Opus 5.5 Video Generator
An online generator for Opus 5.5 videos. Describe a video and Claude Opus 5.5 storyboards it, writes the animation code and checks its own preview frames while you watch; we render every frame to a 1080p MP4. The same idea as the Opus 5.5 videos on X, without the setup.
- No install or API key
- 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1
- 15 to 60 seconds
- 1080p MP4 with sound
Generator
Logos, product shots, screenshots or photos for Opus to use: up to 15 images, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each. You can also paste or drop them here. Opus looks at every image, which is billed by the tokens it actually uses.
Pay as you go: credits are charged only as the video is made, and a failed video is refunded.

How to Make an Opus 5.5 Video from a Prompt
Write a brief, pick a length and a format, and generate. Claude Opus 5.5 builds the animation in its own sandbox and the MP4 is rendered on our servers.
Step 1: Describe the video
Say what the video is for, what it should show and in what order. Name the product, the colors and the exact words you want on screen, or start from one of the examples.
Step 2: Pick a length and format
Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Then pick 16:9 for YouTube and landing pages, 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 1:1 for feeds, with sound or silent.
Step 3: Watch it build, then download
Opus 5.5's plan, notes and every file it writes stream into the workbench. This takes minutes rather than seconds, depending on the length and the detail of the brief. Then the frames are rendered and you download a 1080p, 30 fps MP4.
Opus 5.5 Video Examples
These four were made the way the generator makes yours: Claude Opus 5.5 wrote each one as code, and the generator's renderer turned that code into a 1080p MP4 with a soundtrack that is also synthesized from code. Each runs 15 seconds; generated videos run 15, 30 or 60. Product names and figures in them, such as Acme Notes, are fictional. The prompt under each video describes it. Copy one to make your own version.
Product launch video
16:9 · 15sPrompt: A launch video for Acme Notes, a note-taking app that tags and organizes notes automatically. Dark background with warm orange accents. Open on the product name and the line "Notes that organize themselves". Then show the app window: three notes type themselves in and each gets a tag. Search for "launch", show "Auto-tagged. Instantly searchable." and end on a button that says "Try Acme Notes free".
Explainer animation
16:9 · 15sPrompt: An explainer titled "How an Opus 5.5 video is made". Four steps light up one after another along a line: Prompt, Code, Frames, MP4. Give each step a small scene (a prompt being typed, code being written, frames filling a grid, a player with sound) and a one-sentence caption. Cream background, orange highlight, serif headings. End on "Prompt in. MP4 out." and opusvideogen.com.
Kinetic typography
9:16 · 15sPrompt: A kinetic typography piece for vertical video with a punchy beat, one phrase per bar, words landing on the beat: "Every frame", "is written", "in code.", then all three lines together with the last one in orange. Then "No camera." and "No timeline.", each struck through, then "Just a prompt." and end on "Opus 5.5 Video". Cream, black and orange, heavy sans-serif type, with a frame counter and a progress bar along the bottom.
Animated data story
1:1 · 15sPrompt: An animated bar chart titled "Weekly active users", January to June: 8.2k, 11.5k, 15.1k, 21.4k, 32.0k, 48.2k. Dark background. Bars grow one per beat and the last bar is orange, while a headline number counts up to 48,200. Then show "+488% in six months", trace a trend line across the bar tops and end on "Up about 43% every month".
What Is an Opus 5.5 Video?
An Opus 5.5 video is a video whose every frame is drawn by code that Claude Opus 5.5 wrote. Opus 5.5 is a language model from Anthropic: it takes text and images in and returns text, so it cannot output a video file. What it can do is write a complete animation program, with scenes, timing, easing and typography, that a renderer turns into frames.
Source for what Opus 5.5 takes in and returns: Anthropic's model overview
The format took off on X in late September 2026, when people began posting motion graphics, launch videos and explainers that Claude had written from a single prompt. Most were made with Claude Code and a renderer such as Remotion or HyperFrames, or by screen-recording an HTML page.
This Opus 5.5 video generator runs the same idea in one page: Claude Opus 5.5 works in an isolated sandbox, where it writes an HTML animation (Canvas, SVG, GSAP, p5.js or three.js) and checks its own preview frames. A headless browser then draws every frame and FFmpeg encodes them into a 1080p MP4.
