00:00:00Today you're going to learn how to combine the powers of the brand new Clod design and Seed Dance 2.0
00:00:06to create animated websites just like this one. I'm going to take you through my entire workflow step
00:00:12by step so you can recreate this even if you've never done anything like this before. And along
00:00:17the way I'm going to show you how to get the most out of Anthropix brand new tool with some tips and
00:00:22tricks. Now when it comes to creating a web page like this the first place we need to start is this
00:00:28background video and to get the background video we first need a starting image. Now we are going
00:00:32to create that starting image using Nano Banana Pro and then we will take that starting image
00:00:37and turn it into a video using Seed Dance 2.0 and all that is going to occur here on Higgsfield which
00:00:44is my one-stop shop for any and all AI content creation tools. So to start we're just going to go
00:00:49to image and head to Nano Banana Pro and right away you will see some of the images I've been working
00:00:55on and they should look very familiar to our web page particularly these guys. Now the exact prompt
00:01:01I use can be found inside my free school and there'll be a link to that in the description
00:01:05but what I want to focus on here when we are talking about the image is less about the specific
00:01:11prompt itself because the image you are going to want to create is going to be different than mine
00:01:15but more on the composition. Why is this image set up in the manner it is? Well when we look at the
00:01:21final product here it's kind of obvious right we have this big hero image taking up the right side
00:01:26of the screen but we still needed some dead space on the left for our text and when I had Nano Banana
00:01:31Pro create this image I had that sort of composition in mind I was like okay we're going to have a image
00:01:38where it's kind of cut in half on the right side we'll have our you know flashy image and then on
00:01:44the left this is where the hero text is going to be so this is sort of like the tagline over here
00:01:51we're going to have some sort of banner up top with the nav bar where people can you know hit
00:01:55home or the different pages we'll have some sort of buttons here that are like all right sign up
00:02:00or learn more and then maybe we'll have some sort of ticker on the bottom. I already knew that going
00:02:04in and that's something you need to know going in when you ask Nano Banana Pro to create the image
00:02:10for you because whatever the composition is going to be from this sort of setup that's going to dictate
00:02:17your prompt and now your question probably is well Chase I have no idea what my options even are I
00:02:22don't know what the composition should be in the first place how do I figure that out well the
00:02:25easiest way to do that is to just find some websites you like and start breaking down their hero and
00:02:30landing page composition that way and a great place to see examples of that is Dribbble. So that's
00:02:35Dribbble with three B's if I go ahead and look up landing page sass you can look up landing page
00:02:40whatever you will see what I'm talking about so what do we see here right this one right here well
00:02:47they kind of have the image at the bottom in the text up top we could do something similar with
00:02:52this right we could move him down here to the center maybe we have the clouds beyond the sides
00:02:56instead and then the text goes here again changes the composition entirely or do we want something
00:03:02like this where the image is center stage and the text goes around and we add some other elements
00:03:07you know as you go through and you scroll down you see that there's a million different ways you can
00:03:11do this but you need to know ahead of time or you at least need to have two or three ideas in your
00:03:16back pocket and then when you go to nano banana pro you can then give it prompts that reflect that
00:03:22style so to recap when we are creating our image the number one thing we need to figure out is the
00:03:26composition and by composition where is the dead space going to be where is that text going to be
00:03:32it's going to be on the left center right top doesn't matter you just need to choose and have
00:03:37your prompt reflect that and also when it comes to the prompt lean on stuff like Claude to help
00:03:42write it for you now for our demo today we will be using this image and i will also have a copy of
00:03:47this inside of the community if you want to just copy me step by step and with our still image in
00:03:51hand now we're going to head to claud design and the general flow is going to be image created in
00:03:56nano banana pro we're going to mock up our website here on design and once we get a website we like
00:04:01you know a design we like a landing page and all that then we will take that image and turn it into
00:04:05a video because it's very simple to do that as a final step so if you're brand new to claud design
00:04:10don't worry we will hit the big things you need to worry about in this video but i also have a deep
00:04:14dive that goes into the weeds a bit that you should watch as well and i will link that above but for
00:04:18our purposes what we want to do is we want to head over here to the left go to prototype and we'll
