Opus 5.5 as producer: a zero-cost video made on a local media stack
The author used Opus 5.5 for scripting and production while voice, visuals and music all ran on a local media stack with no APIs and no cost, taking about an hour and a half per video.
I've been seeing friends like @bradmillscan create some really impressive videos with AI lately. Opus 5.5 is a game changer for content. In some cases they are paying thousands of dollars for the services to do this: Voice, Video, Music, etc. I've been working on my local media stack. Do we really need to spend so much for cloud services? I admit, I used Opus 5.5 for the production/script because it is such a great producer. That aside, everything in this video was created with my media workflow, my tools, only using software that I can run on my own computer with no APIs, not a penny spent. I can do these all day. About an hour and a half for this one, but I'm still learning. Tell me what you think.
