How to Make Videos in Claude

• A Claude account on a plan that lets you add custom connectors.
• An AiWings account (sign in with Google). Usage comes from your AiWings credits.
• About a minute.

You only do this once. After that, videos is available in every Claude chat with the connector turned on.

1. 1In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
2. 2Name it AiWings and paste the URL below.
3. 3Click Connect, then sign in to AiWings and allow access.
4. 4In a new chat, make sure AiWings is turned on in the tools menu.

Name the model in your request. Claude writes a detailed prompt, calls the AiWings video tool and shows the result in the chat. It’s a good idea to let Claude plan first: ask it to sharpen your idea, then generate with Seedance.

Make a 5 second 16:9 video: a slow dolly shot of a glass bottle on wet sand at sunset, waves rolling in, with soft ocean sound.

You don’t have to name a model: Claude uses your saved defaults. Videos take a few minutes. Claude starts the job, waits about 40 seconds, and then the player in the chat keeps updating until your video is ready.

A great workflow is to make the image first, then animate it. Ask Claude for an image with any model, then ask it to turn that image into a video.

Start from a still you already like, such as a product photo or something you generated earlier, and describe only the motion. Keeping the instruction short and about movement gives the cleanest result.

Animate the last image: slow camera push-in, leaves moving in the breeze, soft ambient sound.

You can also reuse an earlier AiWings result without uploading it again by asking to animate “the last image”.

Real, unedited results. Each original image is on the left, and the video Seedance 2.5 made from it is on the right. Seedance adds sound too; it is muted here.

Claude is at its best as a director. Ask it for a short shot list first, then generate each clip so the camera moves and the look stay consistent.

Write a four-shot plan for a 20-second teaser for a ceramic mug brand. Then generate each shot at 480p so I can review the sequence before we make the final versions.

Seedance is ByteDance’s video model. AiWings offers two versions, both with sound. Videos are billed per second, so cost depends on the length and resolution:

Prices are at the top-up rate of $0.01 per credit, and plans include more credits per dollar. Text-to-video and image-to-video, including start frames, end frames and reference images, use the lower rate. Only a reference video, a clip you give the model to follow, uses the higher rate. Seedance 2.0 at 480p is 10 credits ($0.10) per second, which is the cheapest way to test a prompt before you spend more on a higher resolution.

• Test a prompt at 480p first, then re-run the version you like at 720p or higher.
• Describe camera movement explicitly: slow dolly in, handheld, top-down orbit.
• Put spoken lines in quotes and say who says them, so the dialogue is clear.
• Say how long it should be: 4 to 15 seconds on Seedance 2.0, up to 30 on Seedance 2.5.
• Use a Claude Project for a brand: put your style notes in the project and every video prompt in it follows them.

• Claude says it can’t make videos: check that AiWings is turned on in the chat’s tools menu, then ask again.
• The connector shows no tools: remove it in Settings → Connectors and add it again with the same URL.
• Sign-in loops: allow pop-ups for claude.ai and finish the AiWings sign-in in the same browser.
• Out of credits: top up from your AiWings dashboard, then ask Claude to try again.

Claude can’t make videos on its own, but with AiWings added, a video is one sentence away. The same connector also gives Claude GPT Image, Nano Banana, Imagen and Seedream images, all from one balance.
