§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
The video opens with a face-cam extreme close-up — the creator leaning into his monitor with a wide-eyed expression — followed immediately by finished motion graphic examples cycling on screen. No setup, no context: just the payoff face and the payoff footage, then the claim that days of manual work are gone.
Where the time goes.
00:00 – 00:44
01 · Cold open — retired workflow
Hook claim, motion graphic showcase, the promise: speed and quality go up simultaneously.
00:45 – 01:00
02 · What this covers
Chapter map overview; pay-attention-to-chapters meta-note.
01:00 – 01:54
03 · Step 1 — Claude's correct setup
Four prerequisites: Claude Desktop, Git Bash, Node.js, Claude Chrome extension.
01:54 – 03:00
04 · Step 2 — Install Remotion
Copy npx create-video@latest from Remotion site, paste into Claude; three common success responses.
03:00 – 06:53
05 · Step 3 — Enhance Claude
Create project folder with resources and skill subdirectories; add 4 resource docs (text style, scene composition, versioning behavior, creative unlock) and 3 fonts.
06:53 – 08:41
06 · Step 4 — Activate Claude boosts
Install anti-gravity protocol skill in new chat session; paste folder path; confirm installed and active response. Token efficiency improvement: 10 to 30-40 scenes per session.
08:41 – 10:49
07 · Step 5 — Open Remotion
Install Remotion in new session, choose template (Hello World or 3D), open in Chrome tab for live preview.
10:49 – 14:24
08 · Step 6 — Generate motion graphics
Add script to project folder; Claude drafts 20 scenes; build in 5-scene batches with rotating named creative directions.
14:24 – 15:05
09 · Step 7 — Export Remotion videos
Create the out folder with all scenes, make them 1080p. Folder appears with all MP4 files.
15:05 – 20:52
10 · Step 8 — Edit video for upload
DaVinci Resolve workflow: mark scene boundaries by transcript keyword, drag MP4s to playhead marks, add Push transitions, whoosh SFX, music bed. Full example video playback shown.
20:52 – 23:16
11 · Step 9 — Revise scene layouts
Revision prompt doc: reposition scene to left 35% for webcam space; versioning rule creates v2 and preserves original.
23:16 – 25:04
12 · Step 10 — Remove background
Background removal prompt forces Claude to use solid non-green colors; Resolve 3D Keyer removes green cleanly; despill set to Flat.
25:04 – 26:52
13 · Step 11 — Add images to graphics
Generate thumbnails in ChatGPT, drop into PNGs folder, prompt Claude to place one image per slide; apply same green-screen removal workflow.
26:52 – 27:28
14 · Step 12 — Recap + CTA
Final workflow summary slide; honest note about 4:30am work sessions; subscribe ask.

Rules vs. Freedom split
- Strict rules: versioning, naming, structure, font
- Full freedom: color palette, composition, motion ideas, metaphors
Resource docs are divided into two categories — what Claude must follow strictly and what it gets to invent — to balance consistency with visual creativity.

HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch analogy story
00:00HOOKI manually never have to create motion graphics like this ever again. Claude came into the picture. I installed this incredible tool into it and just watched days of my life come back to me as it edits my videos for me and creates these beautiful motion graphics using the motion.
00:15HOOKEditing videos with motion graphics used to take me ages. Manually creating things like this or like this or like this would be the longest, most time consuming part of my entire process. And now I could say I have retired from that part of my workflow, and it feels good.
00:31HOOKThe quality of videos goes up. The speed of when I get an idea to when I'm able to upload it on YouTube increases. More videos equals more value.
00:40HOOKMore value equals more growth. Incredible. And if you look around with what's going on, this topic is by high demand.
00:47HOOKSo I've completed the Claude plus promotion workflow in a way that could be easily replicated. And in this video, I just wanna give it to you all and set you running. And for real, pay attention to the video chapters because one aspect may intrigue you more than the others.
00:59HOOKAnyways, let's get into it. So first of all, we need to make sure that Claude is set up properly. Right?
01:05HOOKSo in this video, I just kinda wanna summarize what that means. You need to install four things. Alright?
01:11HOOKYou need to install Cloud's desktop app. You need to install Git Bash to make Cloud Code work. You need to install Node.
