Describe a Motion Graphic in Plain Language With Remotion

Turn text commands into animated video with Claude Code

Motion Design by Description

You don't need to know animation software. Describe the motion you want, and let Claude Code write the code that renders it.

Who This Is For

  • Creators who want animated captions or explainer graphics without learning a timeline editor.

  • Marketers who need motion graphics but can't wait on a designer.

  • Anyone comfortable pasting code and reading the result.

What You'll Build

  • A short animated title card described entirely in plain text.

  • A follow-up change to colors or timing made by describing it again.

  • A reusable prompt for the next motion graphic.

What You'll Need

  • A Claude Code install.

  • A Remotion project set up on your machine, following the Remotion docs.

  • A simple graphic idea, such as a headline with a fade-in.