00:04:24just give it some sort of project name i'll call mine sd2 for design system you probably won't have
00:04:30a design system you don't need one in this case for now again if you want to learn more about design
00:04:35systems check out that deep dive video we're going to do high fidelity and then we're going to create
00:04:40that will then take you to this page and the first thing we want to do is we want to add some context
00:04:45and the context we're going to add is the image we downloaded so you can see down here on the left
00:04:49i have uploaded my screenshot next we want to give it a prompt now you can continue to add more
00:04:55screenshots here and i totally advise you do if you had some good examples from someone like dribble so
00:04:59if you found something on dribble you like in terms of the overall composition add that as well
00:05:04now when it comes to the actual prompt itself i highly suggest you lean on something like claud
00:05:09code to write it for you and here's a look at the prompt that claud code came up with that i'm going
00:05:13to paste it into claud design this is for our fake sas company olympus which is a market intelligence
00:05:19platform so it goes into what the company's about it gets pretty detailed with the hero talks about
00:05:25what sections it wants to be on the landing page and then add some stuff with like like motion now
00:05:30very importantly we have this line at the end that says ask me any questions before you begin the cool
00:05:36thing about claud design is it can act sort of like claud code in that it will create a plan mode
00:05:42so i'm going to give it a prompt this exact one you see here and then it's going to ask me a bunch
00:05:46of questions to better drill down on what it is i'm trying to build and the great thing about that
00:05:50plan mode feature where it asks us questions is the fact that if you show up with a bad prompt that
00:05:54isn't even half as detailed as this one you can go into claud design and get a fairly robust first
00:06:01pass because you went through this whole q and a with claud so i pasted it all in there and we're
00:06:06just gonna hit send now a quick call out here on usage with claud design claud design operates on
00:06:11its own usage limits it's separate from your pro limits or your max 5 or your max 20 limits with
00:06:18claud it's on its own thing and it can be kind of a resource hog so always keep an eye on it in my case
00:06:23i've already blown through it because i've been using this a ton so i'm on my extra usage
00:06:28for reference when i ran through this whole thing you're seeing today on my own in terms of extra
00:06:33usage it cost me about five dollars to create the landing page and i could have gotten that even even
00:06:38lower but just so you have an idea of where we're at and so here's the questions it's coming back
00:06:43with so questions typography section what do we want to do let's do modern mythic color palette
00:06:52let's do inverted and ultimately we'll have more options once it actually creates this using tweaks
00:06:58like you'll see later copy voice let's do mythic sprinkled in because in case you didn't realize
00:07:06we're doing like olympus is the company name it's like an intelligence app so this whole picture
00:07:11we've been dealing with is supposed to be like this promethean fire type analogy thing so hero
00:07:17composition full bleed image let's do full bleed image section order boom boom boom boom and you
00:07:26can always decide for me if you just don't even know um social proof decide for me decide for me
00:07:32and here's a here's a cool thing tweaks so tweaks will make more sense here in a second but i always
00:07:39suggest use as many tweaks as possible and we can always add more later so we're gonna hit continue
00:07:45and now it's going to go ahead and create this thing for us now quick lay of the land
00:07:50for a claw design wall builds this up here at the top right where it says share if i click on this
00:07:56we aren't stuck inside claw design forever what's really cool about this and what i'll show you later
00:08:01is that we can export this to clod code and then like once we have like an 89 solution we're done
00:08:07getting crushed in terms of usage we can bring it to clod code and work on it to our you know
00:08:12hearts content we can also export it as html send it to canva export as a powerpoint or pdf for
00:08:17download things so we can also bring teammates in so you can have this be a collaborative thing so
00:08:22lots of options and clod design as a whole is very versatile and here's what claw design came
00:08:27back with and i will be moving this all over the place during this video now first thing to call
00:08:33your attention to tweaks over here on the right so tweaks are a menu on this page that allows us
00:08:40to very quickly change different micro elements of our page so i can change the accents i can change
00:08:48the theme from light to dark which is more obvious down here you can change the headline logo mark
00:08:54pricing names any sort of motion so makes it very very easy to iterate between different versions of
00:09:03our site beyond that i have the ability to edit things on a granular level if i come here to the
00:09:07top right and hit edit i can click on different things like this button up here and i could change
