Explainers and lessons that show how things work
Turn notes, an article, a paper or a topic into an explainer where the thing itself moves: a mechanism, a process, an idea, a period of history, a proof. For YouTube, a course or a class.

On one map: Claude Motion is in beta on Team and Enterprise, but Claude Code is on Pro and Max, and with a motion skill it renders the same kind of video on your computer.

DNS on one map: the resolver asks a root server, then the .com servers, then the site's own server, and keeps the answer for its time to live.
Example of Explainer Director16:9 · 81 s
From RFC 1034, RFC 1035 and IANA's root server list; the site and its address are made-up samples.

From OpenStax Prealgebra 2e, 9.3 and cut-the-knot proofs #4 and #9.
Where should you fetch water so the walk is shortest? Try a few places, then reflect B in the river and go straight: 10 km.
Example of Math Director16:9 · 99 s
A problem written for the film; every length computed and checked two ways.
The sum written forwards and backwards: every column adds to n + 1, checked with dots, then 5,050.

From OpenStax Algebra and Trigonometry 2e, 13.4.
Film types
Each film type has one director, with its styles built in. Try any of them free first: Starter Director makes a 10–20 second film.
Explainers
How something works, with the thing itself moving.
Explainer Director
Finds the shape of an idea and makes the thing itself move.

Describe it in a sentence: your agent makes a 10–20 second film with its own music. When you want the full film, the director here picks up the same project.
Questions
Can it make a YouTube explainer?
Yes. Give it an article, notes or a topic. It finds the shape of the message and shows the thing itself moving, not a row of text cards. Add your own voiceover or a system voice.
Can it explain a paper or a study?
Yes. Every claim and number goes into a sources table with the paper it came from, and the film cites it on screen.
Can it make a lesson with steps?
Yes. The Lesson Director reveals one step at a time, holds long enough to read, and checks the viewer kept up with short quizzes.
Can it work through a math problem?
Yes. The Math Director derives a result on screen one step at a time, or works a problem: it tries first, then shows the trick, computes every length and ends on the check.
