Claude Motion FAQ

Claude Motion is Anthropic's beta feature that generates short code-built animations inside Claude. It creates explainers, animated charts and product walkthroughs using HTML, CSS and JavaScript — not an AI video model. As of 2026-10-11, it is available on Team and Enterprise plans.

No. Claude Motion creates code-built animations (HTML/CSS/JS rendered to video), not AI-generated footage with real people or photorealistic scenes. It cannot produce talking-head videos, stock footage or camera-shot content.

Product explainers, animated charts, process walkthroughs, data highlights and short motion graphics. All outputs are code-generated compositions with text, shapes and simple graphics — not filmed or AI-generated video.

In the official feature: open the Motion artifact, click the download button and save the MP4. With the claudemotion.tv toolkit: your agent renders the MP4 locally in your project folder using FFmpeg.

Official Claude Motion creates short animations — typically 5 to 30 seconds. Exact limits depend on complexity and your plan's usage. The claudemotion.tv toolkit targets 15-second compositions at 30 fps.

The claudemotion.tv toolkit renders at 1280 × 720 (720p), 16:9 landscape, 30 fps. The official feature's resolution depends on the Artifacts rendering engine.

As of 2026-10-11, official Claude Motion does not add a watermark to exported videos. The claudemotion.tv toolkit also produces watermark-free output. Verify current behavior with the official help article.

Official Claude Motion: voiceover is not documented as a built-in feature. The claudemotion.tv toolkit supports connected cloud narration (Google TTS) through the coordinator Skill, plus local music and sound effects.

Official Claude Motion generates silent animations. The claudemotion.tv toolkit includes original local music synthesis, sound effects and optional cloud narration. Hosted music libraries are not included.

The Skill sends your approved script to Google Cloud TTS, generates a WAV file and mixes it with the video locally. Free plan: 3 lifetime trials. Pro: 80 and Studio: 240 per paid period. Each request is limited to 240 characters / 30 seconds.

Official Claude Motion has no separate price — it's included in Team and Enterprise plans during the beta. It's not available on Free, Pro or Max as of 2026-10-11. The claudemotion.tv toolkit offers a separate Free tier with 3 Skills and the Editorial style.

Not as of 2026-10-11. Official Claude Motion is listed for Team and Enterprise only. For Pro and Max users, the claudemotion.tv toolkit is an independent alternative that works with any Claude Code or Codex access.

Check your plan (Team or Enterprise only), ask your workspace owner to enable it in Organization settings › Artifacts, check your group permissions (Enterprise can restrict by group), and look in Output › Motion or the Artifacts tab.

1. Confirm you're on Team or Enterprise. 2. Check that an owner has enabled Claude Motion in Artifacts settings. 3. Try refreshing the page or starting a new conversation. 4. Check your plan's usage limits — complex animations use more quota. 5. If using the claudemotion.tv toolkit, ensure Node.js 22+, FFmpeg and ffprobe are installed.

Claude Motion is in beta and may produce layout issues. Try simplifying your prompt, reducing the number of elements, or splitting complex animations into shorter scenes. With the claudemotion.tv toolkit, use the layout checker before rendering.

Official feature: retry in a new message or simplify the request. claudemotion.tv toolkit: keep your local project, ask your agent to inspect the error and render again. Local retries use no platform credits. Use the saved receipt to recover instead of confirming another activation.

Official Claude Motion: check Anthropic's current terms of service for output usage rights. claudemotion.tv toolkit: you keep the editable source and MP4. Original templates may be used in commercial outputs under the included license; you must have rights to your own content.

As of 2026-10-11, Anthropic has not published a public Claude Motion API. The feature is available through the Claude web interface for Team and Enterprise plans. The claudemotion.tv toolkit uses a local Skill-based workflow, not a REST API.

Not through an official API at this time. If you need programmatic video generation, consider Remotion (React-based) or HyperFrames (HTML/GSAP) as open-source frameworks you can embed in your application.

No. claudemotion.tv is an independent product with original templates and Skills. It does not unlock or replace the official feature. Both products can be used separately.

Your own Claude Code or Codex access, a computer with Node.js 22+, FFmpeg and ffprobe, and a local project folder. macOS and Linux are supported; Windows users should use WSL.
