Six ways to make animations with Opus: ads, explainers, hand-drawn, 3D, MVs and transitions
dotey · x · 2026-10-22
Creator @aiwarts published a 7-minute video systematizing six categories of animations made with Claude Opus via code: product promo films, explainer animations, hand-drawn/stylized animation, 3D scenes, music MVs, plus a technique for silky transitions using AI video.
The video includes a full timeline walkthrough of the underlying code-animation principles for each category. The key takeaway: you don't need to know how to code, but you must be able to clearly describe the effect you want — prompt expression has replaced programming as the core skill.