01:18HOOKJs to make the skill we are installing work. That skill will be Remotion. And finally, you need Claude's Chrome extension.
01:26Alright? If you're having trouble with any of these, for example, you install Git Bash, but Claude still says you need to install Git Bash. I have super specific videos addressing just those things.
01:36And believe me, these types of problems are more common than you might think. Like, look at the engagement on this video here. A lot of people share the same issues, so you are not alone.
01:45Don't worry. So, anyways, moving on. Assuming you have the four things working well, we can test it very simply by installing the skill, leads us to step two of this video,
01:57installing Remotion in Cloud Code. Okay?
02:01The installation of the skill is arguably the easiest part of this whole video. You simply just go to Remotion, this site right here, and copy this little section on the homepage by clicking it a bunch, then going back into Claude and saying, install this skill. Paste it, and then I like to say something like, let me know when it's done.
02:21Now, Cloud likes to respond different sometimes after it installs. It may say something like, I've successfully installed Remotion, blah blah blah. It It may say something like, select a folder in which we wanna operate out of or something similar.
02:36It may also say something like, pick a template for me to operate out of. Right?
02:41If you got any of these three responses or something similar that basically indicates that Remotion is successfully installed, great. You're in a really, really good spot.
02:52This means you did step one correctly, allowing you to install and use Remotion. Okay?
02:58But I actually wanna start a new chat for part three of this video because in part three, we need to enhance Claude. Okay?
03:07Now, what does this mean? Well, we wanna give it a set of instructions. Right?
03:11One, to work better. Meaning, it sticks to a set of rules for certain things and unlocks its creativity and freedom for other things.
03:19And two, to work longer. Meaning, if you know anything about Claude,
03:24you know there are usage limits. It spends a limited amount of tokens, unfortunately, very fast. Too fast.
03:32So we're going to teach it first how to be wiser in token utilization. And trust me, this is actually really, really important because you can go from generating 10 scenes before the limit is reached to about 30 to 40 scenes depending on the situation. And this can go from taking three to four sessions with big breaks in between to finish a video to finishing a video in just one session.
03:58So work better, work longer. Let's get into enhancing Claude. Alright?
04:03So for this, let's just create a project folder and call it whatever you want. I'll call it learn v one for this video. Then create two folders, one called resources
04:14and another one called skill. Now inside the resources folder, I wanna drop a few things. Text style,
04:22scene composition, scene revision and versioning behavior, and this creative unlock doc.
04:31Alright? We are also dropping our three fonts that we choose. And this little document is meant for just us.
04:37You'll understand why later. So let's move on. And by the way, every asset I share in this video, like the ones right here, will be very easily
04:46downloadable all at once in a very clearly outlined folder in the description below. Go So ahead and get that whenever you want.
04:53But to quickly get into these specifically, first, got the textiles. It's super short and sweet, just outlining how our headings should look
05:01and how to you utilize the fonts we chose. You could see how easy it is to swap out the words here. For example, a different font or a different word for these over here.
05:11Um, now to summarize the scene composition doc, it basically gives a rule to translate the meaning of a script into visuals. Not verbatim copying the words of the script, right, and turning those into motion graphics, but converting the words into a visual representation.
05:28I hope that makes sense. It will once we actually get into it. Next, we have scene revision and versioning behavior doc.
05:35Okay? This is a personal preference of mine. I think you'll like it too.
05:38Basically, when we suggest to change a scene, let's say it did something we don't like, it won't edit that original scene. It will duplicate it first and create a version two of that one scene, kinda like how it shows here.
05:51Sometimes you may not like an edit, and it's a hassle to sometimes revert a change, uh, when the original may have been better. Right?
05:59So this document kind of prevents that. Now for the first example in this video, we want this rule applied, creative unlock. Okay?
06:09Basically, giving it freedom to think outside of the box and use what it feels is best to compose scenes. I'll get into this little document down here a bit later.
06:20But now let's go back and go into the skills folder this time so we could make Claude work longer. Let's drop this anti gravity skill, which will teach Claude how to use tokens in a more efficient way.
06:35It's a beautiful GitHub repository made by Kingstar Omega. You'll find it in the asset download, or you could actually visit the GitHub page here and download it there to support the creator of it.
