Before you start
- Install the pluginIn the Claude desktop app: open Customize, then Plugins, then Add, then Upload plugin, and choose
faceless-video-studio.zip. That covers Cowork and the Code tab. In Claude Code in a terminal: unzip it, then runclaude plugin marketplace addon the folder andclaude plugin install faceless-video-studio@faceless-video-studio. - Install Node.jsFree, from nodejs.org. Choose the version marked LTS. If you already have it, or you use Cowork, skip this.
- Open Claude in a folder on your computerClaude Code, the Code tab of the Claude desktop app, or Cowork with a folder connected. The videos are made on your own computer, so Claude needs a folder to work in. In Cowork, files the studio no longer needs are moved to a
.trashfolder inside your studio, which you can delete whenever you like. Connect the same folder at the start of every new Cowork session: your brand, character, voice and videos are saved in it, and that is how Claude finds them again.
What setup does
- Makes your studio folderOne folder holding your brand, your character and every video. The first install takes a few minutes.
- Builds your brandPaste a link to your website, or share colours, fonts and a logo. You see a preview frame and say what to change.
- Draws your characterDescribe it in a sentence. You see its six expressions and say what to change.
- Chooses the voiceA free built-in voice works with no account. You listen to samples and pick one. Or use your own ElevenLabs or Higgsfield account for a more lifelike one.
- Renders a testA ten-second example in your brand, to prove everything works.
Then say things like
- "Make a video about three mistakes people make when repotting plants."
- "Turn this article into a 30-second video: (paste a link)"
- "Here's my script, use it word for word: ..."
- "Use these photos in it." (Attach them, paste links, or drop them in your studio's
imagesfolder.) - "Make an ad version with my call to action."
- "Scene 3 should show the price." "Make it shorter." "Change the voice."
Claude always shows you the script first. Nothing is built until you say yes.

Good to know
- Listen to every video. Claude cannot hear. If a name is said wrong, tell it, and it fixes that one line.
- Give it your facts. A link or notes. It is told not to make up numbers.
- Your finished videos are in the
outfolder inside your studio. - Videos are vertical (1080 by 1920), for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
- Use pictures, music and brands you have the rights to.
