Source post: How to Make Animated Explainers with Claude Motion
AI ContentDesign

Turn a chart or idea into an animated explainer

Anthropic launched Claude Motion in beta on Oct 8 2026. You give Claude a report, chart or idea and it builds a short animation. You can point at any part to edit it, then export an MP4. This is an official product launch, not an independent user result.

Workflow

1. Open Claude and find Claude Motion. It launched in beta on Oct 8 2026. 2. Paste or upload your input: a report, a chart, a CSV, or a one-line idea. 3. Ask for a short animated explainer and say the length and aspect ratio you want. 4. Watch the draft. Point at the part you want changed and describe the edit. 5. Change words, numbers or timing. It writes the animation as code, so edits are exact. 6. Export the result as an MP4.
