# Make motion graphics videos in Claude

> Connect Motionvid to Claude as a custom connector and make explainers, ads and animated charts from a chat, with voiceover, music and an MP4 at the end.

Add Motionvid as a custom connector in Claude and ask for a video like you would ask a designer. Claude briefs it, follows the build, shows you the scenes and hands you the MP4.

## Set it up

`Connector URL`

```
https://motionvid.ai/mcp
```

1. Open Claude, then Customize → Connectors. The desktop app has the same page.
2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it MotionVid and paste https://motionvid.ai/mcp.
4. Click Connect and sign in with your MotionVid account.

## Example prompts

- "Make a 45 second explainer of this PDF for new customers, friendly voiceover."
- "Make a 30 second explainer on how compound interest works, with voiceover and music."
- "Turn https://yourapp.com into a 20 second vertical launch ad that ends on our logo."
- "Make a 15 second animated bar chart of these numbers: 2023 1.2M, 2024 2.9M, 2025 6.4M."

## Tips

- Attach your logo or screenshots in the chat: Claude passes them along as references.
- Ask Claude to show you the preview before rendering, then ask for changes in plain words.
- Say the length and the aspect ratio (16:9 or 9:16) in the first message.

## Questions and troubleshooting

### Can Claude make videos?

Not on its own beyond simple animations. With the Motionvid connector Claude can make finished motion graphics videos with voiceover, music and sound, up to 20 minutes long, and hand you an MP4.

### How is this different from Claude Motion?

Claude Motion animates text, charts and images inside Claude and is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans; it does not create realistic footage or people. Motionvid works on any Claude plan with custom connectors, builds films up to 20 minutes with voiceover, music and your brand kit, can add AI footage when you ask, and every video stays editable in the Motionvid app.

### It says I need to sign in, or the tools are missing

The server is added but not signed in. Run the sign-in step again and log in with your Motionvid account. The connector needs a paid plan; on a free account the tools answer with an upgrade message.

### The video is taking a while

That's normal. A build writes the script, animates each scene and records the voiceover, usually a few minutes. Ask the agent to check the status again rather than starting a new video.