06:48And now we're pretty much done. Claude is officially ready
06:52to be enhanced. So let's move on to the next step. So we are officially ready to start generating video scenes, which moves us on to part four where we need to install the anti gravity skill and set the rules first.
07:06So we have our resources folder ready. We have our skills folder ready. So pay close attention now, follow along if you like, or just sit back and watch the workflow and download the step by step guide for later.
07:18K? I start off every new cloud session by setting the folders first, which is our main folder that holds the resources and skills folder that we created at the beginning. Next, let's start by focusing on installing the skill to make the token usage more efficient.
07:36I say this. First, install and activate the anti gravity protocol skill. Let me know when it's complete and how you are enhanced.
07:45After a few seconds, I get this response. Anti gravity protocol installed and active.
07:52What you enhanced me with, no preambles, no summaries, three strict modes automatically selected per task. Tool priority enforced, no guessing.
08:02You may get a slightly different response, don't worry about that. If it indicates that it's installed, then you're in a good place. Now, let's make sure it understands those parameters we set in the four documents that we added to that resources folder.
08:17Read the content in the resources folder. Then I paste the location here just to be safe. Learn it and tell me when you are done.
08:26Here's how it responded to me. Done reading all four files. Let me save this to memory now.
08:32Here's what I learned. One, textile. Two, scene composition.
08:36Three, scene versioning. Four, creative unlock rule. Now,
08:42we are ready to install and open Remotion. So I like to open Remotion in Google Chrome. That is why earlier I said we need Claude Chrome extension.
08:54I like to switch between numerous tabs in my workflow, and I like Remotion to be one of those tabs.
09:01So if we go to the Remotion site again, click this a ton or just one time to copy it, come back into Claude. I'll say, next, install Remotion skill. Paste the skill here.
09:15Let me know when you are done. Now you could see one one variety of the three responses I said you might get if Claude has everything it needs to install correctly. Remember, I've got quick one to three minute videos on the subject.
09:31If it doesn't work for you, it's kinda like the prerequisite requirements for first timers. Anyways, if we go back into Remotion over here, there is a button that takes us to the templates page.
09:43You could read through some of these and select. The thing with vibe coding is the context really matters. Right?
09:50Like, what you said at the beginning, it kind of dictates the long run. It's like expecting a pizza at the front door, but then getting a burrito. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
09:58It's just not what you expected. Right? Honestly,
10:01for beginners, I recommend just starting with hello world. It's a good overall base. And other times, just say choose what's best to be adaptive to my requirements and script.
10:12But for this case, just to experiment a little bit, I'll say three d. After some time, it says done. Remotion is installed with React three Fiber template.
10:24Now I say open Remotion with Chrome open here on the side, and moments later, it automatically opens up. And if it doesn't, it might give you a link or some sort of instructions.
10:36You could press this link here, and it does the same thing and opens up. And now, we are officially ready to use a video script to generate scenes that perfectly flow with what's being said. So let's get into that.
10:50So part six, we're gonna generate motion graphics based on a video script. Well, we're gonna need a video to work with. Right?
10:56So we drafted up this super simple script here for a video called three reasons mister beast has mastered the art of retention. We even recorded it so we can show you how everything pieces together later. Okay?
11:11Now this document file that holds the script is dropped inside our Claude code project folder. K? Now we go back into our Claude session and say this.
11:23I added a script to the folder, then I paste the folder path again. It's called three reasons mister beast has mastered the art of retention. Read it, then draft out scenes for a script.
11:36Now after a quick moment, you can see it drafted up 20 scenes that go along with the script. Now for the fun part. We go back into Remotion.
11:46Remember, to get this, all you have to do is say open Remotion and make sure you have Chrome open as well, and it will create a tab for you. Then go back into Claude and save this exact prompt because it is my favorite to have a lot of fun with the motion.
12:02Okay? Build the first five scenes. Use your creative unlock.
12:07State your creative direction as such and paste this part below here. Now we can see it shows
12:17editorial investigation as a style and locked it in. Right?
12:21Think the New Yorker meets a forensic autopsy of mister beast tactics. Then just over here, we could see the five scenes that it generated.
12:31Scene one,
12:35scene two,
12:39scene three,
12:42scene four,
12:47and scene five. Okay. Pause.
