Claude Opus 5.5: How To Make Motion Graphics
Useful for AI filmmakers looking to automate motion graphics, app promotions, and product visual effects by leveraging Claude alongside 3D tools like Blender without manual keyframing.
What this lesson covers
Rourke demonstrates a multi-level workflow for creating app animations and 3D motion graphics using Claude and Blender. He details a four-step framework covering asset gathering, storyboard approval, seamless visual transitions, and automated audio placement.

Every motion graphics project follows four core steps: providing assets, approving a storyboard, building the sequence, and adding audio.
- 03:07 ↗
Feeding high-resolution logo and UI assets into Claude prevents the model from generating low-quality shape-layer approximations.
- 04:42 ↗
Directing Claude to transition scenes seamlessly without cross-dissolves maintains higher visual polish and viewer engagement.
- 06:14 ↗
Instructing Claude to keep primary action locked in the exact center of the frame prevents erratic eye movement across the screen.
- 07:11 ↗
Uploading local sound effect files into the project folder allows Claude to position sound design elements precisely at key animation frames.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Create a dedicated project folder containing high-resolution logos, app screenshot references, and relevant custom Claude skill files.
- Grant Claude file access to the asset folder so it reads the source graphics and UI layouts accurately.
- Ask Claude to generate a numbered storyboard breaking down the sequence before building any animations.
- Refine the storyboard and explicitly instruct Claude to transform shapes seamlessly between frames without using cross-dissolves.
- Enforce visual rules such as keeping main subjects centered in the frame and maintaining continuous motion.
- Upload sound effect assets into the project directory so Claude can sequence audio cues to align with visual cut points.
Before you use this workflow
These notes describe the source video at its publication date. Model access, pricing, connectors and interfaces may have changed. Check the original source and the provider’s current documentation before installing an add-on, connecting an account or spending credits.
ReelStack has not independently tested this workflow. Preview one representative shot and check motion, continuity and output quality before applying it to a full production. No result, cost saving or model capability is guaranteed.
