Claude Motion alternative · any plan
Claude Motion, without the Team plan.
Anthropic's Motion beta is limited to Team and Enterprise. MotionKit teaches the Claude Code, Codex or Cursor you already run to do the same job: turn a doc into an animated video you can edit and export as MP4.

How it works
Three steps, inside the agent you already use
No new app. You talk to your agent; it writes the animation as HTML and renders it locally.
01 · INSTALL
Run one command
Paste your licence key once. The skill lands in Claude Code, Codex and Cursor on that computer.
02 · HAND OVER A DOC
Say what you want
A report, a script, lesson notes or a changelog. The agent drafts a storyboard and picks a style that fits.
03 · EDIT AND EXPORT
Preview, tweak, render
Retime scenes on a timeline or just ask for changes. Export MP4 when it looks right.

Compared
Anthropic's Motion vs MotionKit
Same idea, animation written as code so you can change it. Different door in.
| Motion in Claude (Anthropic) | MotionKit (this site) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can use it | Team and Enterprise workspaces, in beta | Anyone with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, on any plan |
| Where it runs | Inside the Claude app | In your coding agent, rendered on your own computer |
| How it animates | Code-driven animation you can edit | Code-driven animation you can edit (HTML and GSAP on HyperFrames) |
| Output | MP4 export | MP4, plus the HTML source to keep and re-edit |
| Styles | Prompted per video | 8 ready-made motion styles, or your own brand style |
| Price | Included with Team or Enterprise seats | $19.9 or $49.9 a month, on top of the agent you already pay for |
Plan availability for Anthropic's feature is as reported at its beta launch on 8 October 2026 and can change. Check Anthropic's pricing page for the current state.
Motion styles
Eight looks, each with its own motion rules
Every style is a short spec your agent follows: colours, type, layout and how things move. Hover a card to see it shift.

Why code, not generated video
Your numbers stay your numbers
Editable to the last frame
The video is an HTML file with a timeline. Change a word, a number or a duration and render again.
Nothing leaves your computer
The agent reads your file locally and the render runs locally. We only check your licence key.
Same input, same video
Rendered frame by frame with headless Chrome and FFmpeg, so a re-render matches the last one.
Charts from real values
The skill tells the agent to use the source's figures exactly and never fill a chart with invented data.
Landscape or vertical
1920×1080 by default; ask for 1080×1920 and layouts restack for short-form.
No credits, no queue
Render as many videos as your machine can handle. There is no watermark.

FAQ
Questions people ask first
Is this the official Claude Motion?
No. Motion is a beta feature Anthropic ships inside Claude for Team and Enterprise workspaces. MotionKit is a separate, independent skill pack that gives a coding agent the same kind of ability. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Can I use Claude Motion on a Pro, Max or Free plan?
Anthropic's built-in Motion was announced for Team and Enterprise only. If you are on Pro or Max you already have Claude Code, and MotionKit adds document-to-motion there. On the Free plan you can use the pack with Codex or Cursor instead.
What do I actually get when I pay?
A licence key by email and one install command. It adds a skill to your agent with a document-to-video workflow, 8 motion styles, a starter composition that passes HyperFrames checks, and the rules that keep renders correct. You keep every video and its source.
Does my document get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your agent reads the file locally and HyperFrames renders locally with headless Chrome and FFmpeg. Our server only checks your licence key and sends the skill files.
What do I need installed?
A coding agent (Claude Code, Codex or Cursor), Node.js 22 or newer, and FFmpeg for MP4 export. The first render downloads HyperFrames through npx.
Does it use my Claude usage?
Yes. The agent writes the animation code, so it uses your normal agent usage the same way any coding task does. We do not sell credits and there is no render quota.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time from the link in your receipt. The pack keeps working until the end of the paid month; after that the installer stops delivering updates. Videos you already made are yours.
What is HyperFrames?
An open-source HTML-to-video framework by HeyGen (Apache-2.0). MotionKit builds on it and is not affiliated with HeyGen.
