A claymation style video puts one idea in a miniature set

Jellypod draws plasticine puppets in a warm miniature set, with a stepped stop-motion look. A separate voice narrates, and the puppets stay silent.

The miniature prop stands in for the idea, so a lesson or a product explainer reads at a glance. See every look on the AI video generator page.

Pick Claymation, then download the MP4

  1. Step 01

    Start from a topic or a source

    Type a topic, upload a PDF or slide deck, or paste a script. Jellypod writes the narration from that source.

  2. Step 02

    Pick Claymation and a voice

    Choose Claymation in a video or a short, then pick the narrator.

  3. Step 03

    Edit and download

    Edit any line or scene, then download the MP4: a video of 3 to 25 minutes or a short of 30 seconds or 1 minute.

A miniature set makes the point physical

Each scene turns the spoken line into a prop or a small action, and Jellypod animates up to 10 of them. Apply a brand kit and Claymation uses its accent color.

The same claymation style works as a short

A short runs 30 seconds or 1 minute and starts in portrait for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, with word-synced captions and an instrumental score. Reuse the narrator from the longer video.

FAQ

What is a claymation style video?
A claymation style video is a narrated explainer drawn as plasticine puppets in a warm miniature set, one point per scene. Pick Claymation for a video or a short. Jellypod writes the narration, generates the scenes, and adds word-synced captions.
How do I make a claymation video with AI?
Type a topic or upload a PDF, slide deck, script, or URL, then pick the Claymation style and a narrator. Jellypod writes the narration and draws a scene for each point. You need no animation skills.
Why use an AI claymation video?
An AI claymation video suits a lesson, a product explainer, or a short announcement. The miniature prop stands in for the idea, so the point reads without a presenter on camera.
Is this claymation AI?
Yes. Jellypod generates the claymation style and writes the narration from a topic, PDF, deck, or URL. The puppets are drawn, not sculpted, and a separate voice narrates.
Is a Claymation video filmed with real clay?
No. Claymation is an AI-generated style. The scenes look like plasticine puppets in miniature sets. Nothing is sculpted or photographed by hand.
Can I make full videos and short clips?
Both. A video runs 3 to 25 minutes depending on your plan (15 on Starter and Educator, 20 on Creator, 25 on Business and Enterprise). A short runs 30 seconds or 1 minute and defaults to portrait for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Can I edit the scenes after they generate?
Yes. Regenerate a single scene with a note, replace it with your own image or clip, or rewrite a line of narration and regenerate only that audio. Then download the MP4. The style stays fixed after generation starts, so a different look means a new video.
Is there a free claymation video generator?
Yes. Every new account starts on the Free plan with 500 credits. No credit card required. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial with 5,000 credits, and you can cancel anytime. Drafting and editing use no credits; narration and visuals use credits when they are generated. Free video exports carry a small "Made with Jellypod" watermark.
