Opus 5.5 edits a New York family vlog in one shot
The author gave Opus 5.5 iPhone footage, a chosen song, trip context and a self-built editing skill, and it cut a vlog of his dad and stepmom's New York trip in a single pass.
Opus 5.5 one-shotted editing this vlog of my dad & stepmom visiting NYC for the first (ish) time! I captured all of this footage yesterday (Saturday during the “nor’easter”) and ran this process at the end of the day. I gave it: - Some text sources on editing vlogs well - Range of photos/videos captured (pulled it directly from my iPhone) - A song I picked from Epidemic Sound (this took the most time) - Described some context on the trip and 2-3 highlights from the day (1-2 sentences) - An editing skill I created that helps with assembly I’ve been building a lot of slightly unhinged tools as experiments to help my content creation workflows. I do think you have to suffer through making a lot of content “manually” before you understand what parts AI can be useful for (or parts you’re willing to trade-off). For example, this is a really strong one-shot, but there are a lot more improvements I would make (for the sake of purity, I did not iterate on this before posting). Hope to keep posting about these experiments more!
