Free tool: Motion OS, the player I use to edit these videos
Once Claude has built your video, Motion OS opens it in a simple player on your computer. Watch it scene by scene, switch to Edit to drag or resize anything on screen, pin notes on the exact frame you want changed, and export a new MP4. Anything you can't change yourself goes back to Claude as one copy-paste prompt.

Step 0: Sign up to Higgsfield and connect it to Claude.
Every image and video clip in this guide is made in Higgsfield.
This guide shows you how I made two launch videos for my invoicing app, QuickSend, using Claude and Higgsfield. These are the exact prompts I used. Follow them in order to recreate both videos.

What you need: Claude Code (Opus 5.5) with Higgsfield connected.
Before you start: make an empty project folder, open Claude Code in it, and save the music track there as music.mp3. I used "Be My Lover (Instrumental Version)" by I'MIN from Epidemic Sound (find it here). Download it with your own Epidemic Sound plan.
Higgsfield cost: about 1.5 credits. Claude makes the 12 profile photos with Soul 2.0 at about 0.12 credits each. The rest is code.

Claude builds the whole video in code with Remotion (a tool that turns React code into video), and makes the profile photos itself through Higgsfield. Paste this into Claude Code:

Prompt for Claude Code
Make a 45 second launch video for my invoicing app QuickSend, introducing Qbot, its built-in AI assistant. Copy the structure, pacing and style of the first 30 seconds of this launch video: <https://whatships.com/videos/rene/> No b-roll. End on the QuickSend logo.
Build it in code with Remotion. Copy the real UI from my prototype: <https://quicksend-prototype.jasonlee-brands.workers.dev/> (the Qbot chat, the lock screen notification and the invoice list).
Brand: Inter for UI text, Inter Tight for headlines. Ink #0F0D17, navy #1F1447 for my chat bubbles and the wordmark, Qbot purple #7B5CFF as the accent, lavender #C3B1FF for the logo circle, light grey #F4F3F6 for Qbot's bubbles. The logo is a lavender circle with a navy paper plane next to the "QuickSend" wordmark. Qbot is the purple mascot from the prototype: its eyes do the acting (blink, look around, wink) and it squashes and stretches when it lands.
Scenes:
1. Cold open (8s): a big navy bubble "Hey, where's my invoice for Daniel?" floats on white, then the camera pulls back into the Qbot chat on a phone. Qbot replies with Daniel Okafor's invoice card (INV-0042, $1,240, Sent): "Sent Sep 28. He hasn't opened it yet." and offers to resend. Me: "Yes pls". Qbot: "Done. I'll tell you the second he opens it."
2. Introducing (6s): "Introducing", Qbot drops in, opens its eyes, looks left then right, and "Qbot" appears. Then "Your invoices on autopilot" with a purple shimmer on "on autopilot".
3. "Watches every invoice" (7s): a phone rises with a lock screen notification "Qbot: Maya Chen opened INV-0043 twice". The camera zooms through the notification into the Qbot chat, with the invoice list blurred behind. Qbot offers a nudge. Me: "Yes plz". Qbot: "Sent. Warm but clear."
4. "Remembers every client" (12s): the 12 client headshots burst out, with status chips on 4 of them. The cloud blurs, a phone rises showing the home screen, and a Qbot notification lands in the bottom half of the frame. A finger taps "Open in Qbot" and the app zooms open into a chat about Tom Becker (INV-0039, $1,150, 5 days overdue): "He paid late in June too...", me: "Wait, you remember that?", me: "Send it", Qbot: "Sent. I remember everything." and Qbot winks.
5. "Chases every dollar" (6s): a gold coin with the paper plane stamped on it replaces the "o" in dollar. It spins and jumps, the camera pans right, and Qbot's eyes follow it. Floating cards: a green "Nair Dental paid you $2,860.50", a tilted navy "LETS GOOOO", and Qbot's "Thank-you receipt sent. Tom's next."
6. End card (6s): the Qbot mascot and "Qbot" with "Now inside QuickSend" underneath flip into the QuickSend logo and wordmark, with "Your invoices on autopilot" lined up under the Q. Hold it while the music fades out.
Slow scenes 3 and 4 by 10% so every message is easy to read.
Style: clean white, Apple keynote feel, word-by-word blur-in headlines, smooth camera push and pull, chat bubbles that pop in with typing dots, real-looking phone frames.
Profile photos: use the Higgsfield MCP to make the 12 client headshots with Soul 2.0 (1:1, 1.5K), one image each, saved as public/faces/0.jpg to 11.jpg. Every one: photorealistic headshot portrait, warm genuine smile, looking at camera, shoulders up, centered, soft natural window light, plain soft light grey background, shallow depth of field, 85mm. The people:
0. Maya Chen: East Asian woman, early 30s, cream knit sweater
1. Daniel Okafor: Black man, late 30s, navy button-up shirt
2. Dr. Nair from Nair Dental: South Asian woman dentist, 30s, dark hair tied back, white clinic coat and stethoscope
3. Tom Becker: white man, 40s, short beard, blue plaid flannel shirt
4. Lucia Romero: Latina woman, late 20s, big curly hair, mustard turtleneck
5. Carlos Wu: East Asian man, 50s, greying hair, black glasses, grey t-shirt
6. Woman, 60s, short silver hair, light blue shirt
7. Young man, 20s, curly strawberry-blond hair, freckles, green hoodie
8. Young woman, 20s, beige hijab, cream blouse
9. Black woman, 40s, short natural hair, grey blazer over a white top
10. Café owner, 50s, short grey hair and grey beard, white t-shirt and dark apron
11. Young blonde woman, 20s, loose side braid, denim jacket
Sound: synthesize subtle chat sounds (a soft send swoosh and a pop), clicks on taps, a ding on payments and tinks for the coin. Music: music.mp3 in this folder is "Be My Lover (Instrumental Version)" by I'MIN. Trim it so its first kick lands on "Introducing" at 8 seconds, keep it low under everything, fade it in at the start and out over the end card.
Render a half-size draft first and check it yourself with contact sheets before showing me. No em dashes in any on-screen text.
