Build Your Own Motion Library with Claude Code
Claude Code turned the Reels I saved into my own motion graphics library. Save Reels with edits you love, and it rebuilds every animation on your own videos, in your colors and fonts.

Sam’s Tips
Start small. 3 to 5 Reels is plenty for your first round.
Only keep the moves you'd actually use. Tossing is part of it.
Found a new edit you love? Save the Reel to the same folder and tell Claude, "Add the new moves from this Reel to my motion library."
The screen recordings are just for Claude to study. Your library is built on your own videos, so never post other creators' clips.
What You’ll Need
• Claude Code (it comes with every paid Claude plan, like Pro)
• 3 to 5 screen recordings of Reels with edits you love, saved in one folder on your computer
• A few of your own videos in another folder, plus your brand colors and fonts
• About an hour for your first round of test clips

Claude Code (any paid Claude plan)
Standard Prompt
How to use this prompt
Save 3 to 5 screen recordings of Reels you love in one folder, and a few of your own videos in another.
Open Claude Code, paste the prompt below and answer its questions about your folders, colors and fonts.
Watch each test clip and say keep or toss.
Next time you edit a video, tell Claude to use your motion library.
Connection note
Claude Code comes with Claude's paid plans (Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise), not the free plan. Use it in the Claude desktop app or your computer's terminal so it can open your video folders. Setup details checked October 22, 2026. Features and access can change.
Try these next
I post every new prompt on Instagram as I test it.
I want my own motion graphics library for my videos. Ask me which folders, colors and fonts to use, then:
1. Watch my saved screen recordings of Reels I love, frame by frame, and list every animation: what moves, how many frames it takes, and the word it lands on.
2. Rebuild each move on my own footage, in my colors and fonts, as a short test clip. Install any free tools you need, and never change my original files.
3. Show me the test clips so I can keep or toss each one.
4. Save the moves I keep as a skill with exact specs, so in any video I edit you pick the best move for each line.
5. Build one page where every kept move plays, with what it does and when to use it.
