Animated story videos, made by Claude
Describe a story. Claude draws the characters, rigs them as cut-out puppets, animates every scene in the Wallu Pro Editor and adds the voice, music and sound. You watch it build live and can change anything.
Watch: The Ancient Story of Alexander's Near-Fatal Wound, Animated (5:42), animated by Claude in the Wallu Pro Editor.
Scene by scene
The siege of a Malli town in 326 BC, told the way history channels tell it: a climb up the wall, a jump into the town, an arrow through the breastplate and a ride down the river to show the army he lives. Nine narrated scenes; every character, background, label and camera move is a clip in the Pro Editor.
How Claude makes one
- The story and the voice. Claude writes the script scene by scene and puts the narration on the timeline. Every move after that is timed to the words.
- Characters with moving parts. Each character is drawn in parts (head, body, arms, legs, a sword) with Wallu's image generator, the same face from scene to scene, and the parts hang from each other at the joints.
- Painted scenes, labels and bubbles. Backgrounds, maps and props are drawn to match; title cards, name labels and speech bubbles go on in the video's own style.
- Animation and camera. Every move is keyframed with easing, with slow push-ins and pans; idle loops add breathing and blinking.
- Sound, then a check. Music under the voice, a sound effect on each cut, levelled to one loudness. Claude looks at its own frames and listens to the mix before it calls a scene done.

Optional: Claude Code for effect layers it renders on your computer, and Blender (free) for 3D sets.
Questions
Do I need to know animation?
No. You describe the story and Claude does the drawing, rigging, timing and sound. It is a normal timeline in the Wallu Pro Editor, and every edit Claude makes is one undo step.
Can I change what Claude made?
Yes. Ask Claude or edit by hand: move clips, change timing, replace a picture.
Does it only do history?
No. The same tools animate any story: explainers, product stories, kids' stories, biographies, news recaps, in 16:9 or vertical 9:16.
Can I post it straight away?
Yes. Export it, or publish from the Pro Editor to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
