Claude Motion is Anthropic's motion graphics feature, in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise plans since 8 October 2026. Opus 5.5 Video is an independent alternative, not affiliated with Anthropic: Claude Opus 5.5 writes your animation as code and this site renders a 1080p MP4, right in your browser, with no Claude subscription and nothing to install.
Logos, product shots, screenshots or photos for Opus to use: up to 15 images, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each. You can also paste or drop them here. Opus looks at every image, which is billed by the tokens it actually uses.
Pay as you go: credits are charged only as the video is made, and a failed video is refunded.

Opus 5.5's thinking, code and preview checks stream here while your video is made.
Claude Motion is a feature inside Claude that Anthropic announced in beta on 8 October 2026, together with Claude Dashboards. It turns a prompt, a report, data or images into a short animation built from code (animated text, charts, shapes and images), not from a video generation model, and exports it as an MP4. It is available on Claude Team and Enterprise plans, not on Free, Pro or Max, and using it counts toward the plan's usage limits.
This page is not Claude Motion. Opus 5.5 Video is a separate, independent service that uses Claude Opus 5.5 through Anthropic's API. It does the same kind of work, code-drawn motion graphics, for anyone with an account here and credits, whatever Claude plan they have.
Anthropic has not published Claude Motion's maximum length, resolution, aspect ratios or audio options. The specifications on this page describe Opus 5.5 Video only.

No install, terminal or API key. One prompt makes one video.
Write what the animation should show: the audience, the exact words and numbers on screen, and the order of scenes. Attach up to 15 images (a logo, product shots, chart screenshots) or link a public web page for context.
Pick 15, 30 or 60 seconds; 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1; and music, silence, your own audio or voiceover where it is offered. The generator shows the credit prepayment before you start.
Claude Opus 5.5 runs as Claude Code in a cloud sandbox: it plans a storyboard, writes the animation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript (Canvas, SVG or GSAP) and checks preview frames. You can follow the work log live.
The site renders every frame in headless Chrome and encodes a 1080p, 30 fps MP4 with FFmpeg. To change the video, edit the prompt and generate again.
Three of the homepage examples, in the styles Claude Motion is built for: explainers, charts and product videos. Claude Opus 5.5 wrote each one as code under the same instructions the generator uses, and the generator's renderer made the MP4. Product names and figures are fictional.

An explainer titled "How an Opus 5.5 video is made". Four steps light up one after another along a line: Prompt, Code, Frames, MP4. Give each step a small scene (a prompt being typed, code being written, frames filling a grid, a player with sound) and a one-sentence caption. Cream background, orange highlight, serif headings. End on "Prompt in. MP4 out." and opusvideogen.com.

An animated bar chart titled "Weekly active users", January to June: 8.2k, 11.5k, 15.1k, 21.4k, 32.0k, 48.2k. Dark background. Bars grow one per beat and the last bar is orange, while a headline number counts up to 48,200. Then show "+488% in six months", trace a trend line across the bar tops and end on "Up about 43% every month".
15s · 16:9
A launch video for Acme Notes, a note-taking app that tags and organizes notes automatically. Dark background with warm orange accents. Open on the product name and the line "Notes that organize themselves". Then show the app window: three notes type themselves in and each gets a tag. Search for "launch", show "Auto-tagged. Instantly searchable." and end on a button that says "Try Acme Notes free".

