You draw a rough sketch. Claude turns it into a polished, Apple-style motion graphic, ready to post as a reel. No After Effects, no animator, no templates.
This is the exact process behind our DRAW reel: four scenes, 15 seconds, 1080x1920 at 60fps, with music and sound design.
What you'll make
A vertical reel where every scene shows your rough drawing on the left and the finished motion graphic on the right.
| Your drawing | What Claude made | The hero moment |
| Four tabs around the Claude logo | Liquid glass cards with glossy app icons | The cursor clicks Claude and the click cuts to the next scene |
| Three blocks stacked 3, 2, 1 | Glossy 3D blocks on a glass plinth | The top block spins to show the Claude mark. "Built." |
| A dial from Sketch to Animated | A clay knob in a frosted glass ring | The pointer sweeps, every tick lights up, it clicks into place |
| A word map | Frosted word pills joined by dotted lines | "Draw it badly, Opus 5.5 animates it" builds word by word |
That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
