  1. 0:00Today, I'm going to show you one of the
  2. 0:01craziest ways to create viral animated
  3. 0:04videos using nothing but Claude. And
  4. 0:06when I say nothing, I mean it. No video
  5. 0:08generators, no Blender, and absolutely
  6. 0:11no CapCut editing. And trust me, when
  7. 0:13you see the results, you're probably
  8. 0:15going to think I spent hours animating
  9. 0:17everything manually. But nope, Claude
  10. 0:19does almost all the heavy lifting. So, a
  11. 0:22few days ago, I came across this channel
  12. 0:24called Ricky Clips. And honestly, the
  13. 0:26numbers are insane. Look at this. Their
  14. 0:28most popular video has over 31 million
  15. 0:31views. The next one has 16 million, and
  16. 0:34even their latest uploads are pulling
  17. 0:36millions of views. One video posted just
  18. 0:38yesterday already has 14 million views.
  19. 0:41That's not normal. These videos are
  20. 0:43literally blowing up everywhere. Now,
  21. 0:45look closely at the animation style. You
  22. 0:47might think someone created all of this
  23. 0:49using Blender or some expensive
  24. 0:51animation software. But here's the
  25. 0:53interesting part. You can create videos
  26. 0:55like these using just Claude, and I'm
  27. 0:57going to show you exactly how. I
  28. 0:58actually searched the internet to figure
  29. 1:00out how people were making these videos.
  30. 1:02Unfortunately, I couldn't find a simple
  31. 1:04tutorial that explained the entire
  32. 1:06process. The closest thing I found was a
  33. 1:08creator called Mr. Omni, who made a
  34. 1:11video over 10 minutes long explaining
  35. 1:13his method and how he trained Claude to
  36. 1:15create these animations. But honestly,
  37. 1:17his workflow was way too complicated for
  38. 1:20what I wanted. I wanted something so
  39. 1:21simple that literally anyone could
  40. 1:23follow it, even a 10-year-old. So, I
  41. 1:25started experimenting. I generated
  42. 1:27different ideas, created multiple skill
  43. 1:30files, tested them, improved them, and
  44. 1:32kept making adjustments until I finally
  45. 1:34found a workflow that actually worked.
  46. 1:36And this is what I managed to create
  47. 1:37using only Claude. Now, before we jump
  48. 1:40into the tutorial, there's one thing you
  49. 1:42need. It's a special Claude skill file
  50. 1:44that I've already created for you. You
  51. 1:46can download it completely free using
  52. 1:48the link in the description. And if you
  53. 1:50enjoy discovering crazy AI tricks like
  54. 1:52this, do me a favor, smash that like
  55. 1:55button, and subscribe. Seriously, it
  56. 1:57takes 1 second, it's free, and it helps
  57. 1:59me bring you more tutorials like this.
  58. 2:01All right, let's get into it. Step one,
  59. 2:04install the Claude skill. First, open
  60. 2:06Claude and click on customize. Once
  61. 2:08you're there, find the skills section
  62. 2:10and click on add skill. Then select the
  63. 2:12option to upload a skill. Now download
  64. 2:15the skill file from the link in my
  65. 2:16description and upload it right here.
  66. 2:18Once the upload is complete, save the
  67. 2:20skill and make sure it's ready to use
  68. 2:22next time. That's it. You've installed
  69. 2:24everything you need. No complicated
  70. 2:26setup, no coding, and no need to build
  71. 2:28anything yourself. Step two, start
  72. 2:31creating your animated video. Now go
  73. 2:33back to the Claude homepage. To use our
  74. 2:35new skill, click the plus button and
  75. 2:37select the skill called cartoon audio
  76. 2:39short. You don't need to change anything
  77. 2:41or write some complicated prompt. Just
  78. 2:43activate the skill and submit it. Claude
  79. 2:45will now guide you through the entire
  80. 2:47process. First, it will ask you
  81. 2:49something important. Where are we
  82. 2:50starting from? Do you already have audio
  83. 2:53that you want to turn into an animation,
  84. 2:55or do you want to create everything from
  85. 2:56scratch? If you don't have anything
  86. 2:58prepared, simply select I need ideas and
  87. 3:01script. This is perfect because Claude
  88. 3:03will help you come up with the idea,
  89. 3:04write the script, and prepare everything
  90. 3:06for the animation. Next, Claude will ask
  91. 3:09how long you want your video to be. For
  92. 3:11this tutorial, I'm going with the 20 to
  93. 3:1330-second option. Sometimes the final
  94. 3:15video might be a little longer. Step
  95. 3:17three, choose a viral story idea. Now
  96. 3:20comes the fun part. Claude will generate
  97. 3:2210 different original story ideas that
  98. 3:24are suitable for animated videos, and
  99. 3:26honestly, some of these ideas are really
  100. 3:29interesting. They're the kind of stories
  101. 3:30that make someone stop scrolling because
  102. 3:32they immediately want to know what
  103. 3:34happens next. You can choose whichever
  104. 3:36one you like. For this demonstration,
  105. 3:38I'm going with the first idea, The Man
  106. 3:40Who Sold the Eiffel Tower Twice. Yes,
  107. 3:43someone actually pulled off a scam like
  108. 3:45this in real life, and that's exactly
  109. 3:47the kind of crazy historical story that
  110. 3:49makes people want to watch until the
  111. 3:50end. Once you've selected your idea,
  112. 3:52simply type in its number and submit it.
