# Make motion graphics for your video with ChatGPT

> Yes, through Tella. Connect ChatGPT in Tella under Settings → Connections → AI apps, then mention @Tella in a chat and describe the graphic, such as a title card, lower third, chart or animated text. ChatGPT builds it with Tella Motion as its own clip, as an overlay on your recording, or as b-roll in place of it. Claude works the same way.

## Can ChatGPT make motion graphics or animations for my video?

Yes, through Tella. Connect [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a7026f78434819186579d93d20ab38b?open_in_app) in Tella under [Settings → Connections](https://www.tella.tv/settings/connections) → AI apps, then mention @Tella in a chat and describe the graphic, such as a title card, lower third, chart or animated text. ChatGPT builds it with [Tella Motion](https://www.tella.com/help/editing/tella-motion) as its own clip, as an overlay on your recording, or as b-roll in place of it. [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/tella) works the same way.

## Prompt to start from

```text
@Tella In my video "Brightloom spring update", add a 5-second Tella Motion clip at the end: deep green #14532D background, "See you in June" in white bold sans-serif rising in word by word, and a thin gold line sliding in underneath. Check a frame when done.
```

## More prompts

### Course creator

```text
@Tella In my video "Quillpath lesson 3", add a Tella Motion lower third when I first appear: "Priya Nair" and "Writing coach" sliding in from the left on a dark bar at 80% opacity. Hold 4 seconds, then fade out.
```

### Startup update

```text
@Tella In my video "Harborly Q3 recap", when I say signups grew from 1,200 to 3,400, show Tella Motion b-roll with a bar chart: gray for 1,200, orange #F97316 for 3,400, bars growing in over one second.
```

## How to do it in Tella

1. In Tella, open Settings → Connections → AI apps, click Connect next to ChatGPT, and sign in to Tella.
2. In a chat, mention @Tella and name the video, the graphic, and where it goes: its own clip, an overlay or b-roll.
3. Give the text, colors and timing in seconds, or the line you say when it should appear.
4. Ask it to check a frame, then play the video in Tella and ask for changes until it looks right.

## Good to know

- Available to everyone: through the Tella Agent on a paid plan or the 7-day trial, or through Claude or ChatGPT on any plan.
- Tella Motion builds graphics from text, shapes, paths and media you give it. It doesn't generate video footage.
- A Tella Motion clip has no transcript, so graphics in it are timed in seconds. To time a graphic to your speech, put it over a recorded clip.

## Questions people ask

### Can I use Claude instead of ChatGPT to make motion graphics in Tella?

Yes. Connect Tella from Claude's Connector Directory or from Settings → Connections → AI apps in Tella. Claude gets the same Tella Motion tools, and so do [Claude Code](https://www.tella.tv/settings/connections), [Cursor](https://www.tella.tv/settings/connections) and [Codex](https://www.tella.tv/settings/connections).

### Do I need Developer mode to connect Tella to ChatGPT?

No. Tella is an official ChatGPT app: click Connect, sign in to Tella, then mention @Tella in a chat. A custom connector pointed at https://api.tella.com/mcp also works, but the official app is simpler.

### Can I edit the graphic later without ChatGPT?

Yes. The graphic is built with the same commands the Tella editor uses, so it stays editable like a hand edit. Select it in the Tella editor and ask the [Tella Agent](https://www.tella.com/agent) for changes, or go back to ChatGPT.