00:09:13the color directly i can change the font you know the padding the opacity everything and i also have
00:09:19the ability to comment so i can click on that same button and instead of actually changing the
00:09:25specific values i could leave a comment like make it bigger make it smaller or i can draw on it so i
00:09:30can draw on this thing you know select all this and say like hey move left and then send that to
00:09:39claud down here and it will actually take a screenshot essentially of what i just wrote it
00:09:44and be like oh okay let's move that left a little bit and we can see it now moved it to the left and
00:09:49it has this hideous thing going on there that we can remove as well but what you should do at this
00:09:55point is first of all you know get a quick look at like okay what do i think of sort of the overall
00:10:02design first pass seems fine most importantly in terms of our image do we need to go back inside
00:10:09of nano banana pro and edit this image do we need to make it smaller bigger whatever if that looks
00:10:14good my suggestion when we're in claud design is we use sort of a two-step process one what i want
00:10:21to do is i want to see different variants of my web page and i'm not talking about little tweaks
00:10:26i want to see at least two more completely different layouts to get an idea of what path i
00:10:32want to go down and once we find a variant we like at a macro level well then we hone in on it and we
00:10:37get more tweaks shown to us not just five weeks i'm talking like 15 tweaks so we can really get
00:10:43something we like because the goal is to get to a 90 solution before we bring the video in and then
00:10:48before we bring it into claud code to make it our own and to do that is really easy all we have to
00:10:53do is prompt claud design so i'm going to say can you create two additional layout variants for our
00:10:58web page that i can click through in addition to this current one so just some new designs we could
00:11:03include and this idea of creating macro variants and then once we decide on a variant creating a ton
00:11:09of tweaks this is what really separates claud design from claud code now straight up prompt
00:11:16for prompt in a vacuum i think design is a little bit better than claud code at front end but this
00:11:20sort of like variation and visual iteration that we can do very very quickly i think that's the big
00:11:27unlock with claud design and that's where the value lies because if we try to do the same thing inside
00:11:32of claud code it's a bit laborious and so here's what i'm talking about up top we have the cinematic
00:11:37version which was the original and now it gave us an archive as well as a terminal version and you can
00:11:45see they're all pretty unique and this also applies to the rest of the page not just the hero section
00:11:53but all of it and honestly looking at this i think the terminal actually looks kind of sick we would
00:12:01have to change the image here and we definitely would have to move away from the video but right
00:12:09away you see this and i i think this looks really cool and definitely looks different than your
00:12:13standard everyday ai created web page so this is what i'm talking about when with when it comes to
00:12:20actually like harnessing the power of claud design is seeing these variations because i would have
00:12:24never thought to do something like this or even know how to prompt it to give me this i really
00:12:29like this but to actually keep this video on track what we're going to do is we will stay with the
00:12:35cinematic but i wanted to show you that because the idea is you do this pick the one you like and then
00:12:40you move on to step two of the claw design process which is tweaks tweaks tweaks and so we have all
00:12:46these tweaks here but just like how i asked claud design earlier to give me some more variations now
00:12:51i'm going to ask it to be very aggressive with the tweaks it gives me i don't have to know what tweaks
00:12:56i want i don't have to know if oh i want to be able to change the theme or the headline or the low i
00:13:00don't know just give me a bunch and we'll figure it out so i wrote down here let's stick with the
00:13:04cinematic you can remove the other two and also aggressively increase the number of tweaks available
00:13:11and we'll see what it comes up with now we can see all of the additional tweaks it added so we
00:13:15went from about five tweaks to about 15 or so which is great so we have these original ones
00:13:22with the accents the theme logo mark that one looks good fonts body font mono font type scale
00:13:36wait the point is i can now rip through all of these over and over and over again i can even
00:13:42change the cta overlay darkness ember glow like it doesn't stop it doesn't stop so i ran through
00:13:51all the tweaks on my end got rid of the embers and this is what we eventually got now i have the
00:13:56ability to look at it full screen if i go to present up top full screen so we can get a better idea of
00:14:02what it will look like and for now for me this looks pretty good remember we don't need a 100
00:14:08solution inside of claw design we want to get as close as possible we want to make all the design
00:14:14decisions we can and then what we want to eventually do is bring it back into claud couldn't do the minor