  113. 3:54Claude will now generate the complete
  114. 3:56voice-over script for your video. And
  115. 3:58this is where the skill becomes really
  116. 4:00useful. The script is structured around
  117. 4:02the storytelling style we've been trying
  118. 4:04to recreate with a strong opening hook,
  119. 4:06interesting developments, and a
  120. 4:08satisfying ending. You can review the
  121. 4:10script, make any changes you want, or
  122. 4:12simply copy it if you're happy with the
  123. 4:14result. Step four, generate your voice
  124. 4:16over. Now we need a voice. Copy the
  125. 4:18complete script and head over to 11Labs
  126. 4:21to generate your voice over. You can use
  127. 4:23other AI voice generators, too,
  128. 4:25including free alternatives, but
  129. 4:27personally, 11Labs is one of my favorite
  130. 4:29options because it produces really
  131. 4:31natural-sounding voices. Paste your
  132. 4:33script, choose a voice that matches your
  133. 4:35storytelling style, and generate the
  134. 4:37audio. Once it's ready, download the
  135. 4:39audio file to your device. And that's it
  136. 4:42for the voice over. Step five, let
  137. 4:44Claude create the entire animation. Now
  138. 4:46we're finally getting to the most
  139. 4:48interesting part. Go back to Claude
  140. 4:50where we left off and upload the voice
  141. 4:52over audio file you just downloaded.
  142. 4:54This is the final element Claude needs
  143. 4:56to start creating your animated video.
  144. 4:58Once the audio is uploaded, simply
  145. 5:00submit it and let the skill handle the
  146. 5:02rest. Now, I won't lie, this part
  147. 5:04requires some patience. Claude needs
  148. 5:06time to process the audio, generate the
  149. 5:09animation, create all the visual frames,
  150. 5:11and put everything together. For my
  151. 5:13test, the entire process took
  152. 5:15approximately 30 minutes. So don't panic
  153. 5:17if it doesn't finish immediately. Just
  154. 5:19let it work. You can actually see the
  155. 5:21generated frames before the final result
  156. 5:23is ready. In my case, Claude rendered
  157. 5:26approximately 1,000 frames, which is why
  158. 5:28the process takes some time. But after
  159. 5:31everything is processed, it combines the
  160. 5:33animation with your voice over and gives
  161. 5:35you the final MP4 video. Here's the
  162. 5:37final result. A man sold the Eiffel
  163. 5:39Tower, [music] then he sold it again.
  164. 5:41Paris, 1925. Victor Lustig read that the
  165. 5:45tower [music] needed costly repairs, so
  166. 5:47he forged government papers and invited
  167. 5:49six [music] scrap dealers to a luxury
  168. 5:51hotel. The city, he whispered, is
  169. 5:53selling it for scrap. 7,000 [music] tons
  170. 5:56of iron. Top secret. One dealer paid,
  171. 5:59plus a fat bribe. Lustig vanished with
  172. 6:01the cash, but the buyer was [music] too
  173. 6:03embarrassed to tell the police. After
  174. 6:06all, who admits they bought the Eiffel
  175. 6:08Tower? So, a month later, Lustig came
  176. 6:10back and sold it again. Honestly, this
  177. 6:13is pretty crazy when you consider that
  178. 6:15the entire workflow started with one
  179. 6:17simple Claude skill. You just download
  180. 6:19the finished video and it's ready to
  181. 6:21upload to your YouTube channel or other
  182. 6:23social media platforms. And that's
  183. 6:25basically the whole process. You can
  184. 6:26repeat this every single day. Just come
  185. 6:29back to Claude, generate a new story,
  186. 6:31create your voiceover using Eleven Labs,
  187. 6:33upload the audio, and let Claude
  188. 6:35generate the complete animated video
  189. 6:37using the free skill I'm giving you in
  190. 6:39the description. Now, one important
  191. 6:41thing I haven't fully tested yet is
  192. 6:43whether this entire workflow works
  193. 6:45reliably with Claude's free plan. It's
  194. 6:47possible that you might run out of
  195. 6:48credits during the process and have to
  196. 6:50wait around 5 hours before you can
  197. 6:52continue. But don't worry, I'm going to
  198. 6:54test this properly and make another
  199. 6:56tutorial showing you how to do it using
  200. 6:58the free version of Claude, so you don't
  201. 7:00have to pay for anything. So, if you
  202. 7:02want me to make that tutorial about
  203. 7:04this, let me know in the comments. And
