First project

From install to a delivered video, with a single command: /umd:go. Allow five minutes to get started, then the render time.

#1. Install

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add 1AngelMicka/ultimate-motion-design

/plugin install umd@ultimate-motion-design

Restart Claude Code (or type /reload-plugins), then open an empty folder for your project. The details, team install included, are on the Install page.

#2. Say what you want

/umd:go a 30-second launch video for our notes app, 16:9, understated tone

/umd:go sees there is no project yet and starts with the kickoff:

• it asks a few questions: audience, platforms, look described in words, voice-over and music, commercial use;
• it picks the profile (here promo), the route (html-video) and the engine, and says why;
• it checks the tools (FFmpeg, Playwright, Chromium) and offers to install what is missing;
• it writes BRIEF.md and .motion/project.json.

#3. Approve the look before anything moves

Type /umd:go again. It writes the storyboard: timed beats, one intent per beat, text that stays on screen long enough. Then it renders the key stills and has an "art director" agent review them, correcting over up to three rounds.

It then stops to show you the stills. If you like them, say so: it records the approval in the storyboard. Otherwise, say what is wrong.

#4. Let it build, render and check

/umd:go again. This time it chains on its own:

1. build: the piece beat by beat, with voice, music and captions if the brief asks for them, and quick drafts reviewed;
2. render: the final render, done twice to prove it is reproducible, then analysed;
3. audit: the automatic measures, then the auditors in parallel, and a score out of 10 in .motion/AUDIT.md;
4. fix if a blocker is still open, then a new render and a new audit.

It stops when only minor or major issues are left for you to decide on, or when everything is ready.

#5. Deliver

/umd:go offers delivery: the audited video goes to deliverables/ with its manifest and the required credits. Ask for platform versions if you need them (vertical, GIF, WebM for the web).

#Where to look

#Come back later

Close Claude Code whenever you like. When you come back, /umd:go reads the project's state and resumes at the right step. For a long break, /umd:handoff leaves a note that the next session reads first.
