Course: Introduction to Claude Code (Day 4 of 5) Time to complete: 30-40 minutes What you'll achieve: A custom animated video rendered as an MP4, built entirely through natural language prompts

What We're Building

Today you'll create a short animated video with:

• Animated text with typewriter or fade effects
• A professional gradient or solid color background
• Smooth transitions and timing
• Exportable as MP4, GIF, or WebM

This is perfect for product intros, social media content, or explainer videos.

What is Remotion?

Remotion lets you create videos using React code. Instead of dragging clips around in Premiere or After Effects, you write (or have Claude write) code that describes what should happen frame by frame.

Why this matters for founders:

• Programmatic generation - Create 100 personalized videos from a template
• Version control - Your videos are code, so they're trackable and editable
• No design skills needed - Claude handles the creative implementation

Prerequisites

• [ ] Claude Code installed and authenticated (Day 1)
• [ ] Node.js 18+ installed
