Anthropic launches Claude Motion with Runway export

Anthropic has launched Claude Motion, a beta tool that turns prompts into short animated explainers, with Runway as a launch partner so users can export animations for further video editing.

Anthropic is launching Claude Motion, a beta tool that turns a prompt into a short animated explainer built from the text, charts, shapes and images in a user's own work. Runway, a launch partner, announced that any animation made in Claude Motion can be exported to its platform for further editing.

Claude Motion is available in beta on Claude Team and Enterprise plans starting today. According to Runway's post, Claude writes the code that animates the content. The result plays like a short video that users can adjust in an editor, revise through conversation or download as an MP4. Runway's example uses include turning a quarterly report into a 30-second explainer for an all-hands meeting, adding motion to a chart in a board deck, and building a product walkthrough for customer onboarding.

Once an animation is exported to Runway, users can generate new video and images, edit clips by describing the change they want, and use Runway Agent to plan and assemble a longer cut around the animation. Runway also highlights adding voiceover and music, expanding a 16:9 explainer into vertical and square formats for social channels, and localizing voiceover for regional teams without rebuilding the animation.

The post comes from Runway, so it focuses on the export integration. It does not cover pricing beyond plan eligibility, length limits, the underlying model, or when the beta will end.
