Summary
The AI Advantage’s Igor explains how his team produces the polished animations that appear throughout their videos, using a repeatable workflow built around Claude and a couple of supporting tools. The team publishes several videos a week, and he says this process is what keeps the animation quality high.
The process begins with recording camera and screen footage on a MacBook Pro or a Mac Mini setup. The files sync through Dropbox to the editors, who export an MP3 and upload it to ChatGPT to produce an SRT transcript with timestamps. That transcript goes into Claude Design along with a dedicated animation prompt that requests 16:9 graphics with more motion and less text, plus attached logos and interface screenshots so the visuals stay accurate.
Igor recommends running Opus 5.5 with thinking set to extra or max, noting that results are significantly better than at medium. Generation takes roughly 30 minutes to two hours, and the model sometimes stalls without saying so and needs a nudge to continue. The team reviews the output with the narration, requests fixes, and then adds the animations to the edit as an extra layer of B-roll.
