Short answer: not by itself. Claude can write scripts, storyboards and shot lists, and even watch frames you give it, but it doesn’t render video. With a video connector, though, it can send your brief to today’s best video models, wait for the clip and play it in the chat, then edit it: trim, reframe for TikTok, add music and captions.
What “video in Claude” looks like
- You describe the clip: “an 8-second vertical shot of coffee being poured in slow motion, with the sound of it”.
- Claude asks a model advisor which video model fits (length, shape, sound, speech, budget) and tells you the price in credits.
- You say yes. The clip renders in one to three minutes and appears in the chat, with a download button.
- You ask for changes: a longer version, 9:16, captions, music. Each is one more message.

Three ways to make a video
1. From a description
PromptMake a 6-second 16:9 clip: a paper boat floating on a rain puddle, close-up, gentle rain sound. Start with a cheap draft.
2. From an image
PromptAnimate this product photo [attach]: slow 360° turn on a black plinth, soft rim light, 5 seconds, vertical.
3. From an existing video
PromptHere’s a TikTok link. Put me in it instead of the dancer, first 6 seconds, 768p. Show me the price first.
That last one is a face swap, and it asks you to confirm consent before running.
Can Claude edit videos?
- Trim to the part you want.
- Reframe 16:9 to 9:16 for TikTok and Reels (crop, or fit over a blurred background).
- Join clips and lay music or a voiceover under them.
- Captions: TikTok-style word-by-word, timed to the voice.
What it costs
Video is priced per second and resolution. On Typeshoot the default model costs 17 credits a second at 720p (a 5-second clip is 85 credits) and 6 a second at 360p for drafts. Claude always shows the price before anything over 100 credits.
