How to Create a Seamless Loop Video with Claude
Create a Seamless Loop Video with Claude and ToolRouter. Turn a short clip or still image into a perfectly looping ambient video for website backgrounds and digital displays.
Tool
Share your source image or clip and Claude will direct the loop — deciding which elements should animate, how much motion is appropriate, and how the loop point should be handled. Claude is best when the loop needs to feel intentional rather than mechanical, with subtle directorial control over what moves.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Short Film Maker tool:
- Share the source image or clip and describe the intended use: website hero, lobby screen, social story.
- Ask Claude to use `short-film-maker` with `seamless_loop` to generate the looping clip.
- Review the motion intensity and loop point — ask Claude to reduce motion if it is too distracting or extend the loop duration.
- Export the loop in the required format for your website, display system, or social platform.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Short Film Maker tool
Use short-film-maker with seamless_loop to turn this image of a forest path in morning mist into a subtle 6-second looping video for our website hero section. Keep the motion very gentle — light mist drift and slight foliage movement — nothing that would distract from the headline text placed over it.
Tips
- Specify the loop duration explicitly — a 4-second loop on a website feels alive, a 12-second loop is better for ambient screens.
- Ask Claude to keep motion in the background elements rather than the focal point if text will be overlaid.
- Describe the emotional quality of the motion — 'gentle', 'hypnotic', 'energetic' — rather than technical parameters.
