Opus 5.5 turned a 5-minute voice note into a 4M-view music video
A 1,700-word voice note fed to Opus 5.5 ran 12 hours with ElevenLabs and a video model to produce a viral music video, plus a 30-minute launch video case.
A 5-minute voice note to Opus 5.5 became a music video watched more times than Los Angeles has people. 4,000,000 f*cking views. You're paying for the exact same model. That voice note was 1,700 words long: A song that already existed. An ElevenLabs key for sound. A video model for the base shots. Then Claude told to redraw it all in code on top. He went to bed. Claude worked 12 hours straight. Tony Dinh went smaller. A year ago he paid ~$1,000+ for a launch video. This time Opus 5.5 made one in under 30 minutes after 3 extra lines: his URL, "use actual product screenshot, logo, assets" and "must have music." Most people copied the 26-word "showreel" prompt and got the same clip as everyone else. The CLAUDE.md I'd use instead is in the first reply. Opus 5.5 can make a 4M-view music video. It still can't make you talk to it for 5 minutes.
