10 Claude Prompts to Create Videos

1 · Brief

Help me write a video brief. Ask me one question at a time about the goal, audience, platform, aspect ratio, duration, key message, tone, brand colors and fonts, assets, voiceover, music, and call to action. Then save the brief to brief.md.

2 · Plan

Read brief.md. Before you write any code, propose the scene list, timing, visual style, transitions, and file structure. List every asset or decision you still need from me. Wait for my approval.

3 · Storyboard

Turn the approved plan into a storyboard table with scene number, start and end time, on-screen text, visuals, motion, voiceover line, and sound. Flag every line too long to read in its time slot.

4 · Brand rules

Add our video brand rules to CLAUDE.md: colors as exact hex values, fonts and weights, logo files and minimum sizes, caption style, safe zones per platform, preferred transitions, and anything we never use.

5 · Build

Build the video from the approved storyboard, following the brand rules in CLAUDE.md. Use only files from the assets folder. Put each scene in its own file. Start the preview and tell me how to open it.

6 · Captions

Add captions from the voiceover script with word-level timing. Keep them inside the safe zone, at most two lines, high contrast, and in our caption style. Captions must stay on screen from the first frame to the last.

7 · Kinetic text

Make a 15-second kinetic typography video for the line “[line]”. Bring each word in on the beat, with one strong emphasis word in our accent color. 9:16, 30 fps.

8 · Product demo

Make a 45-second product demo from the screenshots in assets/screens. Place each screen in a device frame, zoom into the key feature, add a short caption for each step, and close on the call to action “[CTA]”.

9 · Data video

Turn data/[file].csv into a 30-second animated chart video. Animate the bars or lines as they grow, label the key numbers, and highlight the biggest change. Check every number against the file.

10 · Review and render

Review the whole video before you render: spelling, timing, captions inside safe zones, contrast, audio levels, and every fact against the brief. List the problems and fix them once I approve. Then render the final MP4 at [resolution] and [fps] to exports/.
