The prompt behind it
Claude made this from the prompt below, working directly in Layerz Canvas through its MCP server. Paste it into Claude (Claude Code or Claude Desktop) with the Layerz Canvas MCP connected and it builds a new take on the same canvas — then you take over. Connect the MCP server

Build this in Layerz Canvas using the layerz-canvas MCP.
A 15-second explainer diagram, 1920×1080 at 60fps: how a sentence typed to Claude becomes a finished animation in Layerz Canvas. Clean, technical, satisfying.
Look: near-black #0C0C0E, node cards in #18181C with 1px #2A2A30 borders, Claude clay #D97757 for anything Claude does, Layerz violet #7C5CFF for anything Layerz Canvas does, white text. SF Pro for labels, SF Mono for calls.
Beats:
- 0.0–2.5s, ask: a chat bubble types "Make a 5-second logo sting with a bouncy chevron." A clay starburst icon next to it spins once.
- 2.5–5.0s, think: the bubble shrinks into a clay dot that travels right along a drawn connector to a node labelled "Claude". Three small sub-steps pop out above it like a thought stack: "plan beats", "pick colours", "write calls".
- 5.0–8.0s, calls: from Claude, a rail labelled "MCP" draws toward a violet node "Layerz Canvas". Four call pills ride along the rail in a stagger: "new document", "draw path", "add keyframes", "export video", each in tiny mono type.
- 8.0–11.0s, build: the violet node opens into a mini canvas. A chevron path draws on, keyframe diamonds tick onto a timeline, and the chevron bounces with a spring. The camera pushes into the mini canvas.
- 11.0–13.0s, ship: an MP4 file chip drops out of the canvas and rides the rail back to the chat, landing as a reply bubble with a play triangle.
- 13.0–15.0s, end: the whole diagram slides into a tidy line — Claude ↔ MCP ↔ Layerz Canvas — then condenses into "Claude × Layerz Canvas".
Craft notes: data always moves left to right on the way in and right to left on the way back; connectors draw on before anything travels on them; each node lights up only while it's working.
