This was entirely edited by Opus 5.5. This was an abandoned project because I couldn’t figure out the edit. Last night I gave Claude access to the project folder and some instructions. It worked overnight to create this. I gave it a few notes this morning, but it just about nailed it on the first pass. It didn’t use any editing software just python scripts to assemble the footage. https://x.com/JoshDaws/status/2104193860444549356/video/1
