Can Claude make videos?
Seedance 2 team · Updated
Not by itself: Claude writes text and code and does not output video files. To make videos in Claude, connect a video MCP server such as Seedance 2 (https://www.seedance2.net/mcp); Claude then generates Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 clips on your Seedance 2 account and returns them in the chat.
Steps
- In Claude (web, desktop or mobile), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Seedance 2 and paste the server URL: https://www.seedance2.net/mcp
- Click Connect, sign in with your Seedance 2 account and approve the connection. New accounts get free credits, no card needed.
- Start a new chat and ask for a video, naming the model, for example "Use Seedance 2 to make a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip of…".
What it costs
Seedance 2.5: 28 credits for a 5-second 480p clip. Seedance 2.0: 19 credits for a 5-second 480p clip. New accounts get free credits, no card needed.
