3D motion design with Claude
3D is what makes a launch film feel expensive. Claude decides where a 3D moment earns its place, so the film gets two or three showpieces instead of noise.
Can Claude make 3D animations?
Claude cannot render 3D on its own, but it can direct it. In Claude Video, Claude chooses 3D shots (extruded titles, devices, exploded UI, particle morphs, a dotted globe) and the engine renders them with three.js, studio lighting and real motion blur, into an MP4.
How it works
From prompt to finished video.
- 01
Describe it or paste a URL
Tell Claude what the 3D sequence is for, or paste your site so it can read the product, grab screenshots and detect your brand colors.
- 02
Claude directs
Claude writes a storyboard: scenes, copy, timing, easing, camera moves and transitions, as structured data you can edit.
- 03
The engine animates
Kinetik renders it frame by frame in React and headless Chrome: springs, motion blur, 3D, particles and physics, with music cut to the beat.
- 04
Refine and export
Change anything by hand or in plain English, then export an MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, up to 4K at 60 fps.
What you get
3D shots, ready to direct.
- 01
3D extruded titles
Your name in your brand font, letters animated one by one, in chrome, glass, iridescent, neon, duotone or clay.
- 02
Particle morphs
About 36,000 GPU particles swirl from a galaxy, sphere or vortex into your product name, then burst.
- 03
Devices and depth
A laptop that opens onto your product, a rotating phone, a floating UI cloud with depth of field.
- 04
Spatial transitions
The camera flies between panels in space, or spins a giant carousel between scenes.
Prompts to try
Just ask.
- › Open with a particle galaxy that forms our name, then cut to the laptop opening on the dashboard.
- › Use a chrome 3D title with studio lighting for the reveal.
- › Show the three main screens as a floating 3D UI cloud with depth of field.

3D motion with Claude and video: FAQ
Do I need 3D software?
No. The 3D scenes are built into the engine and rendered with three.js; Claude only chooses and configures them.
Can I import my own 3D models?
The built-in 3D covers type, devices, UI and particles. Developers can add custom three.js scenes in code.
Does 3D slow down rendering?
Somewhat. 3D and particle scenes are heavier to render than flat scenes, especially at 4K with motion blur.
Will it look good in vertical format?
Yes. Cameras and layouts adapt to 9:16 and 1:1.
Is Claude Video affiliated with Anthropic?
No. It is an independent product built on the Claude API.
