Quick start

1. 1

   Install Claude Code and switch the model to Opus 5.5

2. 2

   Prepare Node.js, Chrome and FFmpeg on your machine for rendering MP4

3. 3

   Create an empty directory and paste one of the prompts from the README into Claude Code

4. 4

   Wait for Claude to write the code, render and self-check to get the MP4

Things to know

• !Opus 5.5 does not output video files directly; it generates video by writing code, so realistic live-action footage is not its strength.
• !Rendering requires Node.js, Chrome and FFmpeg, plus a Claude Code subscription with Opus 5.5 access.
• !The repository is a collection of prompts and case links rather than installable software, and it has no license listed.

A curated collection of 18 full prompts and 54 public cases showing how Claude Opus 5.5 generates videos by writing code. Claude Opus 5.5 does not output video files directly. Instead it writes code such as HTML Canvas, p5.js, Three.js, Remotion or Manim scripts that draw each frame, which a headless browser captures and FFmpeg assembles into an MP4. This repository collects prompts and cases from the first week after the model's release, covering motion graphics, line-art and ink animation, science explainers, product launch clips and lyric videos.
