Ziztu for Claude
Make reels and YouTube films by talking to Claude
Add Ziztu to Claude. Claude writes the plan and the script. Ziztu makes the pictures, the motion, the voices and the music. It cuts them into the finished video on its own servers and shows every price first.
Reels and YouTube films, step by step: read the guide.
How it works
Three steps, and you are directing
Step 1
Get All access
Reels and YouTube films made through Claude are part of Ziztu All access. Your credits come from the plan, and every step that spends credits shows its price first.
Step 2
Connect Claude
In Claude Code, run the three commands below. The last one signs you in to both Ziztu connectors in your browser and checks that they answer.
Step 3
Ask Claude
Say what you want to make. Claude writes the plan and the script and shows them to you first. You say yes or ask for changes. Then Claude tells you each price, and Ziztu makes the pictures, the motion, the voices and the music on its own servers.

What it adds
Claude by itself, and Claude with Ziztu
Claude is a very good director and writer. It cannot make a video on its own. Ziztu is the studio it directs.
| Claude by itself | Claude with Ziztu | |
|---|---|---|
| The idea and the script | Writes them well, as text. | Still writes every word. For a reel it puts them on a scene board with timing and sends the board to Ziztu exactly as written, free. You change any line in plain words. |
| Pictures | Cannot make video frames. | Makes the picture of every scene. You look at each one before paying for motion, and redo a single scene. |
| Voice | Cannot record a voice. | Records the lines in a voice and a delivery you pick. |
| Music | Cannot make a music track. | Adds music in a mood that fits the story. |
| The finished video | Cannot cut a video file. | Cuts the reel or film with captions into a finished video you can watch and download. |
| One look from start to end | No pictures to keep consistent. | One look and the same people across every picture, chosen from a catalogue. |
| What it costs | Makes no video, so there is nothing to price. | Every paid step shows its price first, and has a cap you set. |
What to ask
Say it the way you would to an editor
Click a prompt to copy it, then paste it into Claude. Change the topic to yours.
- ReelA reel from an idea
Plan a 30 second reel about why an octopus has three hearts. Write the whole board yourself, show it to me, and tell me the price to make it before you make anything.
- ReelA reel built like one you saw
Read this reel and tell me how it is made: (paste the reel link here). Then plan my own reel about how honey is made in that structure, with my own words.
- ReelA reel in a proven format
Show me the ready-made reel formats and pick the best one for "what is really inside a hairdryer". Start the reel, then write the board in that format and show it to me.
- ReelFix one scene
Scene 3 of my reel looks flat. Redo it with the camera lower and harsher light, only the fox in frame. Show me the price first.
- FilmA YouTube film from a topic
Make a 6 minute YouTube film about the history of salt roads. Research it and write the whole script yourself, show it to me, and only then start the film and plan the chapters.
- FilmA film from your own script
Here is my script, narrate it exactly as I wrote it and do not rewrite it: (paste your script here, up to 5,000 words). Plan the chapters and put my words into them.
- FilmLook before motion
Make the narration and the pictures for my film. Show me every picture and redraw any that is off before we make any motion.
- FilmThe listing
Write the title options, the description opening, the tags and the pinned comment for my film, then give me the finished video to download.

Frequently asked questions
Does it run on my computer?
No. Claude writes the plan and the script, and Ziztu makes the pictures, the motion, the voices, the music and the cut on its own servers. Nothing is rendered on your computer, and the plugin runs no program there. It is a few instruction files and the two connector addresses.
Which Claude can I use?
Claude Code takes the three commands above. Claude on the desktop and on claude.ai can use the same two Ziztu connectors when your Claude plan lets you add a connector; the guide shows both addresses.
Do I need the Max plan of Claude?
No. Any Claude plan that can install a plugin or add a connector will do. The making is done by Ziztu, not by your Claude plan.
What does it cost?
Claude writing the plan and the script uses your Claude plan, not Ziztu credits. Ziztu's credits go to the pictures, the motion, the voices, the music and the cut, and a small price for a film's plan and story check. Every step that spends credits shows its price first, and Claude cannot go over the cap it sets for that step. A big step asks for a second yes. The plans are on the pricing page.
Is my script kept private?
Your script and your reels and films are saved in your Ziztu account so you can carry on later. They are not posted anywhere, and you can delete any reel or film, with everything made for it, from Claude or from your account.
Can I use it with the Starter plan?
No. Reels and YouTube films through Claude are for All access only. Starter keeps the Ziztu website tools. If you connect without All access, the connector tells you "This needs All access." and nothing is spent.
Make your first reel with Claude.
Three commands, then ask. Every price is shown first.
