AI Animation in 5 Steps β€” No Editing Software Needed

No timelines. No keyframes. No Premiere. Just prompts and clicks.

πŸ“₯ Download the file first β€” attached below this page It includes the Claude skill + both prompt templates. Everything you need is in there. Don't skip this.

πŸ’‘ You don't write the prompts yourself Once you load the Claude skill from the download, Claude generates both prompts for you automatically β€” the image prompt AND the video prompt. Just copy and paste when ready.

βœ… Step 1 β€” Think of Your Animation Idea

Just a simple idea. Don't overthink it.

  • 🌊 A wave crashing in slow motion, painted in watercolor style
  • πŸ€– A futuristic robot walking through a neon city at night
  • 🌸 A cherry blossom tree losing its petals in the wind
  • 🦁 A lion emerging from golden fog, cinematic and dramatic

Write it in one sentence. That's all you need.

βœ… Step 2 β€” Load the Claude Skill + Get Your Prompts

  • Open Claude
  • Load the skill from your downloaded file
  • Describe your idea in plain language

Claude gives you 2 things automatically:

  • πŸ“Œ Image Prompt β†’ paste this into GPT-Image-2
  • πŸ“Œ Video Prompt β†’ save this for Seedance 2.0 later

Copy both. Keep them open in a tab.

βœ… Step 3 β€” Generate Your First Image in GPT-Image-2

  • Open ChatGPT β†’ select GPT-Image-2
  • Paste your image prompt
  • Review the results and download the best one

Quick checks before downloading:

  • βœ” Subject is clear and sharp
  • βœ” Style matches your idea
  • βœ” Composition looks balanced

Not perfect? Run it again β€” small variations help.

βœ… Step 4 β€” Upload That Image Back Into GPT-Image-2

This is the secret step most people skip.

  • Upload the image you just downloaded back into ChatGPT
  • Use the second prompt from your Claude skill output
  • Download the refined result

You now have 2 images β€” your original + the refined version. Keep both. You'll need both for the next step.

βœ… Step 5 β€” Animate in Seedance 2.0

  • Open Insmine (or any tool with Seedance 2.0)
  • Upload both images
  • Paste your video prompt from Step 2
  • Set mode to Start/End Frame
  • Hit Run ▢️

Your animation generates automatically. No editing required.

βœ… Step 6 β€” Download & Done

That's it. Your animation is ready.