Can Claude generate videos?
Not as pixels. Claude has no video output, and that includes Opus 5.5. It generates video as code: you ask for a video, it writes the program that draws it, and a renderer turns that program into an MP4. For motion graphics this is an advantage, because text, numbers and brand colors come out exactly as written.
Can Claude generate videos?From prompt to MP4
- 1Prompt: you describe the video in plain words.
- 2Code: Claude Opus 5.5 storyboards the video and writes an animation that can draw any frame of it.
- 3Frames: a headless browser draws 30 frames for every second.
- 4MP4: FFmpeg encodes the frames and your selected soundtrack into a video file.
Opus 5.5 Video Prompts That Work
Opus 5.5 follows a brief the way a motion designer would. The more concrete the brief, the better the video. A good Opus 5.5 video prompt has five parts.
- 01
Purpose
Say what the video is for: a launch post, a feature explainer, an ad, a chart for a report.
- 02
Exact on-screen text
Put the words in quotes. Code-drawn text appears exactly as typed, so this is where you control the message.
- 03
Scenes in order
List three to six beats: the hook, what it does, the proof, the call to action.
- 04
Look
Name the colors (hex codes work), a light or dark background, and the mood: minimal, bold, playful.
- 05
Facts
Give the real numbers, names and URLs. Opus 5.5 is told to use only what is in your brief, so anything you leave out stays out.
Opus 5.5 video prompt template
A [length]-second [type of video] for [product or topic], made for [where it will be posted]. Background [color], accent [color], [mood] style. Scene 1: "[hook text]". Scene 2: show [feature or idea] as [a card, a chart, a diagram]. Scene 3: "[proof or benefit]". End card: "[call to action]".
Opus 5.5 Video vs Veo, Kling, Runway and Seedance
They are different kinds of tools. Video models generate pixels; Opus 5.5 writes code that draws them.
| Compared on | Opus 5.5 video | Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Claude writes an animation program and a renderer turns it into frames | A generative model produces the frames directly |
| Best for | Motion graphics, launch videos, explainers, charts, typography | Realistic people, places, camera moves and physics |
| Text, logos and numbers | Exact: drawn as real text and shapes | Varies by model and prompt: test small text before relying on it |
| Making a change | Edit the brief and generate again; text and numbers stay exactly as written | Regenerate and get a different take |
| Not suited to | Photorealistic footage, real people, natural scenes | Precise layouts, data and long on-screen copy |
If you need a person walking through Tokyo in the rain, use a video model. If you need your product name, your numbers and your interface on screen exactly as written, use Opus 5.5.
Read the full guide: motion graphics vs AI video generatorsOpus 5.5 video generator vs Claude Code with Remotion or HyperFrames
The do-it-yourself route gives you the most control: install Claude Code, add Remotion or HyperFrames, and render with FFmpeg. It needs a Claude plan or an API key and a development setup. This generator needs neither: the brief goes into a text box, Claude Code runs in our sandbox and the rendered MP4 comes back. The trade-off is scope: one prompt makes one video of up to 60 seconds, with synthesized music and effects, optional voiceover and reference voice upload when enabled, and up to 15 attached images such as a logo, product shots or screenshots. Video uploads are not supported.

Opus 5.5 Video FAQ
Answers about Opus 5.5 video generation, prompts, pricing and output.
What is the Opus 5.5 Video Generator?
It is a web tool that turns a text prompt into a short motion-graphics video. Claude Opus 5.5 plans the scenes and writes the animation as code in a sandbox, our servers render every frame, and you download a 1080p MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 at 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
Can Claude Opus 5.5 generate video?
Not directly. Opus 5.5 takes text and images in and returns text, so it has no video output. It generates video by writing code: an animation program that a renderer draws frame by frame and encodes to MP4. That is what this generator does for you.
How do I make a video with Claude Opus 5.5?
Type a brief into the generator on the homepage, choose a length, a format and whether you want sound, and press Generate. You can watch Opus 5.5 plan, code and check the video live; when it is done the MP4 plays in the page, ready to download. Without this tool you would run Claude Code with Remotion or HyperFrames, or screen-record an HTML animation.
