What it does
The plugin builds music videos from a song and a creative prompt and works only on macOS. Core Graphics and Core Text draw scenes and typography, Metal computes shaders, particles and glow, AVFoundation assembles the video, and a custom Swift synthesizer produces sound effects. Ruby orchestrates the toolkit and writes scene descriptions, while local Python analyses audio, separates stems and makes cutouts. The skill creates a separate project, maps beats and musical sections, researches visual ideas, writes a `docs/PLAN.md` plan and previews the affected ranges. The approved video gets a final pass: a 60 fps master with 30 fps previews. This is a fork of the original without image and video generation: GPT Image, Nano Banana and MiniMax are removed, so no Fal key is needed for the main workflow.
Who it is for. Mac owners on Apple Silicon who make clips and lyric videos and do not want to pay for image generation models.
Good fit when
- You have a finished song and want a clip with graphics built on its rhythm and sections.
- Previews need a fast local renderer rather than a queue on a cloud model.
- The video is assembled from your own fonts and assets with no file uploads to outside services.
- You need sound effects that are synthesized locally and fitted to the edit.
Not a fit when
- You need photorealistic frames or text-to-video generation: those adapters are removed in the fork.
- The work runs on Windows or Linux: the renderer uses Swift, Metal and AVFoundation.
- You need the original plugin with image generation: it has its own card.
Example request
Make a clip for my track: brutalist old-terminal graphics, rhythm tied to the drums, a preview of the first thirty seconds.Limitations
The plugin targets macOS: it needs Xcode Command Line Tools and the Homebrew packages `ruby`, `ffmpeg`, `imagemagick`, `python` and `uv`. Local MLX transcription requires Apple Silicon. Each project keeps its own copy of the runtime, so existing projects are not upgraded: start a new project for a new version. Optional Fal audio tasks (Music3, Stable Audio, Whisper, Demucs) send prompts and audio to the service and may cost money, and the key is entered through `/plugin configure`. Models for transcription and stem separation are downloaded on first use. The plugin installs with `--scope user`.
How to disable. Remove the `motion-graphics-music-video-noimage` plugin through `/plugin` in Claude Code. Created clip projects live separately and stay, so delete their folders yourself.
FAQ
How does the noimage fork differ from the original?
It has no image or video generation: the GPT Image, Nano Banana and MiniMax adapters are removed. Frames are drawn by Swift code, and the plugin, skill and MCP server names carry a `-noimage` suffix so both plugins can coexist.
Is a Fal key required?
Not for the main workflow. The key is only for optional audio tasks: Music3, Stable Audio SFX, Whisper and Demucs. Set it with `/plugin configure motion-graphics-music-video-noimage`.
Which dependencies are needed on a Mac?
Run `brew install ruby ffmpeg imagemagick python uv` and `xcode-select --install`. Use the Homebrew Ruby in your `PATH`. Node.js and a browser renderer are not required.
What resolution is the finished video?
Defaults are 1080p, 30 fps previews and a 60 fps master.
Are files sent to the cloud?
Not by default: rendering, audio processing and synthesis run locally. Explicitly requested Fal tasks are the exception, and web research for ideas uses the agent's configured search tools.

README in short
The README presents the plugin as a native Mac edition without image models. It collects nine example clips made only with the Swift renderer and lists dependencies, audio task keys, tests and what leaves the machine.