| Opus 5.5 Video | |
|---|---|
| Output | MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) |
| Resolution and frame rate | 1920×1080 (16:9), 1080×1920 (9:16) or 1080×1080 (1:1), 30 fps |
| Length | 15, 30 or 60 seconds |
| Sound | Synthesized music, silence, your own uploaded track, or AI voiceover when it is switched on |
| Input | A prompt of 10–4,000 characters, up to 15 images and public web links |
| How it is drawn | In code: HTML, CSS and JavaScript written by Claude Opus 5.5 |
| Not supported | Photorealistic footage, real people, video upload, timeline editing, exporting the code |
| What you need | A browser, an account here and credits; no Claude subscription |
Pay as you go with credits. No Claude subscription or Team seat is involved.
A typical 15-second Opus 5.5 video uses about 40 credits: roughly $2.00 at the Starter plan's credit rate, or $3.04 at the Starter credit pack's rate. You pay for what Opus 5.5 actually uses. Initial prepayment is 50 credits for 15 seconds, 100 for 30 seconds and 200 for 60 seconds; voiceover can require a larger reserve. These are prepayments, not minimum prices. For a 15-second video, more is charged only as the work goes on, within an initial budget of 200 credits. At that limit the video pauses: choose to raise the budget or export the current version. Credits charged ahead and not used come back, and a failed video is refunded in full. Plans start at $9 a month for 180 credits. Credit packs start at $5 for 50 credits, with no subscription. A Trial pack does not guarantee a completed video; actual usage may require more credits.
The four example videos on the homepage play for free, with no account. Signup gift credits, admin-granted credits, purchased credits and subscription credits can fund your own videos. Starting a 15-second video requires at least 50 eligible credits; longer videos require a larger prepayment, as shown in the generator. Check-in and other reward credits cannot be used for videos. Eligible new accounts may receive 3 sign-up gift credits, subject to signup checks. These sign-up credits expire after 63 days. Videos made before your first purchase carry a small moving watermark. If a video fails, its credits are refunded.
| Option | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Trial credit pack | $5 · one-time, never expires | 50 |
| Starter credit pack | $19 · one-time, never expires | 250 |
| Pro credit pack | $49 · one-time, never expires | 700 |
| Enterprise credit pack | $99 · one-time, never expires | 1,500 |

| Pro monthly plan | $29 per month | 600 |
| Enterprise monthly plan | $99 per month | 2,100 |

Claude Motion is a beta feature inside Claude that Anthropic announced on 8 October 2026. It makes short, code-built animations from a prompt, documents, data or images and exports them as MP4. You use it at claude.ai on a Team or Enterprise plan: choose Output, then Motion, in a chat, or pick a Motion template in Artifacts. Without that plan, Opus 5.5 Video is an independent alternative that makes similar motion graphics in the browser.
No. Opus 5.5 Video is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Anthropic. It calls Claude Opus 5.5 through Anthropic's API. Claude and Opus are trademarks of Anthropic; Claude Motion is named here only to describe and compare Anthropic's product.
Not Anthropic's version: it is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, and Free, Pro and Max accounts don't have it. You can make Claude-written motion graphics without a Team plan on Opus 5.5 Video; it needs only an account here and credits.
Yes. Type a prompt in the generator at the top of this page. Claude Opus 5.5 writes the animation code in a cloud sandbox and the site renders the MP4, so there is nothing to install and no code to write.
Yes, through code. Claude models output text, so a renderer has to turn the code Claude writes into video frames. Here that happens for you: your prompt becomes an HTML animation and then a 1080p MP4.
Yes. Put a public HTTPS link in the prompt and attach product images or screenshots. Claude reads the page for names, wording and public images and builds a stylized animation around them. It is not a screen recording of the site.
Anthropic's Claude Motion comes with paid Team and Enterprise plans. On Opus 5.5 Video: The four example videos on the homepage play for free, with no account. Signup gift credits, admin-granted credits, purchased credits and subscription credits can fund your own videos. Starting a 15-second video requires at least 50 eligible credits; longer videos require a larger prepayment, as shown in the generator. Check-in and other reward credits cannot be used for videos. Eligible new accounts may receive 3 sign-up gift credits, subject to signup checks. These sign-up credits expire after 63 days. Videos made before your first purchase carry a small moving watermark.

Yes, after your first purchase. Videos made before an account's first purchase carry a small moving watermark; videos made after it do not. Either way you download a standard MP4.
On Opus 5.5 Video, yes: 1920×1080, 1080×1920 or 1080×1080 at 30 fps. Anthropic has not published the resolution or aspect ratios of Claude Motion's MP4 export.
15, 30 or 60 seconds. Choose synthesized music, silence, your own MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG track, or AI voiceover where it is switched on. For multi-minute videos, use Claude Code with Remotion instead.
Claude Motion runs inside Claude, and you change a video by chat or in its editor. Claude Code with Remotion is a developer setup: Claude edits a React video project on your machine and Remotion renders it, so you own the code but maintain the tools. Opus 5.5 Video sits between them: hosted like Claude Motion, but with no Team plan required.
Use Claude Motion if your team has it, Opus 5.5 Video for a quick MP4 without a Team plan, Remotion for code you own and long or automated videos, and After Effects when a motion designer needs frame-level control.
Name the audience and where the video will play, write the exact on-screen words and numbers, give each scene a time range, and set a palette and pace. The prompts on this page follow that pattern.
No. Like Claude Motion, it draws with code: text, charts, shapes, interfaces and the images you attach. For realistic footage, use a video model such as Veo, Kling or Runway.