12:50I'll show you how to revise and how to work with these in a bit, but we got more scenes to generate. Right? So I wanna show you different styles before we continue and really show you what creative unlock really does.
13:01So here's what we do. In Claude, we say, now for the next five scenes, change your creative direction lock. Showcase your choice again, then generate the next five scenes.
13:13This time, it chose mission control. Think NASA flight ops meets ESPN broadcast bug meets cinematic war room ATD. That's crazy.
13:21Now I went ahead and changed the creative direction every five scenes just to show you what's up and save you the time. K? These five scenes are, for you page, algorithmic capture.
13:31Think TikTok for you page meets Spotify wrapped for a Gen Z brain. These five scenes are called architect manifesto. Think Tadao Ando concrete cathedral combined with Massimo Viginelli typography combined with Kubrick monolith.
13:48That one was a tough one to say. These five scenes are called sketchbook, a closer's notebook. Drop the polish, the final stretch feels like flipping over the back cover of all four previous chapters and finding the creator's actual working notebook.
14:03And finally, these five scenes are called a boardroom whiteboard, the founder's drop. Think GlassWall's startup meeting room at 11PM. Pretty cool so far.
14:12Right? Now, where do we go next from here? So we've got a lot more to show you, such as how to revise clips, how to make them transparent,
14:20how to make them work around your face cam. Right? Generate images for your graphics to use, a lot more.
14:26But how about we save that for a bit later? And first, let's just show you how to render out of the 30 scenes we already have and start putting them into our edit. Okay?
14:37So this is super simple. In Claude, all we have to say is create the out folder with all the scenes. Make them ten eighty p.
14:44You can also say four k, which is awesome, but for this video, I'm just gonna say ten eighty p. Now, after you give it time to render, go into your Cloud session project folder.
14:54Remember this one right here that we made? We called it learn v one. Now, you'll see there's literally a folder called out with all our ten eighty p m p four files.
15:06Now, moving on, let's add motion graphics to the video.
15:11Okay? But first, let's show you our little Mr. Beast example video.
15:15We like to edit here in DaVinci Resolve, but all the principles that we use in this video work on the other platforms like Adobe Premiere as well. So let me just show you the first few seconds of this, uh, of this video here.
15:29Three reasons why mister Beast has mastered the art of retention. He doesn't just make videos, he builds traps for your attention. So, yes, I did change my voice to Drake for fun, and I did add captions.
15:41I knew for the tutorial, my head would be up here in this corner, and I'd be talking. So I wanted to know what part of the script was being said without actually hearing it. And I wanted to change the voice from mine so you could tell the difference between tutorial speaking me and example video me.
15:59So I wanna show you my process here. We have our example video clip together here, and we have our generated scenes right here on the right. Okay?
16:08Now you can see the first scene up there says attention trap. Right? And so I'd like to scroll down here to the playhead where we can find the word attention or trap, and then we can mark it by pressing m twice and labeling it scene one.
16:25Okay? Now we could do the exact same thing for scene two and find the word engineering. Right?
16:33So it is right here, somewhere around there, and we can mark it the same way with scene two.
16:42You could see I did this for the whole video. I marked every scene on the timeline. It was super, super easy.
16:48Now, starting with scene one, let's bring the playhead right over to scene one over here. Okay?
16:54Let's drag that right up to it. And now, let's go all the way up to the top right and grab scene one, and then drag it slowly over to the playhead.
17:08Just like that. Okay. Now let's go to scene two, and let's bring the playhead there.
17:15And let's do the exact same thing by dragging scene two over here and bringing it back down to the playhead. Just like this.
17:25Super simple. Now, I don't like that there's just a super mini gap right in between these, so let's just close that gap and bring them together. Just like that.
17:35Now let's go up to the effects tab up here in the top left, and let's search push into video transitions.
17:44And let's bring that to the beginning. Oops. I gotta probably zoom in just a little bit.
17:50Yeah. Let's bring that to the beginning. There we go.
17:54And let's make it a little bit shorter to make the transition faster. And let's do the exact same thing on the end. Perfect.
18:03And now let's just go to the beginning and watch it together. Three reasons why mister Beast has mastered the art of retention. He doesn't just make videos.
18:14He builds traps for your attention. Every second is engineered so you don't click away. And once you understand these three retention tricks, you'll never watch his videos the same way again.
