Questions
Do I need a paid Claude plan?
Claude's help centre says code execution and file creation is available on every plan, including Free, once it is switched on in Settings. Free plans have lower usage limits and longer videos use more of them, so the guide starts you with a 15-second video.
Do I need editing software or coding skills?
No. You describe the video and every change in plain words. Claude writes and runs the code and gives you the MP4.
What kind of videos can I make?
Animated text, shapes, icons, charts and simple screen mock-ups: explainers, lists, step-by-steps and announcements. It doesn't make real footage, real people or photo-realistic scenes.
Is this a physical book?
No. It's a PDF you can download right after checkout and read on any device.
