Can Claude make videos?

Yes, with a skill — though not the way a video model does. These 135 skills write motion graphics as code and render them with Chromium and FFmpeg on your machine. That makes them deterministic and editable, and it means a clip costs nothing to produce.

What these skills make

Motion clips and overlays

Short animated pieces built from type, shapes and timing — the kind that sits over a talking head or opens a reel.

Launch and brand films

Longer sequences that carry a product or a brand beat through several scenes.

Explainers and storyboards

Clips whose job is to make one idea legible, and boards that plan a shot before anyone films it.

How these are scored

Every skill is installed in a clean workspace, run against its own demo prompt, and the result is rendered the way you would get it. A vision model then reviews those frames and scores them 1–5 on legibility, composition and whether the output matches what the skill promised. Nothing below 4 is published. The score is not a popularity number — there are no install counts or stars here, because this catalog is new and inventing those would be worse than leaving them out.

How to use one in Claude Code

1. Install it

Open the skill and copy the install command into Claude Code. It writes the skill into ~/.claude/skills.

2. Ask in plain words

Describe what you want. The skill supplies the structure and the style; you supply the content.

3. Check the output

Every skill lists what it needs from you and what it hands back, so you can tell a good run from a bad one.

Common questions

Is this AI-generated footage?

No, and that is the point. There is no video model involved: the skill produces code that draws each frame, so the result is repeatable, editable afterwards, and free to render again.

Can Claude watch or analyse a video?

That is a different capability and these skills do not provide it. They make video; they do not read it.

What do I need installed?

Node.js 20 or newer, FFmpeg, and Chromium via npx playwright install chromium. No API key.