18:25Okay. So you could see I do this across the board for all the scenes, and then I add these little whoosh sound effects at the beginning and end of all these little sections here just to kinda go along with the transitions.
18:38Then here, I'm simply adding a chill music beat in the background. And just like that, we're done. That was so fast to complete this video.
18:45Now, let's turn this entire thing into a compound clip so we can speed it up for the video and watch it together. Three reasons why mister beast has mastered the art of retention. He doesn't just make videos, he builds traps for your attention.
18:59Every second is engineered so you don't click away. And once you understand these three retention tricks, you'll never watch his videos the same way again. Reason number one, the promise is instantly clear.
19:09Most traders waste the first 10 explaining. Mister Beast doesn't. He tells you exactly what's at stake immediately.
19:14I gave a 100 people $10,000. I survived fifty hours underground. Last to leave wins $500,000.
19:20No confusion, no warm up, no dead air. Your brain instantly knows the game. And when the game is clear, curiosity kicks in.
19:27Reason number two, every video has a countdown feeling. Even when there isn't a literal timer, his videos feel like they're counting down. There's always pressure.
19:33Someone might lose. Someone might win. Something might go wrong.
19:37The viewer isn't just watching events happen. They're waiting for the next That's why his pacing feels addictive because every scene creates a question.
19:44What happens next? Reason number three, he resets attention constantly. Here's the secret most people miss.
19:50Mister Beast doesn't rely on the hook. He rehooks you every twenty to forty seconds. Seconds.
19:54New challenge, new twist, new rule, new elimination, new reward, new problem. Right when your brain starts to settle, he changes the pattern. That's retention.
20:03Not just grabbing attention once, but earning it again and again. So Mr. Beast retention isn't magic.
20:09It's structure. It's a clear promise, constant tension, repeated hooks, escalating states, the zero confusion. That's why his videos don't just get clicks, they hold attention.
20:18And in modern content, attention is the whole game. Don't just make people start watching build up video where people feel forced to finish.
20:27Now, I did this as fast as possible for the purpose of this video, and I completed it so fast. Like, you guys don't even understand. I don't even know how long it took.
20:36Maybe like an hour max to record, generate the scenes, put it all together. It would have taken me days to complete all these motion graphics and edits and putting it all together,
20:47HOOKespecially while working a day job, it's it's just insane how fast this was completed. Now you're starting to be in a really, really good place to take over, but I've got some more for you. This next section is all about revision.
21:01HOOKIf looking at just this one scene, this one scene right here, one of my favorite scenes that it generated, what if we want it to only take up half of the screen just like this and then reorient itself to fit on whatever half you want leaving the space for the webcam. So this is how we're gonna do that.
21:20Remember in our resources folder, I gave you a doc that's just for us, not meant for the AI. I said that we're gonna come back to it later. So this is that part of the video that we're coming back to it.
21:29This doc right here is called revision prompts. Inside it, we have two prompts. So let's start with this first one here.
21:36Look how easy this is. Copy this and then paste it into our Claude session. All you have to do is say what scene you want to adjust
21:45and where you want your graphics to be adjusted to.
21:50So in the prompt, I'll say scene 13 and left 35% of the screen. Now let's look at what it generated.
21:59So first of all, we know that this new generation will be here on the left side. Right? So we're going to have to reposition our talking head just a little bit.
22:08So over here, let's just push that that over and zoom a bit to clear the black space. Now remember the rule we made in the resources folder, that any revision will not adjust the original scene. It will actually just create a version two
22:22like we see right here. This just protects us just in case we actually prefer the original more than the revised version. But in this case, we like our revised version, so let's drag that over top of the original.
22:35It's important that it's over the webcam just like you see here. And now simply go to the inspect menu or wherever your crop tool is and
22:45bring the right side in to go up to this line right here. Now if we play it back, you can see the specific prompt that we used is great because it's not only just on the left side. Right?
22:57It needed a bit of logic to reorient itself in a way that makes sense, and it will fit in this tiny little space here without overlapping. It's honestly great. You could do the same exact thing for vertical videos.
23:09You could just say something like top 50% of screen or bottom 50% of screen. Now, what if we actually wanna take this a step further and remove this background entirely?