Is there a free Opus 5.5 video generator?
The four example videos on the homepage play for free, with no account. Signup gift credits, admin-granted credits, purchased credits and subscription credits can fund your own videos. Starting a 15-second video requires at least 50 eligible credits; longer videos require a larger prepayment, as shown in the generator. Check-in and other reward credits cannot be used for videos. Eligible new accounts may receive 3 sign-up gift credits, subject to signup checks. These sign-up credits expire after 63 days. Videos made before your first purchase carry a small moving watermark.
How much does an Opus 5.5 video cost?
A typical 15-second Opus 5.5 video uses about 40 credits: roughly $2.00 at the Starter plan's credit rate, or $3.04 at the Starter credit pack's rate. You pay for what Opus 5.5 actually uses. Initial prepayment is 50 credits for 15 seconds, 100 for 30 seconds and 200 for 60 seconds; voiceover can require a larger reserve. These are prepayments, not minimum prices. For a 15-second video, more is charged only as the work goes on, within an initial budget of 200 credits. At that limit the video pauses: choose to raise the budget or export the current version. Credits charged ahead and not used come back, and a failed video is refunded in full. Plans start at $9 a month for 180 credits. Credit packs start at $5 for 50 credits, with no subscription. A Trial pack does not guarantee a completed video; actual usage may require more credits.
How long can an Opus 5.5 video be, and at what resolution?
An Opus 5.5 video made here can be 15, 30 or 60 seconds long, rendered at 30 frames per second. Landscape 16:9 is 1920×1080, vertical 9:16 is 1080×1920 and square 1:1 is 1080×1080. For multi-minute videos, use Claude Code with Remotion or HyperFrames instead.
Do the videos have sound?
Yes. Choose music, voiceover, your own uploaded audio or silent. Audio uploads accept MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG up to 10 MB when audio upload is available. The video uses the beginning of the track, cut to the selected 15, 30 or 60 seconds; shorter tracks end in silence. When voiceover is enabled, Seed Audio generates narration with a quiet music bed. Its optional reference voice accepts a 1–30-second clip up to 10 MB, uploaded or recorded in the browser, and signed-in users can save clips for later. Voice generation is included in the video’s credit budget.
Can I add images, like my logo or product photos?
Yes. Attach up to 15 images to a video, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each: pick, paste or drop them under the brief. The browser shrinks each one to at most 1920 pixels on the long side before uploading it. Opus 5.5 looks at every image and builds the animation around them, moving them with pans, crops and transitions; it does not make people in a photo move. Looking at images uses model tokens, billed like the rest of the work by the tokens Opus actually uses, within the video’s credit budget. There is no separate per-image fee.
Is Opus 5.5 better than Veo, Kling or Runway for video?
It is a different kind of tool. Veo, Kling and Runway generate realistic footage as pixels. Opus 5.5 writes code that draws motion graphics, so text, logos, numbers and layouts stay exact. Use a video model for people and real-world scenes, and Opus 5.5 for launch videos, explainers, charts and typography.
What is a good prompt for an Opus 5.5 video?
State the purpose, put the exact on-screen text in quotes, list three to six scenes in order, and name the colors and the mood. For example: "A 15-second launch video for a note-taking app. Dark background, orange accent. Scene 1: the product name. Scene 2: three notes typing themselves into a card. End card: Try it free."
How long does an Opus 5.5 video take to generate?
Minutes rather than seconds: it depends on the length and how detailed the brief is. Opus 5.5 spends most of that time building and checking the animation, and rendering the frames adds a little more. You can close the page and come back: the video keeps going and appears in your recent videos.
What happens to my prompt and my video?
Your prompt and any images you attach are sent to Claude Opus 5.5 so it can plan and code the video; if the prompt links a public web page, that page is read for names, wording and images. The work runs in an isolated sandbox that can only read public web pages and files; it cannot sign in, upload or post anywhere. The prompt, attached images, the work log and the finished MP4 are stored in your account, and only you can open them.
Is this site made by Anthropic?
No. This is an independent tool that uses Claude Opus 5.5 through Anthropic's public API. Claude and Opus are trademarks of Anthropic.
