AI motion graphics just hit a level I didn’t think we’d see this year. In this tutorial I’ll show you exactly how to make AI motion graphics using Claude Opus 4.7 running on Higgsfield’s Super Computer with Seedance 2.0, and the results are honestly insane.
Whether you want to build video game selection screens, animated widgets, map animations, documentary style layouts, or modern ads with 3D objects, this workflow covers all of it. No After Effects. No keyframes. No motion graphics degree.
I walk through both core methods: text to motion graphics, where you describe what you want and the AI builds it, and image to motion graphics, where you upload a still and animate from there. I’ll also show you how I use Pinterest for reference, how Claude generates hyper specific prompts for every movement, and the multi tab workflow I use to test different motion options in parallel.
The same pipeline works with Claude Code if that’s your preferred setup. The core process is identical, it just routes through Seadance for the motion generation step, so everything in this video applies either way.
I also cover how to take existing footage and make it more cinematic using AI environment modification, plus how to apply the look from a still image directly onto your video’s motion and color grading.
If you’ve been looking for an AI motion graphics tutorial that actually goes beyond basic prompts, this is the one. Drop a comment with what you build, I want to see it.
Key Insights
Jarvis, generate me motion graphics for this video script. Right away, sir. Generating now. Every single motion graphic on your screen right now is straight out of Claude. [music] Now, I just spent the last week burning through thousands of credits, pushing this model to its absolute breaking point. And I think this is capable of changing how a lot of people edit their videos. Once you try this, you’ll realize it gets dangerously addictive. It gives you the feeling of maximum productivity when in reality, you’re not doing anything. For example, if you start with a simple sentence, it will then ask you for clarification on things you didn’t specify. Once you select the options it gives [music] you, it will then come up with mock-up images of what it thinks you want. Then, once you select the image [music] you like the best, it will begin mapping out the animation. I’ve been running Claude Opus 4.7 instead of Higgsfield’s supercomputer. [music] The link is below if you want to follow along and do this right now. You probably know that Claude code can generate some insane motion graphics, but I find that the motion can sometimes feel a little bit dead. But when I use Opus 4.7, it taps into C-DANCE. This is what lets you get experimental with the motion. And so, obviously this is not perfect to the point where it could replace the video editor. After all, I did edit this video myself, but this is a pretty big advancement for helping you save time. So, when you upload a photo here and ask it to animate how you want it, you will literally see it generating a prompt for every single movement of the animation. So, first we can try some video game selection screens and call-outs. [music] And there’s a few different ways we can do this. So, if we don’t have a start frame, we can just type in something like, “I want a 16x9 animation of an army special ops video game character standing with a weapon making subtle movements. On the side, I want a video game UI for a start screen. There should be options like start game, resume game, select character, etc.” Now, I’m going to select Opus 4.7 as this is going to be the most powerful model. And then as you can see, it’s going to start building everything [music] out. So, now it’s telling me it’s going to use C-DANCE 2.0, the aspect ratio, the quality, and the time. You can adjust all of these. And then, once you approve, it’ll start to generate the video. Now, while that’s loading, I want to show you how to make something more specific. [music] So, here we are in Pinterest. I’m just going to search video game start screen. And then as you can see, there are some pretty cool options. For example, something like this. And so, as we’re waiting for this to generate, we can come back to our original and click it. So, for just a quick prompt, that actually did a pretty good job. Um obviously, [music] to get it exactly how we want it, um that’s what this first frame is going to do for us. As you can see, it’s given us this one, and then we can upload [music] it here. And I’m just going to write, “Turn this image into a video. I want the soldier to be making subtle movements. I want all of the game UI to animate in, and then I want the callout cards to pop in one by one, outlining the gear and armor.” And so, once it’s done, we have something that looks like this. So, section two, we can do some widgets and card animations. Again, we can do one example where we just talk to it, and then we’ll do another example where we go to Pinterest and find some really cool pictures and see if we can recreate them. Say your video was talking about your clothing store. The first thing that came to mind was, “Generate me a motion graphic for an Apple-themed modern online store.” And so, if you’re ever not specific enough, cuz you really don’t have to be that specific, it’ll generate this little selection menu here. And so, you can choose your aspect ratio, if you didn’t specify, and then which widget would you like