23:20Now, here's a process on how I completely remove the background. So let's go back to the revision prompt doc. This time, let's use the background removal prompt.
23:29This prompt is really, really awesome because first, it green screens your clip, but more importantly, it uses logic to convert the elements in the scene to fully solid colors that are far from green and create really easy separation from the background. This is super important because it makes it really easy for us to then remove the background in our editing software.
23:50So copy this to Claude, add your scene right here, and then just wait for the generation. Now we are back in DaVinci Resolve, and you see we have our new generation right over here to the right where we have the green screen.
24:04Drag it over the last revision. Now just look how much of these elements stand out from the green screen. This is what makes it so easy.
24:14Go to the effects tab over here and search three d gear under resolve effects, and drag that onto our new clip. Now close the effects tab, and right over here, set this little thing to OpenFX Overlay.
24:28Then just over here in the green space with that thing selected, draw a little line just like this. Now you'll see that the background is gone, and all we have to do is increase the despill over here in the inspector tab. Switch between flat or tight and pick whichever one looks best.
24:48In this case, it's flat.
24:52And now we see that there's no background, and it looks great. New challenge, new twist, new rule, new elimination,
25:01new reward, new problem. That's awesome. We're making a lot of progress in this video, and now I think I just got one final thing to show you guys.
25:10So Claude plus Remotion alone, we'll go ahead and create images for you. So what if we want this scene right here to go from this to this? A phone with legit images on it.
25:22Right? Not just the motion graphic. It's actually pretty simple.
25:26So first of all, we have to actually go ahead and gather and create images. In this case, I use ChatGPT to generate the 10 vertical Mr. P style thumbnails.
25:37Now returning to our Cloud project session folder, we're going to create another folder inside that called PNGs, and drop all the thumbnails or images you want to use in your motion graphic in there, just like this. Now when we're returning to our cloud session, we skip past the part of removing our background and all that stuff since we already showed it in the previous example.
25:58But let's show you this additional prompt here. Now remove the text on the phone and select one image to be on the phone for each slide. You'll obviously have to be descriptive depending on your exact scene and what you envision,
26:13then put images are in this folder. Paste the folder path. As you see here, we have the PNG folder at the very end, and now you just press enter and wait for your generation.
26:24Now let's drag this final version here onto the original. Do the same thing as last time. Apply the three d here.
26:35Remove the background.
26:38Increase the despill, and now if we have a look at the final playback. Here's the secret most people miss.
26:48CTAMister Beast doesn't rely on the hook. He rehooks you. We can see we got exactly what we wanted.
26:56CTAThe back includes our Claude masterclass, or should I say Claude Remotion masterclass that helps you retire part of your editing process that takes a lot of time and ultimately helping you level up as a creator. This video in particular, though, did take a lot of time.
27:10CTAI've been waking up at 04:30 before work to, you know, start chipping away at it and make progress and get it out to you guys. So I really hope you guys learned a thing or two. I have a lot more tutorials coming out in this space.
27:20CTAWe have a whole playlist going now. And finally, please like, comment, and subscribe. I truly, truly appreciate you, and cheers.

The split that makes AI motion graphics actually work
WHAT TO LEARN
Giving Claude total freedom produces visual chaos; total rules produce generic output — the functional workflow lives in separating what the AI must obey from what it gets to invent.
- Splitting instructions into strict rules (structure, versioning, fonts) and full creative freedom (composition, color, metaphor) is what prevents AI-generated scenes from looking generic or misaligned with intent.
- A token-efficiency skill installed at session start can extend usable scenes per session from roughly 10 to 30-40, changing completion from a multi-day effort to a single session.
- Naming a creative direction per batch of five scenes keeps visual consistency within sections while allowing deliberate contrast between them.
- The versioning rule — never overwrite, always create v2 — is the safety net that makes rapid AI revision feel low-risk; you keep the original until you are certain the new version is better.
- Prompting Claude to use only solid, non-green colors before rendering gives a clean chroma key in post without any manual masking.
- Marking scene boundaries on the timeline by keyword match in the transcript before dragging rendered clips is faster and more accurate than syncing by eye after the fact.
- The pipeline compresses to under an hour because each step passes structured output forward — the bottleneck is not generation speed, it is how clearly you defined the job at each hand-off.
