Video generation
Claude doesn’t output video on any plan. Install Creative Claw and Claude generates video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni and MiniMax H3 Max, adds a voiceover in your own voice, and captions it, in the same chat. 100 free credits; a 5-second clip starts at $0.33.
Open Creative Claw in Claude's plugin directory and click Add. Connect on the plugin's Connectors tab, then sign in with Google. For Claude Code, use the same plugin directory installation, then run /reload-plugins in Claude Code. In ChatGPT, install Creative Claw from Plugins.
“6-second product orbit, warm rim light, 9:16.” Name Gemini Omni Flash or let Claude pick. The job is async; Claude polls and the file comes back in the thread, usually in 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Run the same brief on Seedance 2.5 or MiniMax H3 Max, keep the winner, add a voiceover and captions, then restyle, extend, or animate an approved still without leaving Claude.
Start with Gemini Omni Flash. Switch when the brief needs it. Credits: $10 = 1,000.

Not on its own. Claude is a text and code model and does not output video files on any plan. Add the Creative Claw plugin or connector and Claude can generate video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3 Max, Kling and more, then show the clip in the chat. A 5-second clip starts at 33 credits ($0.33) with Wan 3.0 at 480p.
No. Claude has no built-in video generator. Video generation in Claude comes from connectors and plugins, such as Creative Claw, that call video models and return the finished file to the conversation.
Open the Creative Claw listing in Claude's plugin directory (Customize → Plugins, then search for Creative Claw) and click Add. Connect on the plugin's Connectors tab, then sign in with Google. Then ask Claude for a video. No API keys. For Claude Code, use the same plugin directory installation, connect on the plugin's Connectors tab, then run /reload-plugins in Claude Code.
Any current Claude model can drive video generation, because Claude writes the prompt and plans the shots while the video model renders. The choice that changes the result is the video model: Gemini Omni Flash for everyday clips with sound, Seedance 2.5 for premium fidelity, and MiniMax H3 Max for up to 15 seconds with several scenes in one generation.
Creative Claw gives every new account 100 free credits with no card, enough for two 5-second MiniMax H3 Max Fast clips. After that, $10 buys 1,000 credits with no subscription.
Claude Pro does not generate video by itself, but you can add Creative Claw on Claude web and Desktop wherever your plan allows plugins or custom connectors. Video costs are charged in Creative Claw credits, separate from your Claude plan.
A 5-second clip costs 40 credits ($0.40) with MiniMax H3 Max Fast, 75 credits ($0.75) with Gemini Omni Flash at 720p, and 267 credits ($2.67) with Seedance 2.5 at 720p. A 15-second multi-scene MiniMax H3 Max clip at 1080p is 480 credits. To save on Seedance 2.5, preview takes as 480p drafts first. $10 = 1,000 credits; estimate any video with the AI video cost calculator.
Yes. Creative Claw generates narration with ElevenLabs or Cartesia, including a clone of your own voice, and adds word-timed captions, all in the same Claude conversation. A 10–15 second voiceover costs about 4 credits.
Yes. Creative Claw includes Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0. A 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip costs 119 credits at 480p, 267 at 720p, and 657 at 1080p. Seedance 2.5 drafts let you preview a take at 480p and render the same take at 1080p only if it works. See the Seedance in Claude page for setup and prompts.
Same job, different product. Both give Claude video models over MCP. Creative Claw is pay-as-you-go with no subscription, includes voice cloning and captions, and uses the same credits in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and OpenClaw. Full comparison: /vs/higgsfield/.
100 free credits. No card. Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni and MiniMax H3 Max are ready after one install.
