Entire motion design video is pure code, zero After Effects — dev open-sources the Claude prompt template
EricBuess · x · 2026-09-26
Developer @twoclipping shared a striking motion design video made entirely in code with no After Effects, claiming Claude ("opus 5.5") is exceptional at this and even wrote the prompt itself. The video shows one shape continuously morphing through UI states — button, loader, music player, slider, chart, search box — with a simulated cursor driving real clicks and drags, set to royalty-free music.
The open-sourced prompt template works like this:
- Inputs: have the model ask for 8-12 UI states (button, toast, command palette, etc.), a black-and-white or single-accent palette, and a 120 BPM royalty-free song
- Core constraint: never cut — the same element morphs size, radius and color, with content swapping via short blur transitions
