20 free repos that let Claude animate any video

All 20 motion repos, the 4 to install first, and the prompts for your first Claude animated video.

The short version

Claude can now make motion graphics the way a motion designer does, except it writes every frame as code. You describe the video, Claude writes the animation, and a free engine on your computer renders it to an MP4. No After Effects, no video generator, no timeline to learn.

Here are the twenty repos that make that work, sorted by the job each one does, plus the exact setup I'd use if I were starting today.

•What you need: Claude Code (any paid Claude plan), Node.js and FFmpeg. Most repos install with one line.

•What it costs: every repo is free to download. You pay nothing per video, but long videos use a lot of your Claude usage.

•What you get: launch videos, animated charts, logo reveals, explainers, showreels and animated B-roll for your talking videos.
