How to make an advert with Claude and Yuumeh
Claude can't make video by itself, but it can run a studio that does. This guide takes you from nothing to a finished 15-second advert, directing everything from a Claude conversation.
What you need
- A Yuumeh account on any paid plan, from £14.99 a month.
- Claude on the web, desktop or phone, on a plan that allows custom connectors.
- Credits for the takes: a 15-second take at 720p with sound costs about £0.90 to £7.08.
- Connect Yuumeh to ClaudeIn Yuumeh's account menu, open Connectors and get your Claude link. In Claude, add a custom connector called Yuumeh and paste it. The Claude page has the detail.
- Ask for a plan, not a videoTell Claude what the advert is for and ask to see the plan and the price before anything is made. A request to try: "Open a new Yuumeh canvas called Bakery advert. Plan a 15-second vertical advert for a neighbourhood bakery opening at dawn: six shots, warm and unhurried. Show me the plan and the price first."
- Agree the lookAsk Claude for options for the baker and the shop. It makes a few pictures of each on your canvas. Pick the ones you like; they become the character and place every shot uses.
- Approve the priceClaude quotes the video in credits. Say yes, or ask for a cheaper model or a smaller size first.
- Watch the shots arriveClaude makes one step at a time and shows you each result. Tell it what to change in plain words: "closer on the hands", "slower", "less steam".
- Add music and cutAsk for a 15-second track and for the shots to be put on a reel. Claude trims them to fit and sets the music level.
- DownloadOpen the canvas in Yuumeh to watch the reel full screen and download the film.
Why work this way
- Your context comes along. Claude already knows your brand notes, your audience and last month's campaign if they're in your Claude project.
- You stay in one conversation. No model pickers, no settings panels.
- The canvas keeps everything. Every picture, take and plan is on your Yuumeh canvas, where you or a colleague can pick it up by hand.
Tips
- Ask Claude to call Yuumeh's
guideat the start of a conversation. It teaches Claude how Yuumeh works and how to write prompts as shot lists. - Say "one step at a time" if Claude tries to make everything at once.
- If a take is blocked by a model's safety filter, ask Claude to reword the prompt or try another model.
Questions
- Can I do this with Grok instead?
- Yes. The steps are the same with Grok's custom connectors. See Yuumeh for Grok.
- How long does it take?
- A picture takes seconds and a video take a few minutes. A 15-second advert with a couple of rounds of changes can be done in an afternoon, and most of that time is your own decisions.
- What if I don't use Claude?
- Yuumeh-chan, the AI producer built into Yuumeh, does the same job on the canvas itself. See the AI producer.
