Luma connector brings Claude Motion animations into video

Luma has launched an MCP connector that sends Claude Motion animations into its video tools, so explainers made in Claude can be restyled, reframed and exported as finished video.

Luma announced that animations made with Claude Motion, Anthropic's animation feature, now open directly in Luma through an MCP connection. Creators can then expand, refine and reframe the animations into other formats by telling Luma's agent what they want.

Claude Motion is in beta on Claude Team and Enterprise plans. It turns a prompt into a short animation by writing code that animates text, charts, shapes and images, and the result plays like a short video. Luma says its role is to turn that motion into a finished video using its Ray and Uni video generation models.

According to Luma, the workflow runs in four steps:

  • Create an animated explainer in Claude Motion from your own text, charts and images.
  • Add the Luma connector in Claude.
  • The animation appears in Luma as a video.
  • In Luma, restyle the look while keeping the original motion, reframe it to 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 21:9, or ask the Luma agent for more versions.

Luma says Anthropic's own Claude Motion announcement pointed customers to Luma as a way to develop the look and shots further and to make versions for different screens.

The release does not cover pricing or usage limits for the connector. It also doesn't say whether Luma generation inside this workflow needs a separate Luma subscription, or how well restyled output keeps the details of the original animation.
