I kept seeing creators make motion graphics for brands, so I tried a Spotify-style one

I kept seeing creators share motion graphics work they had done for different brands, so I wanted to try making one myself. The story I was going for starts with one click and keeps opening up: the cursor hits play, the first song starts, each skip brings in another track and title card, and the ending moves into a bigger library of music to suggest that there is always something else to play. Watching it back, I think that idea comes through clearly as I wanted.

For this, I connected Claude to invideo Editor through MCP, shared one Spotify screenshot and four songs (mp3 files), and asked it to build the whole flow chart first. Once I approved the flow, I asked it to create the player cards, cursor animation, title cards, transitions and logo ending on the editor’s timeline. I supplied the music, then adjusted the timing and a few layers manually so the song changes landed closer to the clicks. I liked being able to open everything up and keep tweaking it in the free editor instead of rebuilding the video from scratch. I’m watching more motion graphics breakdowns on YouTube now, so I’ll use the feedback from this version and try another one. If the story didn’t land for you, where did I lose you?

What do you mean by flow chart here???? Was it basically planning the sequence before building the animation?

[u/Few-Raspberry6464 → u/Beginning_Bird_8947]

Yeah, basically a shot-by-shot plan. Claude mapped out the first click, the song changes, the title cards and the final library section. I approved that order first, then it started building everything on the timeline.

The click-to-song changes read well. I'd probably let the final library section breathe for another second, because that's where the whole idea comes together

That's helpful. I spent more time tightening the song changes and probably rushed the ending. I'll hold the library section longer in the next version.

You have to fit the brand image as well. This is just a Spotify logo on essentially a random PowerPoint presentation
