Opus 5.5 and Remotion: a 30-second launch video written as code
The author had Opus 5.5 in Claude Code write a full launch video as Remotion code, including transitions and soundtrack, rendered frame by frame for $3 in 14 minutes.
I gave Opus 5.5 one rule: make my launch video without a video model, an editor or a single stock clip. It wrote the whole video as code. Every frame, every transition, even the soundtrack. Then a browser recorded it frame by frame. 14 minutes. $3. How to try it: 1. Open Claude Code on Opus 5.5 2. Add Remotion's skills: npx skills add remotion-dev/skills 3. Tell it: "make a 30-second vertical launch video for [your thing], write the music in code" 4. Let it render Remotion is the video engine it builds on, free for individuals and teams up to 3 people. One guy made 22 videos this way for $67 total. And a repo with 11.8K stars collects viral Opus videos with the prompts behind them. Link in the reply. Next time someone quotes you $400 for a promo, send it to Opus first.
