Claude Code can make launch films, product walkthroughs, animated charts and kinetic type. It writes a small web page, has a browser photograph every frame, and joins the frames into a video. You'll learn the setup, the brief, the story, the motion, the sound and the review loop behind a real 46-second launch film made this way. Then you'll reuse that setup for every video after it.

What you’ll learn

  1. 1.Why Claude writes a program, not a video

    See why Claude makes video by writing a program, what that makes possible, and where it isn't the right tool.

    3 lessons

    1. See how Claude Code makes a video without drawing a single frame
    2. Make every frame computed, never recorded
    3. Know where code-made video wins, and what it needs
  2. 2.The setup

    Get Claude Code, a browser and ffmpeg working together, pick the right effort level, and write your studio rules once.

    3 lessons

    1. Set up Claude Code, even if you've never opened a terminal
    2. Choose the model and effort level for each job
    3. Write your studio rules once, in CLAUDE.md
  3. 3.The brief

    Write a brief that leaves no blanks, give Claude real assets, and set the lines it may say on screen.

    3 lessons

    1. Why "make it pop" gets you the most average video
    2. Write a brief Claude can't misread
    3. Give Claude real ingredients and a list of what it may say
  4. 4.Style and story

    Plan what the viewer knows second by second, set the look, and let independent judges choose the best draft.

    2 lessons

    1. Storyboard what the viewer knows, second by second
    2. Set the look, then let three judges pick the draft
  5. 5.Motion and sound

    Give motion weight with springs, a rule for each kind of object, and sound that lands on the picture's own clock.

    3 lessons

    1. Make motion feel physical with springs
    2. Give each kind of object its own motion rule
    3. Put picture and sound on one clock
  6. 6.The critic loop and reuse (our film as the case study)

    Make Claude review its own frames, pass the final checks, and package the whole studio so the next film starts from a brief.

    3 lessons

    1. Make Claude judge its own rendered frames
    2. Run a review round and the final checks we ran
    3. Pack your studio into a skill and make every format

How this course works

This is an interactive course, not a video playlist. Lessons mix short explanations with hands-on activities — quizzes, drag-and-drop exercises, branching scenarios and step-ordering challenges — and you have to complete each activity before moving on, so you practise rather than skim. Your progress is saved as you go, so you can stop after any lesson and pick up where you left off.
