WaterrrForeverandClaude Opus 5.5 c4edac3056 docs: rename the Workflows nav group to Make a video and drop retired workflow steps (#5655)
The per-workflow guides now route through /hyperframes, so the sidebar group
names what the reader wants to do rather than skills that no longer ship. The
guides no longer promise a confirmation round the retired workflow skills ran
(the interview and brief); they say what to put in the request and when to ask
for a proposal or storyboard first. URLs are unchanged.

Make a motion graphic for one short, design-led idea—usually under ten seconds—where the movement carries the message.

Short beats back to back, because that is what a motion graphic is — units of
motion small enough to drop into something else.
## Make the request
State the message and the short result:
```text
Using /hyperframes, make a six-second motion graphic that counts from zero to
10,000 and lands on “Thank you.” No narration.
```
Say whether you want a finished video or a transparent overlay when it could
be either. Exact beat timings are optional unless a specific moment must land
precisely.
## What are you animating?
- **Words** — use kinetic type when movement and emphasis carry the message.
- **One number** — count or reveal a statistic, settle on the result, and hold it long enough to register.
- **Data** — animate a chart or comparison so the sequence makes the conclusion clear.
- **Logo** — build a short sting with a deliberate entrance, completion, and clean hold.
- **Overlay** — create a lower third or callout that enters, holds, and clears completely over footage.
- **Page, post, or map** — capture the real source and animate one detail into the visual payoff.
The same request shape can animate kinetic type, a statistic, chart, logo, lower third, map, real webpage, news headline, or post.
If the result needs narration, several scenes, or a longer story, make a [custom video](/guides/general-video).
## Choose the output
- **MP4** for a finished standalone graphic.
- **WebM or MOV with transparency** for a logo sting, lower third, callout, or other overlay placed over footage.
For an overlay, name where it should sit and how long it should hold. The first and final frames must clear cleanly.
## Review the motion
- The words, data, source, and logo are exact.
- The complete message is readable while the video plays.
- The main movement helps communicate the meaning.
- The opening and ending states are deliberate.
- A transparent export has been checked over real footage.

Check the motion at full speed, render the chosen format, and review the final file.

## A finished one, end to end
The demo above shows the range. This is a complete graphic built from it —
music and sound, no narration, the motion carrying all of it.