00:14:18tweaks because remember claw design is a resource hog you only get so much usage so we want to make
00:14:23it count so now we can transition it into the video section where we take this background and actually
00:14:29animate it now side note it is important that we did all this with the still background because
00:14:35when we talk about mobile users we don't want our mobile users to get hit with some giant video that
00:14:39can slow them down so if someone's on mobile and they go to our website that we set up here they're
00:14:43just going to see the still image so we're going to use cdance for this so again i'm back here inside
00:14:47of higgsfield gonna go to cdance 2.0 you don't have to use cdance cdance is just the best one out there
00:14:52right now other options include cling 3.0 you can also use something like vo 3.1 and the video setup
00:14:58is very easy literally you're just going to take your image and you're going to drop it into here
00:15:04so you literally just drag and drop it up here as the starting frame and then we just give it
00:15:08a prompt now the prompt is very basic all i wrote was keep the motion extremely slow clouds barely
00:15:15moving embers from the fire in his hands slowly drifting and we get something like this we want
00:15:21subtle we don't want crazy you don't want it to look like a wild video game you want it to almost
00:15:26just seem like an animated like low-key gif and that's because the hero image just giving us some
00:15:32flair to our site you don't want it to take over everything and secondly as you'll see here it's
00:15:37going to flip because at most you're going to get 15 seconds out of this thing ideally you can create
00:15:43a perfect loop but that can be kind of tough so the best bet is to do what we did here and just have a
00:15:4815 second video which sounds like a lot at the beginning but it's really not too heavy and the
00:15:54other thing when we go for 15 seconds the chances are that someone goes onto your website and they
00:15:59just sit there on your hero page reading for 15 seconds and then they get like startled by
00:16:04the cut when it reverts back on the loop is unlikely what most likely happens is they go to
00:16:10your hero wow looks cool 10 seconds later they're down the rest of the lane page to see what you're
00:16:15all about and so keep the prompt simple keep it subtle if you want to go crazy go ahead make it
00:16:20as long as possible for 15 seconds you want it to be 16 by 9 and you want it to be at least
00:16:261080p some models will give you the option to enhance the prompt where it's like pretty much
00:16:30saying hey you put in your bad prompt and we make it better don't do that you always want full control
00:16:34of your prompt and expect you're going to have to do a couple variations of this until you get it
00:16:40right so likely for to get one that actually works you're going to have to do this four or five times
00:16:45until you finally get the output you're looking for but once we get that output all we need to do is
00:16:50download it and then we hop back into claud design and we are just going to drop that mp4 file into
00:16:57the prompt window so i just uploaded it down here on the left and then i wrote can we swap the still
00:17:01image for the video i just uploaded for the hero background and then we'll give you something like
00:17:05this and it is quite literally that simple and it's at this point that we are pretty much done inside
00:17:12of claud design i mean if you want to do more changes do more tweaks totally up to you but if
00:17:17you're at this place i would say you're ready to actually move out of claud design and now bring
00:17:22this into something like claud code like we talked about early very easy to do we're going to go up to
00:17:26share and we are going to go to hand off the claud code now because this includes a video in an mp4
00:17:34if you try to just do the copy command it might have some trouble actually downloading it so what
00:17:38you're going to want to do instead is you just want to download the zip so it's going to take
00:17:44all the files all that live video all the coding stuff under the hood and just put it into a zip
00:17:49file and so you can do download zip you then want to extract all of this and then you're just going
00:17:56to take that extracted folder drop it into claud code and say download everything we're now going
00:18:03to create a website using all this code and you're pretty much done at that point so i dropped it in
00:18:10and said extract all these files for the web page we are building and then spin up a dev server and
00:18:14here's the web page on the dev server it's been up and with that the transfer to claud code is complete
00:18:19you've set up the animated hero section it has the video it has the still everything is ready to go
00:18:25for you to make minor changes and then push it to github before you push it to vercel and actually
00:18:29host it online so that's where i'm going to leave you guys for today i hope this was able to shed
00:18:33some light on how to combine the power of claud design and see dance 2.0 to create these sort of
00:18:39animated websites as always let me know what you thought make sure to check out chase ai if
00:18:44you want to get your hands on all those resources and i'll see you around

