The author argues Opus 5.5 can mass-produce videos but its default editing is bland, so the real edge is directing: studying viral frames and giving good references.

Holy sh*t... Opus 5.5 can now generate 100M+ views with just 20 videos theres 100s of these account spawning every single day but.. 99% are not performing, < 1000 views and the 1% that is generating millions of views are simply good directors. The new moat is being a good director. the same way Claudes designs are purple gradient slop by default Claudes editing skill will look terrible by default So your job is to study frame by frame What makes a viral video. provide good references and become a good director thats how you end up making masterpieces like these..
