Tutorials & explainers

Give your agent an article, notes or just a topic: Explainer Director writes the script, fact-checks it and directs it shot by shot into a 30–90 second explainer. The steps, cycles and callouts below are its shots, and each works on its own too.

From your material to a finished video

Give your agent what you have; the workflow writes, directs and renders the MP4.

Cycle Loop

Open skill →Free
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make an 8-second 16:9 loop diagram for [who will watch, e.g. the marketing team], playing [where, e.g. the planning deck]. Use only the title and four steps below. Off-white background.

The title appears. Four white rounded cards with small orange numbers pop in around a faint dotted circle: top, right, bottom, left. Curved orange arrows draw clockwise from each card to the next. A short line fades in at the center in gray. End frame: a glowing orange dot travels around the circle continuously, briefly outlining each card in orange as it passes.

Title: [e.g. "The content flywheel"]
Four steps: [e.g. Publish, Measure, Learn, Improve]
Center line: [e.g. "Every week"]

Checklist Ticks

Open skill →Free
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 7-second 16:9 checklist for [who will watch, e.g. our content team], playing [where, e.g. the training page]. Use only the title and four items below; don't reword them. Warm off-white background.

The title fades up, then four white rounded cards slide in from the left, each with an empty checkbox and a label. One by one each checkbox fills rust orange with a little bounce, a white tick draws in, and its label dims. End frame: a small orange pill pops in below, held for 1.5 seconds.

Title: [e.g. "Before you hit publish"]
Four items: [e.g. "Hook in the first second", "Captions on", "Logo at the end", "Exported in 9:16 too"]
Pill: [e.g. "Ready to ship"]

Phone Callouts

Open skill →Free
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 7-second 16:9 app scene for [who will watch, e.g. new users], playing [where, e.g. the app's landing page]. Use only the screenshot and four labels I give. Deep navy background.

A black phone showing the screenshot rises into the center with a slight rotation that settles. One at a time, small violet dots appear on parts of the screen and thin violet lines draw out to white labels on the left and right. End frame: the phone floats gently with all four labels showing.

Attach: [a phone screenshot of your app]
Four labels and what each points at: [e.g. "Today's plan at a glance", "One-tap check-ins", "Streaks that stick", "Start in one tap"]

Screenshot Zoom Callout

Open skill →Free
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make a 7-second 16:9 product scene for [who will watch, e.g. prospects], playing [where, e.g. the feature page]. Use only the screenshot and caption I give. Off-white background.

A browser window with the screenshot settles in with a soft shadow. After a beat, the camera pushes smoothly into the detail I name. The rest of the screenshot dims under a dark overlay while the detail gets an orange outline, and an orange pill caption pops in just below it. End frame: the camera keeps drifting in very slightly.

Attach: [a screenshot of your product]
Detail to zoom into: [e.g. the top-right revenue card "$48.2k"]
Caption: [e.g. "Revenue updates live"]
