Claude Motion turns your own content into editable animations you export as MP4. Here is who can use it and how.
Example made with LaunchMotion in Claude Code: the same kind of code-based animation Claude Motion makes. Not a screenshot of Claude or of Claude Motion.
Quick answers
A Claude feature that animates text, charts, shapes and images with code, so you can edit the result and export an MP4.
Claude Team and Enterprise plans, while it is in beta. Free, Pro and Max plans do not include it.
No. It animates content you provide. It does not generate filmed footage or realistic people.
There is no separate price. Each request counts toward your Claude plan's usage limits.
The basics
Claude Motion is part of Anthropic's October 2026 Dashboards and Motion release. Add your text, numbers or images and Claude writes the animation as code, so you can keep asking for changes.
Export the result as an MP4 for a deck, a post or your video editor. The same request can also become an interactive Claude dashboard.

Plans and access
The feature is a beta on Team and Enterprise plans. On Team it is on by default. On Enterprise, an Owner turns it on in the organisation's Artifacts settings. Claude Code is a separate product with its own plan rules, so the table lists both.

Real examples
Every scene is a Skill you can install in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
Make it in Claude Code
Not on Team or Enterprise? These two Skillry libraries run in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, write the animation as code and render it on your own computer. Pick by the video you make.
208 editable scenes for product launch videos: product UI, prompt boxes, agent flows, data reveals, kinetic type and calls to action. Describe what you ship and your agent storyboards, writes and renders the film.
122+ motion effects for YouTube, TikTok and Reels creators: text behind you, split-screen charts and explainer B-roll for your talking-head videos. Hand your agent a clip or a line from your script.
Prompts
Good Claude Motion prompts name the audience, the length and the one change the viewer should notice. Replace the bracketed parts with your own facts.

Claude Motion is one of several ways to turn content into animation with AI. The right route depends on your plan and on where you want the files to live.
| Claude Motion | Coding agent + motion Skill | Animated web page | Remotion by hand | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who can use it | Claude Team, Enterprise | Claude Pro, Max; Codex; Cursor | Any Claude plan | Developers |
| Where it runs | Inside Claude | Your computer | Inside Claude or a browser | Your computer |
| Output | MP4 | Editable project + MP4 | HTML page | React project + MP4 |
| How you edit | Ask in chat | Ask your agent or edit files | Ask in chat | Write code |
| What it costs | Plan usage | Agent plan + Skill price | Plan usage | Your time; license terms apply |
Only documented facts are compared. Skillry has not run the official feature, so we make no quality claims about it.
In depth
It works best when the content exists: a set of numbers, a list of steps, a before-and-after. It is quick to ask for an animated version and to iterate on timing in the same chat, without opening a timeline editor.
On Team and Enterprise plans everyone works in the same Claude workspace, so a shared prompt with your colours and type can keep motion graphics consistent from one person to the next.
The official feature animates content you give it, so a chart shows your real numbers and every label can be changed later. AI video generators such as Runway or Veo create new footage from a prompt: great for scenes and people, but they will not draw your chart accurately.
If you need filmed scenes, realistic people or voices, an AI video generator fits better. If you need hundreds of videos from a spreadsheet, a video API is built for that. If your plan has Claude Code but not Claude Motion, a motion Skill gives you a similar animation as an editable project.
FAQ
No. It is not on the Free plan. On Team and Enterprise plans there is no separate price, but every request counts toward the plan's usage limits.
Not as of October 16, 2026; it is a Team and Enterprise beta. Pro and Max do include Claude Code, so you can make code-based motion graphics there with a motion Skill. Our Claude Motion alternatives guide shows the options.
Anthropic has not announced a date. As of October 16, 2026 the help article lists it as a Team and Enterprise beta. Until that changes, Pro and Max users can use Claude Code with a motion Skill instead.
No. It animates text, charts, shapes and images that you provide, using code. It does not generate filmed footage, realistic people or voices.
Yes. The help article says you can edit an animation and export it as an MP4 file for slides, social posts or a video editor.
Ask for an animation in a chat, choose Output → Motion, or start from a Motion template in Artifacts. If you are on Enterprise and do not see it, ask your Owner to enable it in the Artifacts settings.
Remotion is a React framework for making videos with code, which developers set up and render themselves. Claude Motion is a feature inside Claude: you describe the animation and Claude writes it for you.
No, it lives in the Claude apps. In Claude Code you can get a similar result with a motion Skill that writes the animation project and renders an MP4 on your machine.
Yes, in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. CreatorMotion has 122+ motion effects made for talking-head videos, such as text behind you and split-screen charts, and 2 of them are free. For launch and product videos, LaunchMotion has 208 scenes.
No. Skillry is an independent marketplace for AI agent Skills. Claude and its Motion feature are products of Anthropic. This page explains the official feature and links to Anthropic's own documentation.
Use the official feature on Team or Enterprise, or make the same kind of motion graphic in Claude Code with LaunchMotion or CreatorMotion.
