Opus 5.5's workbench

Opus 5.5's thinking, code and preview checks stream here while your video is made.

These three clips were drawn with code and rendered by the Opus video renderer. Play one, read the prompt behind it and replace the words or actions with your own.

Explain a process

Four stages light up along a line as a prompt becomes an MP4. Try the same 2D animation with the steps of a lesson, order or onboarding flow.

Read the sample prompt
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.

Show a product feature

Watch the Acme Notes search field at eight seconds. A typed word filters the notes and shows what the feature does before the closing button appears.

Read the sample prompt
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".

Animate a headline

Short phrases land on successive beats in a vertical frame. Use this motion graphics prompt for a Reel with a hook, a second line and a closing message.

Read the sample prompt
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.

How to turn text into animation

Compare the product clip above with these three moments. A useful animation brief names what the viewer should see, what moves and what stays on screen long enough to read.

  1. 00:00

    Name the product

    The name Acme Notes appears first. Its tagline gives the viewer a reason to watch the notes organize themselves.

  2. 00:08

    Show the feature working

    The search field types “launch” and the list narrows to one note. Replace the search term and matching result together when you adapt the prompt.

  3. 00:12

    Leave one action on screen

    The product name returns above “Try Acme Notes free”. Choose one action your viewer can take and give the button room to breathe.

Try a different three-scene script

Make a 15-second landscape animation for a notes app. From 0–4s, show three note cards under “Where did I save it?” From 4–10s, slide the cards into groups labelled Work, Ideas and Personal. From 10–15s, type “launch”, reveal the matching note and end on “Find it in one search.” Use cream, dark text and an orange highlight.

Can I make an animation from my own images?

Attach up to 15 JPG, PNG or WebP images, up to 10 MiB each. For a product animation, place the screenshot in a scene, ask for a close-up of one control and specify the caption. Use a clear source image so the labels remain legible.

“Open with my logo from image 1. Place the dashboard from image 2 in the centre. Move closer to the Share button and add the words ‘Invite a teammate’ beneath it.”

What does an animation cost?

Check the eligible credits needed to start and the budget you approve for each length. Voiceover can raise the starting amount. The generator shows the quote for your audio settings before you start.

Length and exportStarting creditsInitial budget in credits
15s · 1080p MP450200
30s · 1080p MP4100300
60s · 1080p MP4200500

The final charge follows actual usage. Unused prepaid credits are returned, failed runs are refunded, and a run pauses if it reaches the approved budget. Free-account exports carry a moving watermark. A paid order unlocks the clean original for the owner.

AI animation generator questions

Can I generate an AI animation for free?

You can watch the samples without an account. To generate your own animation, sign in with at least 50 eligible credits for a 15-second run. Eligible new accounts may receive 3 signup credits, valid for 63 days. The signup gift alone falls below that starting amount.

Can I turn a long document into an animated video?

Paste a short script or a passage within the 4,000-character brief. A single export runs 15, 30 or 60 seconds. For a longer document, pick one point per clip. Article to Video also accepts a public article link.

What format and sound can I use for a Reel?

Choose 9:16 for a vertical Reel, 16:9 for a landscape demo or 1:1 for a square post. The AI animation maker exports a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps. Choose music, uploaded audio, silence or voiceover when available.

Which kinds of 2D animation suit this tool?

Use it as an AI motion graphics generator for diagrams, interface walkthroughs and kinetic text. For a character who has to act, lip-sync or keep the same face across shots, choose a character animation tool with those controls.
