I Tried Making a Viral Video Using ONLY Claude AI – Transcript

00:00Today, I'm going to show you one of the craziest ways to create viral animated videos using nothing but Claude. And when I say nothing, I mean it. No video generators, no Blender, and absolutely no CapCut editing. And trust me, when you see the results, you're probably going to think I spent hours animating everything manually. But nope, Claude does almost all the heavy lifting. So, a few days ago, I came across this channel called Ricky Clips. And honestly, the

00:26numbers are insane. Look at this. Their most popular video has over 31 million views. The next one has 16 million, and even their latest uploads are pulling millions of views. One video posted just yesterday already has 14 million views.

00:41That's not normal. These videos are literally blowing up everywhere. Now, look closely at the animation style. You might think someone created all of this using Blender or some expensive animation software. But here's the interesting part. You can create videos like these using just Claude, and I'm going to show you exactly how. I actually searched the internet to figure out how people were making these videos.

01:02Unfortunately, I couldn't find a simple tutorial that explained the entire process. The closest thing I found was a creator called Mr. Omni, who made a video over 10 minutes long explaining his method and how he trained Claude to create these animations. But honestly, his workflow was way too complicated for what I wanted. I wanted something so simple that literally anyone could follow it. Even a 10-year-old. So, I started experimenting. I generated different ideas, created multiple skill

01:30files, tested them, improved them, and kept making adjustments until I finally found a workflow that actually worked. And this is what I managed to create using only Claude. Now, before we jump into the tutorial, there's one thing you need. It's a special Claude skill file that I've already created for you. You can download it completely free using the link in the description. And if you enjoy discovering crazy AI tricks like this, do me a favor, smash that like button, and subscribe. Seriously, it

01:57takes 1 second, it's free, and it helps me bring you more tutorials like this. All right, let's get into it. Step one, install the Claude skill. First, open Claude and click on customize. Once you're there, find the skills section and click on add skill. Then select the option to upload a skill. Now download the skill file from the link in my description and upload it right here.

02:18Once the upload is complete, save the skill and make sure it's ready to use next time. That's it. You've installed everything you need. No complicated setup, no coding, and no need to build anything yourself. Step two, start creating your animated video. Now go back to the Claude homepage. To use our new skill, click the plus button and select the skill called cartoon audio short. You don't need to change anything or write some complicated prompt. Just activate the skill and submit it. Claude

02:45will now guide you through the entire process. First, it will ask you something important. Where are we starting from? Do you already have audio that you want to turn into an animation, or do you want to create everything from scratch? If you don't have anything prepared, simply select I need ideas and script. This is perfect because Claude will help you come up with the idea, write the script, and prepare everything for the animation. Next, Claude will ask how long you want your video to be. For this tutorial, I'm going with the 20 to

03:1330-second option. Sometimes the final video might be a little longer. Step three, choose a viral story idea. Now comes the fun part. Claude will generate 10 different original story ideas that are suitable for animated videos. And honestly, some of these ideas are really interesting. They're the kind of stories that make someone stop scrolling because they immediately want to know what happens next. You can choose whichever one you like. For this demonstration, I'm going with the first idea, The Man

03:40Who Sold the Eiffel Tower Twice. Yes, someone actually pulled off a scam like this in real life. And that's exactly the kind of crazy historical story that makes people want to watch until the end. Once you've selected your idea, simply type in its number and submit it.

03:54Claude will now generate the complete voice-over script for your video. And this is where the skill becomes really useful. The script is structured around the storytelling style we've been trying to recreate with a strong opening hook, interesting developments, and a satisfying ending. You can review the script, make any changes you want, or simply copy it if you're happy with the result. Step four, generate your voiceover. Now we need a voice. Copy the complete script and head over to 11Labs

04:21to generate your voiceover. You can use other AI voice generators, too, including free alternatives, but personally, 11Labs is one of my favorite options because it produces really natural-sounding voices. Paste your script, choose a voice that matches your storytelling style, and generate the audio. Once it's ready, download the audio file to your device. And that's it for the voiceover. Step five, let Claude create the entire animation. Now we're finally getting to the most interesting

04:48part. Go back to Claude where we left off and upload the voiceover audio file you just downloaded. This is the final element Claude needs to start creating your animated video. Once the audio is uploaded, simply submit it and let the skill handle the rest. Now, I won't lie, this part requires some patience. Claude needs time to process the audio, generate the animation, create all the visual frames, and put everything together. For my test, the entire

05:14process took approximately 30 minutes. So don't panic if it doesn't finish immediately. Just let it work. You can actually see the generated frames before the final result is ready. In my case, Claude rendered approximately 1,000 frames, which is why the process takes some time. But after everything is processed, it combines the animation with your voiceover and gives you the final MP4 video. Here's the final result. A man sold the Eiffel Tower,

05:40then he sold it again. Paris, 1925. Victor Lustig read that the tower needed costly repairs, so he forged government papers and invited six scrap dealers to a luxury hotel. The city, he whispered, is selling it for scrap. 7,000 tons of iron. Top secret. One dealer paid, plus a fat bribe. Lustig vanished with the cash, but the buyer was too embarrassed to tell the police. After all, who

06:06admits they bought the Eiffel Tower? So, a month later, Lustig came back and sold it again. Honestly, this is pretty crazy when you consider that the entire workflow started with one simple Claude skill. You just download the finished video and it's ready to upload to your YouTube channel or other social media platforms. And that's basically the whole process. You can repeat this every single day. Just come back to Claude, generate a new story, create your voiceover using 11 Labs, upload the

06:34audio, and let Claude generate the complete animated video using the free skill I'm giving you in the description. Now, one important thing I haven't fully tested yet is whether this entire workflow works reliably with Claude's free plan. It's possible that you might run out of credits during the process and have to wait around 5 hours before you can continue. But don't worry, I'm going to test this properly and make another tutorial showing you how to do it using the free version of Claude, so you don't have to pay for anything. So,
