Hypernatural

Creating and editing videos with MCP

Describe a video, then keep chatting to shape it — the same way you'd work with Hypernatural's in-app chat, just from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your coding assistant.

Start a video

Just ask. A one-line idea is enough to get something started, but the more direction you give — style, setting, pacing, a rough shot list — the closer the first draft lands to what you want.

Use Hypernatural to make a beverage ad about Sol Soda
Make a 30-second product video for @GlowSerum: open on the bottle on a marble counter, cut to a hand applying it, close on the logo. Clean, minimal look, confident female narrator.

Hypernatural writes the script, generates the shots, and starts working in the background.

Keep chatting to edit it

Once a video exists, describe what you want changed and Hypernatural applies it:

Make the second shot slower and add ambient cafe sound
Swap the narrator for a male voice and shorten the intro
Regenerate shot 3 — the product isn't visible enough

There's no separate "edit mode" — every message after the first one edits the video that's already there, the same conversation just keeps going.

What happens while Hypernatural works

Generation happens in the background, so your assistant checks in and reports back. Most of the time that's a simple "still working" or "done, here's what changed" — but sometimes it needs something from you before it can continue:

  • A question about your request — if what you asked for is ambiguous, your assistant relays the question and applies your answer.

  • A choice between reference images — if a name could match more than one saved character or product, you'll be asked to pick.

  • A credit top-up — if your team's balance runs out mid-generation.

  • A decision that needs the visual editor — some changes are easier to make by looking at the timeline than by describing them in words; when that's the case, your assistant will point you to the app instead of guessing.

Bring in characters, products, and logos

Mention anything saved in your library with @Name and Hypernatural uses it consistently across every shot, instead of generating a new look each time:

If the name doesn't match anything saved yet, your assistant will tell you so you can create it first. See Control your video with ingredients for how to set up characters, products, logos, voices, and styles.

Finish in the app

MCP builds and edits your video, but rendering the final file and exporting happens in Hypernatural itself. Once your video's ready, your assistant hands you a link straight to it in the editor.

Tips

  • Give style, setting, and mood up front — you'll spend less time correcting later

  • Edit one thing at a time for predictable results ("shorten shot 2," not "fix the pacing")

  • Use @Name instead of re-describing a character or product in every message

  • If your assistant says something needs the app, that's expected for visual decisions — not an error
