A Claude Motion alternative that runs on your PC

What Claude Motion is

Claude Motion is Anthropic’s tool for motion graphics inside Claude. You describe the piece, Claude builds it, and you export an MP4. According to Anthropic’s guide, it is a beta on Team and Enterprise plans, what you make counts toward your plan’s usage limits, and there is no video generation model behind it, so it does not make realistic footage or people.

Motion graphics can also be written as code: shapes, type and timing that a renderer turns into frames. Claude Code writes that code on your own PC, and that is how we made our brand film.

The options side by side

Who each one suits

• Claude Motion if you are on a Team or Enterprise plan and want the quickest path, with nothing to install.
• HyperFrames if you think in web pages: it builds video from HTML and CSS, and it is open source.
• Remotion if you know React, or want its preview Studio in the browser.
• Cinder Motion if you would rather ask in plain words than set up a project. It is not on sale yet; see the plan.

Set one up on Windows

First, Node and FFmpeg

Remotion needs Node. HyperFrames needs Node 22 or newer, and FFmpeg. In a terminal:

winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
winget install Gyan.FFmpeg

Then close the terminal and open a new one, so it finds them.

HyperFrames

1. Make a project:

   npx hyperframes init my-video
   cd my-video

   Copy the commands
2. Add the HyperFrames plugin to Claude Code:

   claude plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
   claude plugin install hyperframes@hyperframes

   Copy the commands
   Then type /hyperframes:hyperframes in Claude Code and describe your video.
3. Preview it. This keeps running:

   npx hyperframes preview

   Copy the command
4. Render the MP4 from a second terminal:

   npx hyperframes render

   Copy the command

Remotion

1. Make a blank project and add Remotion’s skills for Claude Code:

   npx create-video --yes --blank my-video
   cd my-video
   npx remotion skills add

   Copy the commands
2. Start the preview. It runs in your browser and keeps running:

   npm run dev

   Copy the command
3. In a second terminal, in the same folder, start Claude Code and describe your video:

   claude

   Copy the command
4. Render with the Render button in the preview Studio, or ask Claude to render it.

Then read how to prompt for motion graphics: beats, easing and checking the render.
