generated people.
Key Features
What makes Claude Motion different from a typical AI video tool.
Precise edits
Change a word, a number, or the timing in chat or in the editor. The rest of the animation stays intact.
MP4 export & handoff
Download as MP4 for decks and email. Anthropic also notes handoff options such as Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, Higgsfield, invideo, Luma AI, and Runway.
From chat or Artifacts
Ask in any chat, pick Output → Motion, or start from a Motion template in the Artifacts tab.
How It Works
Three steps from prompt to shareable explainer.
- 01
Describe what you need
Tell Claude the audience, length, and story. Attach the report, data, or images you want used.
- 02
Review the Motion artifact
Claude builds an animation that plays like a short video. Every Motion piece is saved in Artifacts.
- 03
Edit and export
Ask for changes or edit directly, then Export as MP4—or share the artifact when you are ready.