Key Takeaway

Integrating Nano Banana Pro, Claude Design, and Seedance 2.0 enables the rapid development of animated hero websites by iterating on layout compositions and subtle background video loops before final coding.

Highlights

Nano Banana Pro generates the initial hero images based on pre-planned layout compositions that reserve dead space for text.

Claude Design creates web prototypes by ingesting screenshots and detailed prompts, acting as an iterative design tool before code development.

Seedance 2.0 transforms static hero images into 15-second animated videos by using the image as a starting frame with subtle movement prompts.

Claude Design allows users to aggressively increase iteration tweaks from 5 to 15+ options to refine micro-elements like theme, font, and motion.

Exporting a Claude Design project as a ZIP file allows for a seamless transition into Claude Code for final development and deployment.

Timeline

Planning and Generating Hero Images

  • Website composition must be planned before image generation to ensure proper placement of hero text and UI elements.
  • Dribbble provides layout references to determine effective hero section compositions.
  • Nano Banana Pro creates the source image based on the chosen composition.

The foundation for a successful animated website lies in pre-planning the layout, specifically identifying where the hero text, navigation bar, and buttons will reside. By reviewing landing page examples on platforms like Dribbble, designers can define the required dead space. This composition knowledge informs the prompt used in Nano Banana Pro to generate an appropriate starting image.

Prototyping in Claude Design

  • Claude Design uses uploaded images and detailed prompts to build high-fidelity website prototypes.
  • The tool supports a plan mode that asks clarifying questions to improve the initial design output.
  • Users can generate macro-level layout variants and then aggressively increase tweaks to refine micro-design elements.

Claude Design serves as an iterative prototyping environment. Users upload their generated image and provide a detailed prompt, which the system uses to build the initial structure. By engaging with the system's plan mode and leveraging up to 15+ tweak options, designers can rapidly iterate on themes, typography, and layout variants before moving to the coding phase.

Animating Backgrounds and Exporting Code

  • Seedance 2.0 creates 15-second, subtle background video loops from a single static image.
  • Claude Design accepts uploaded MP4 files to swap static hero images for animated backgrounds.
  • Final projects are exported as ZIP files from Claude Design to be processed and finalized in Claude Code.

Once the design is finalized, the static hero image is converted into a subtle 15-second video loop using Seedance 2.0. This video file is then re-imported into the Claude Design prototype to replace the static image. The final design, including code and assets, is exported as a ZIP file and brought into Claude Code for server setup, final coding adjustments, and deployment.
