The example The 25-second ad this guide breaks down, step by step.

One video. 6 steps. 25 seconds.

This is the exact process behind a real CodeFlow ad, from a blank page to a smooth MP4, a vertical reel and an editable After Effects project. Every step comes with a prompt you can paste into Claude.

1

Script

Write the voice-over first. One idea per line.

+ SaaSFlow
5

Animate

Claude and the SaaSFlow skill make it smooth, cut to your voice.

+ CodeFlow
6

After Effects

Drop the HTML on CodeFlow: real layers, real keyframes.

Steps 1–4 are free and need only Claude. Steps 5–6 are where the SaaSFlow skill and the CodeFlow panel do the heavy lifting.

Looks AI-made
Looks human-made
Crossfades between scenes
Hard cuts hidden by matched motion
Text fades in as one block
Lines and words land one after another
Every scene 4–5 s long
1 s text beats, 2–3 s product scenes
Rainbow gradients, emoji icons
One brand colour, white type, one accent
Stock icons, fake dashboards
The real product, real numbers
Cuts that ignore the voice
Cuts and actions land on words
A whoosh on everything
Voice first, music under it
