Sixty real videos made with Claude Opus 5.5, each credited to its creator and linked to the original post, with the toolchain they used and, where they published it, the prompt word for word. Opus 5.5 does not draw pixels: every clip here was rendered from code it wrote, or cut together from video models it directed.

Last updated: · Claude Opus 5.5 model & pricing · API docs
Claude Opus 5.5 (model id claude-opus-5-5, released by Anthropic on 22 September 2026) is a language model. Anthropic's documentation lists text and image input and text output only, states that Claude cannot generate or edit images, and offers no video input: an animated GIF is read as its first frame. The videos credited to it are made in one of three ways. It writes animation code (a self-contained HTML page driven by a seek(t) function, Remotion or HyperFrames compositions, Manim scenes, Three.js and WebGL shaders, Blender Python) that a headless browser or renderer turns into frames and FFmpeg encodes into an MP4. It directs video, image and music models through APIs, writing the shot list and every prompt, then edits the results. Or it edits existing footage through FFmpeg, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve. A video billed as "one prompt" is often a brief of several thousand characters, run inside an agent with skills, API keys and hours of autonomous work, so each case below records what the creator actually supplied and what they reported spending. The 60 cases were posted between 22 September and 3 October 2026 and each was checked against the original post. On apimodels.app, Opus 5.5 is $2.40 per 1M input tokens and $12 per 1M output tokens, against Anthropic's $4 / $20 list.

Make a 2-minute sand animation that tells the story of 250 years of U.S. history. Keep it lively, engaging, and tasteful. Add appropriate background music and sound design.
每次一个新的模型出来呢，大家都让它去画 "鹈鹕骑自行车" 来判断这个模型的空间能力，基本上都是用 HTML、SVG 来画动画。当我实在看得都有审美疲劳了，我希望你能画一个最复杂、最精细、最精美的 "鹈鹕骑自行车"的动画视频，你可以用任何的技术，不用着急，画一天都可以。
用你最强的思维和能力，根据对我的了解，自行寻找我可能喜欢的主题，制作一个30s的视频还有互动html，尽可能的展示你的前端能力！
用 web3D 复刻宫崎骏《红猪》日落海面上的经典空战：白绿红涂装战斗机、紫色积云、海面反光、吉卜力运镜，画面写 just breathe.
Prompt not yet retrieved (the author says "Code + prompt below" in the replies). A five-minute film of the morning of Austerlitz, all code: SRTM terrain on a 38 m grid and Natural Earth battle maps; WebGL2 rendering of terrain, sprites, particles, fog, volumetric light and a Kuwahara oil-paint filter; armies and effects written as pure functions of time so any frame renders alone; sound events derived from the picture with distance delay at 343 m/s and panning; offline Kokoro TTS narration; a score and mix built in Python; headless Chromium to FFmpeg in resumable chunks.
No prompt published. A low-poly 3D retelling of the folk tale "The Taoist of Laoshan" made in Claude Code with Opus 5.5, with no written storyboard and no ready-made film skill; the only external asset is the author's cloned voice for narration.
No prompt published. The uploader says it ran for 16 hours, the project folder reached 30 GB, and every shot got its own shader.
Prompt formula
Director brief = the inputs it must ask you for + direction (one style, one accent colour, one typeface, an explicit banned list) + structure (every shot timed on a beat grid) + build contract (resolution, fps, seek(t), renderer, how to check frames) + known gotchas + a start line that asks for the plan before any code
Example: <inputs> Ask me for the app name, three screenshots and a 100 BPM track I hold a licence for. </inputs> <direction> 20 seconds, 1080x1920, one continuous take. Off-white background, one green accent, Inter. Banned: gradients, particle bursts, glows, bouncy easing. </direction> <structure> Eight bars: the name types on; a screenshot rises into a phone; a cursor taps through three screens on the beat; a delivery route draws itself; logo and the line "Fresh beans every Friday". </structure> <build> One HTML file, every style computed inside window.seek(t). Render with Playwright at 60fps, encode with FFmpeg, check one frame per bar first. </build> <start> Ask for the inputs, then show me the bar-by-bar plan before writing any code. </start>
Not as pixels. Anthropic's documentation lists text and image input and text output for its current models and states that Claude cannot generate, produce or edit images. Every video on this page was either rendered from code Opus 5.5 wrote (HTML and Canvas, Remotion, HyperFrames, Manim, Three.js, Blender Python and so on) by a headless browser or renderer plus FFmpeg, or made by video models it directed through an API and then cut together. In a chat window with no shell you get the animation as an HTML page you can open and screen-record; producing an MP4 directly needs an agent environment that can run commands.
No. It has no video input, and an animated GIF is read as its first frame only. The workaround every editing case here uses is to have it extract frames (and transcribe the audio) with FFmpeg and look at those stills. It reviews its own renders the same way.
Some do: the 15-second showreel prompt is a single sentence. Many of the widely shared cases ran on briefs of thousands of characters, with skills installed in advance, API keys for voice, music or video models, and runs of one to twelve hours, sometimes with dozens of review rounds. Costs on these cards are what each creator reported, from about $2 for a 26-second launch clip to around $400 of credits across 33 versions of a product trailer. Every card is marked as an original prompt, our summary of a method the creator described, or a case whose prompt was never published.
For an MP4: an agent that can run commands (Claude Code or a similar tool), Node.js, Playwright or another headless Chromium, and FFmpeg. The UI-motion templates also use Python with numpy to analyse the soundtrack; Manim cases need Manim and LaTeX; Blender cases need Blender; music-video and director cases usually need API keys for voice, music or video models.
For a product clip or a UI animation, start with the single-HTML route or a framework such as Remotion; both are on this page with full prompts. For a lesson, use Manim. For anything with real people, natural motion or physics, let Opus direct a video model and keep a cost gate in the brief. For footage you already shot, use the editing route and expect to make the pacing calls yourself.
$2.40 per 1M input tokens and $12 per 1M output tokens (Anthropic lists $4 / $20), billed per token with failed calls free, through /v1/messages or the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions, so Claude Code and other Anthropic-compatible agents connect with a base URL and a key. Video work is output-heavy: one creator's Blender test wrote about 200K output tokens, roughly $2.40 of output at our rate. Our own single-HTML test through apimodels.app was one call of 31,786 output tokens, billed $0.368, for a 12-second 1280x720 promo. If Opus directs video models, those calls are billed separately per model; Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Kling V3 and Wan 3.0 run under the same key.
The videos belong to their creators. Clips from X play straight from X's own servers, every card links to the original post, and we do not host or re-upload any of them. Prompts are quoted with credit and a link: several authors explicitly invited reuse, others simply published theirs, so check the post before using one commercially. Some cases use third-party music, pay homage to an existing film or show real people, and each of those cards names the source material. If you made one of these and want the card removed or the credit corrected, email us.
