28 Claude Code plugins for motion graphics and video rendering
Charlie Hills lists 28 tools that can be installed into Claude Code, covering three.js, GSAP, Remotion, HyperFrames and ffmpeg, so Opus and Sonnet 5.5 can produce motion graphics and MP4s directly.
Claude can (finally) generate motion graphics. 28 Claude Code installs that do the job: Access them all here → https://charliehills.substack.com/p/28-things-to-install-into-claude Opus and Sonnet 5.5 already make solid motion graphics (no add-ons). But these 28 push them a lot further. Engines (the code that makes things move): 1. three.js → Build 3D scenes, cameras and light. 2. anime.js → Animate text, shapes and SVG. 3. motion → Add smooth, springy motion to sites. 4. react-three-fiber → Build 3D scenes from React. 5. lottie-web → Play After Effects files on the web. 6. gsap → Time every move to the exact frame. Renderers (turn it all into a video file): 7. ffmpeg → Cut, join and convert any video. 8. remotion → Make MP4s with React 9. hyperframes → Turn an HTML page into an MP4. 10. manim → Animate maths and diagrams. 11. motion-canvas → Code explainers, live preview. 12. revideo → Render code-built video on a server. UI parts (ready-made pieces that move): 13. shadcn/ui → The base the kits below plug into. 14. react-bits → Add animated text and backgrounds. 15. magicui → Drop in animated landing page parts. 16. motion-primitives → Add moving text and UI. 17. magic-mcp → Build UI from a parts library. Sound (voice, music and captions): 18. whisper → Turn a voiceover into timed captions. 19. tone.js → Make music and sound in code. 20. wavesurfer.js → Draw moving audio waveforms. 21. elevenlabs/skills → Voice and SFX (account needed). Skills and MCPs (teach Claude the tools): 22. anthropics/skills → Add art, canvas and GIF skills. 23. mcp-for-blender → Let Claude drive Blender in 3D. 24. gsap-skills → Teach Claude correct GSAP. 25. remotion/skills → Teach Claude Remotion. 26. threejs-skills → Teach Claude Three.js scenes. 27. after-effects-mcp → Drive After Effects (paid). 28. motion-graphics-skills → My 13 motion skills.
