What it does
Rebuild an Apple-style Mac launch film entirely in code with Claude Code. A thin menu bar, the black notch growing into widgets one scene at a time, full-screen gradient wallpapers and one short caption per scene. No screen recording, no After Effects. Use when someone says "Apple-style launch", "Mac launch video", "notch animation", "make it look like an Apple keynote", "macOS UI launch film" or wants a product launch that looks like native Mac interface.
Apple-style launch film, built in code
Every pixel of the Mac is drawn in code: the menu bar, the notch, the widgets and the wallpapers. One HTML file with window.seek(seconds), exported to MP4.
Before you start: read brand.md and MOTION.md if they exist. If not, run brand-intake first, or ask for hex codes, a font and a logo file. Never call a result on-brand without them.
Pairs with a free skill (not mine) that turns Apple's design guidelines into rules Claude follows. Install it once:

Step 1: Ask for five things, then wait
- The product name and its one line, word for word.
- The facts list. Every feature, number and requirement the film may show. Nothing else goes on screen.
- The scenes. 6 to 8, each one feature plus one short caption. Example: "Your voice lives here."
- A reference (optional): a real Mac launch film or frames of one, in a folder called
ref. It sets the look only. - Size and length. Default 1920 x 1080, 30fps, about 2.5 seconds a scene.
Step 2: Build brief (paste into Claude Code)
Use the apple-design skill. [If ref/ exists: Match the LOOK of the reference in ref/. Read every frame first. Do not copy its words or its product name.]
It is a launch film for [PRODUCT]: the black MacBook notch at the top centre grows into Apple-style widgets, one scene at a time. Each scene has its own full-screen colour-gradient wallpaper and one centred caption below the notch, with the last word or two tinted a lighter shade of the wallpaper colour. It opens with the notch expanded and the word "hello" handwritten in a white script line, like the Mac hello screen.
Use only these facts, and add no others:
