Chat Thread

A real conversation plays out, and the message that matters lands last.

How it works

  1. 1Copy the install prompt and paste it into your agent.
  2. 2Your agent runs mo doctor to check Node.js, FFmpeg and Chrome, and tells you how to install anything missing.
  3. 3Give it your material. It renders an MP4 on your computer, and you ask for changes in plain words.

Install Chat Thread

Paste one sentence into your AI agent: it reads the install guide, installs it, and makes a first film with it.

Say to your agent

Read https://claude-motion.com/skills/chat-thread/install.md and follow it to install the "chat-thread" skill, then make a first video with it.

Works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any agent that reads Agent Skills. The first install signs you in through the browser.

Paste into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent that supports skills.

All it takes

No API key

This is all it needs

  • A document, article or script

Dependencies

Node.js 22+, FFmpeg, Chrome. No API keys.

Before it starts, your agent runs mo doctor to check Node.js, FFmpeg and Chrome and tells you how to install anything missing; if this skill needs more (such as whisper for captions), its instructions say so.

Example prompt
Make a chat-thread clip of this support exchange (we have the customer's permission), ending on our answer, in 9:16 for Reels.
Style prompt (Claude Motion or Opus 5.5)
Make an 8-second 16:9 chat scene for [who will watch, e.g. teams who'd use our product], playing [where, e.g. X and LinkedIn]. Use only the channel name and messages below, in order. A generic chat window, not any real app's design. Off-white background.

A white rounded window with the channel header fades up. Messages play out one by one, each preceded by a gray bubble with three bouncing typing dots: the other person on the left in gray bubbles, the replies on the right in orange bubbles. End frame: the full thread, held for 1.5 seconds.

Channel: [e.g. "#launch"]
Messages: [name and line, 4 messages] (e.g. Maya: "Can we get a launch video by Friday?" / Reply: "Already rendering it 🎬")

Nothing to install: paste this into Claude Motion (Team or Enterprise) or give it to Opus 5.5 for a similar look. The result changes from run to run; the skill works from your own material and renders on your computer.
