Many people have asked me how I create these amazing animations using Opus 5.5. So I created a skill for it: video-by-reference It introduces a brand new design workflow that carefully studies a video's look, sound, editing, and pacing and adapts them into an inspired web animation. I've made this skill completely free and open-sourced. Any feedback is much appreciated!
