On October 8, Anthropic launched the beta version of Claude Motion, allowing users to convert reports, charts, or product guides into short animations using prompts. Claude drives the movement of text, charts, shapes, and images by writing code, outputting editable MP4 files.

This feature is currently available only to Claude Team and Enterprise plans, enabled by default for Team; it does not use video generation models, thus not generating real images or characters, but allows for individual modifications of numbers, text, or timing without affecting other parts.

Runway, as a launch partner, enables users to export Claude Motion animations to Runway for further video and image generation, editing clips by description, and assembling longer content with Runway Agent; official demonstrations show that Motion provides structure, while Runway supplements pixel-level generation.

Applicable scenarios include converting quarterly reports into 30-second presentations, adding animated charts for board presentations, and creating product guides for new users; animations are based on user-provided content, ensuring accuracy of numbers and text.

Anthropic has also transitioned Claude Docs, Slides, and Design from beta to full release, covering all plans including the free version; Motion animations can be further edited in tools like Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, and Luma AI.

Enterprise users ensure data accuracy at the code level, then enhance visuals at the generation level, forming a layered workflow for explanatory videos; tools relying solely on text-to-video generation face challenges in scenarios requiring numerical precision, while the combination of code animation and generation models offers a new entry point.

Runway publicly stated that users can create chart animations, customer guides, or short explanations with Claude Motion, then import them into Runway to generate final videos and images.
