Opus 5.5 is insane at motion design.
Here's a 5-step framework you can use to create 11/10 motion design videos directly inside Claude Code:
1. Write the graphic brief
Before any code, tell Claude exactly what you want.
Include: video length, aspect ratio, the story, and 2-3 reference videos you like.
2. Set up Remotion
Prompt: "Set up a Remotion project for a 30-second 1080x1920 video."
Remotion turns React code into real video, which means Claude can build real video frames.
3. Lock the design system (Claude Design)
I like using Claude Design for this step - but Codex and other AI tools work too.
Define colors, fonts, easing curves, and timing in one config file before you animate anything. T
4. Build scene by scene
Don't ask for the whole video at once. Build one scene, preview it in Remotion Studio, give feedback, then move on. Treat Claude like a motion designer you're art directing.
5. Polish, then render
Ask for the details: easing on every move, staggered entrances, motion blur, and timing synced to the music.
Finally, you can render and export in MP4.
