Ultron turns a plain-English prompt into finished motion graphics, building animated charts, kinetic text, and bulk ad variants straight from code.

Here is the full setup for making videos with Ultron, plus the exact prompts. This is for code-based motion graphics (animated charts, text, ad variants), not for editing your talking-head footage.

What this actually is

Ultron makes videos out of code. It already writes code, so it can build the whole video from a plain-English prompt, and a live preview updates as it goes. Best for animated explainers, kinetic text, data charts, and bulk ad variants.

The setup in Ultron

1

Scaffold a project

Scaffold a project: create the video project, then run npm install.

2

Load the motion-graphics skill so

Load the motion-graphics skill so Ultron knows the framework.

3

Open the studio

Open the studio: npm run dev, which gives you a live preview at localhost:3000, preview on the left, timeline on the right.

4

Render to MP4 when it

1

Make a 15-second animated bar

"Make a 15-second animated bar chart of these 5 numbers in my brand colours: [paste numbers]."

2

Build a kinetic-text intro that

"Build a kinetic-text intro that types out my hook one line at a time, then drops my logo in at the end."

3

Take this spreadsheet and render

"Take this spreadsheet and render one personalised 10-second ad variant per row." This bulk render is the real superpower.

Good to know

It is motion graphics from code, so it does not cut or colour-grade live footage. Treat it as an asset and B-roll generator that sits alongside your editing, not a replacement. It runs inside Ultron on a free plan for individuals and small teams.

Proof

  • The motion-graphics framework docs

  • Bulk and data-driven render

  • Free for individuals

How to get the most out of it

Start with one simple animated chart so you see the prompt-to-preview loop, then graduate to bulk variants from a spreadsheet, which is where it saves real hours. Keep your brand colours and font in the prompt so everything comes out on-brand.

Run this on autopilot.

Everything in this guide becomes an agent inside Ultron: set it up once, keep it running. You review, it executes.
