The prompt

Type your own words into the fields: the [BLANKS] fill in as you go. Copy it and send it to Claude or ChatGPT with Cut Express connected.

Fill in

Empty fields stay as [brackets] in the copy.

Prompt

Make a [LENGTH IN SECONDS]-second 9:16 motion graphics video about [TOPIC]. Animated scenes only, no footage, built from the assets motion recipes (adapt them, don't copy them as-is). Brand: [BRAND COLORS], thin borders, no shadows. A bold sans for titles, a mono font for labels.

Beats:
- Kinetic title "[HOOK LINE]".
- A bar chart of [YOUR DATA], bars growing one by one with their labels.
- A counter rolling up to [THE BIG NUMBER].
- A checklist ticking three items: [THREE ITEMS].
- End card: "[CALL TO ACTION]".

Sound: a whoosh on each scene change, a pop on each bar and tick (built-in sound effects). Keep every text inside the safe area. Show me the timeline before you render.

The blanks

[LENGTH IN SECONDS]
How long the finished video runs, as a number of seconds. Reels and Shorts hold best between 15 and 60.
[TOPIC]
What the video is about, in one sentence.
[BRAND COLORS]
Your colors as hex codes with their roles, for example "background #0B0B0A, accent #FFD23F".
[HOOK LINE]
The first words on screen, the reason to keep watching, in under ten words.
[YOUR DATA]
The numbers with their labels, for example "views per day: Mon 1,200, Tue 3,400, Wed 2,900".
[THE BIG NUMBER]
The one number to land on, with what it counts.
[THREE ITEMS]
Three short items, a few words each.
[CALL TO ACTION]
What the viewer should do at the end, in the words to show, for example "Try it free at lumen.app".

Tips

  • Paste the real numbers. Your AI draws exactly what you give it and never makes data up.
  • One idea per scene. A chart and a counter on the same screen fight for the eye.

The real render behind this prompt

This prompt was written from one we used to make a video for this site. Here is that video and the exact prompt that made it.

The exact prompt
Make a 15-second 9:16 motion graphics video about Cut Express motion graphics: animated videos you make just by chatting. Animated scenes only, no footage, built from the assets motion recipes (adapt them, don't copy them as-is). Brand: background #0B0B0A, Cut yellow #FFD23F, Playhead violet #9D8CFF, thin borders #3A372C, no shadows, no emoji. A bold sans for titles, a mono font for labels.

Beats:
0–2.5 s: kinetic title "Motion graphics." then "by chatting." slams in under it in yellow (impact_word style).
2.5–5 s: a chat bubble types "a bar chart of my views, then a price tag". A violet cursor blinks at the end.
5–9 s: the answer builds itself on screen, one recipe after another, each snapping in on a beat: a bar chart whose bars grow (labels Mon–Fri), a counter rolling from 0 to 12,480, and a checklist ticking three items ("titles", "charts", "end cards").
9–12 s: a price tag swings in and a small mono label at the bottom reads "20 recipes · HTML + GSAP · rendered to MP4".
12–15 s: end card: "Vector videos, no timeline." and the cut.express wordmark, with "Start your 7-day free trial" in small text.

Sound: a whoosh on each scene change, a pop on each bar and checklist tick, a coin sound on the price tag (built-in sfx). Keep each animation scene under 20 s and every text inside x 0.08, w 0.84. Show me the timeline before you render.

Paste it in Claude. Get the MP4.

Kinetic Text on a Voice-Over

Words that animate in exactly when they're said, over a voice-over.

Upload: Your own voice recording, or nothing (the voice can be made from your script).

Make a [LENGTH IN SECONDS]-second 9:16 kinetic typography video. The voice: [MY RECORDING OR A MADE VOICE]. The script:
"[SCRIPT]"

- Animated scenes only, on [BRAND COLORS]. Big bold type, one short phrase on screen at a time.
- Cue every phrase on the spoken words (words: true), so each one lands on the syllable, not before.
- The words [KEY WORDS] get the accent color and a bigger, harder entrance; the rest slide up softly.
- A subtle whoosh between phrases, an impact on the last key word.

Upload: Your logo or product images, if the piece uses them.

I want a motion piece: a [LENGTH IN SECONDS]-second [KIND OF PIECE] for [YOUR PRODUCT]. Start with brief and ask me only what's missing.

What I know: it's for [AUDIENCE], it should feel [TONE], the story is [THE STORY IN ONE LINE]. Brand: [BRAND COLORS]. References I like: [REFERENCES].

Follow the motion method: script first for my approval, then the storyboard, then a design board image I approve, then the scenes with previews (show me the contact sheet of each few seconds before moving on). Render only when I say the previews are right, then run the check.
