Claude motion graphics prompts by type

Data16:9 · 20 s

Quarterly results for an all-hands

Make a 20-second 16:9 animation from the attached sheet for our all-hands. Open on the headline "Revenue up [18%]" counting up from 0. Then grow the four quarterly bars left to right, one per second, and highlight [Q3] in [#2F5BFF]. End on one line: "[Thank you, team.]" Calm pacing, white background.
Product9:16 · 15 s

Launch teaser from screenshots

Turn the three attached screenshots into a 15-second vertical teaser for [product]. Each screenshot slides in from the right with a soft shadow, holds for 3 seconds and gets one short caption: [caption 1] / [caption 2] / [caption 3]. Finish on the logo and "[launch date]". Snappy easing, dark background.

One number that matters

Animate one statistic for LinkedIn, square, 10 seconds: "[73%] of [customers] [renewed early]". The number counts up, then the sentence types on underneath. A thin ring fills to [73]% around the number. Small grey source line at the bottom: "[source]".

Lyric video (add the song after)

Make a 30-second 16:9 lyric video. Show these lines one at a time, about 4 seconds each, with the key word scaling up on the beat: [line 1] / [line 2] / [line 3]. Hand-drawn shapes drift in the background. No audio. I'll add the track afterwards.
