How to Make Viral Motion Graphics With AI With 0$ (Turned it into a Skill)
I made 3 motion graphics videos with Claude: one from a simple prompt, one with its own original song, and one short story film with 375 sound effects. The music and sound effects were made on my MacBook Air, with no After Effects, no Suno and no stock sites, and it cost me $0 on top of my Claude subscription. Here's exactly what changed between the 3 videos, so you can make your own 👇 🎁 Get the free skill (everything in this video, ready to install on your own Claude): https://www.skool.com/nextphase-5790 🎬 The 3 videos 1️⃣ Simple: one viral sentence plus a few lines about the look. 16 seconds, 60 frames a second, 7 techniques. Impressive for one message, but hundreds of people use the same sentence, so they all look alike, and there's no sound. 2️⃣ Better: Claude as songwriter, animator and sound designer. It wrote an original song, made 12 versions of it on my laptop with ACE-Step 1.5, checked every one and synced each lyric to the exact word. The sound effects were made with code. Not a single one was downloaded. 3️⃣ Best: "One Conversation", a short story film. Instead of a task, I gave Claude a crew (director, writer, animator, composer, sound designer, render engineer) and a story. It grades every shot from 1 to 10 and keeps fixing until every shot is an 8 or more. 🧠 How Claude makes a video Claude can't output an MP4. It writes code, basically a web page that knows what the screen looks like at every moment. A browser takes a screenshot of every frame, and FFmpeg glues them together. A 16-second video at 60 fps is 960 screenshots. Because it's code, you can change anything and render it again. 🤔 Is it really "one prompt"? Not really. The viral "one-shot" videos come from prompts of almost 10,000 characters, plus skills, examples and setup. The prompt is 10% of the video. The setup around it is the other 90%. 🔗 Tools I used (all free) HyperFrames (the video framework): https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes ACE-Step 1.5 (music, runs on your computer): https://github.com/ACE-Step/ACE-Step-1.5 FFmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org Heads up: the music model takes about 11 GB of disk space, so check you have room before you install it. 🙅 Not sponsored. Nobody paid me for this video and I don't make a single dollar from the skill. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Everything here was made by Claude 0:47 $0, and why you should stay 1:36 My X feed: motion graphics everywhere 2:12 A $1,000 video in 30 minutes 2:39 Claude worked 12 hours: 4M views 5:12 Is it really one prompt? 6:16 How Claude makes a video 7:13 Video 1: one simple prompt 7:44 Why video 1 isn't enough 8:10 Video 2: music and sound, for $0 10:02 The tricks behind video 2 10:56 Video 3: a story, like a director 12:38 The critique loop 14:10 The free skill 14:55 Are motion designers cooked? 💬 Tell me in the comments: which of the 3 videos was your favorite? 🔔 Subscribe for more Claude skills like this one.
