Can Claude generate videos?

Claude can help make a video by writing animation code. In this generator, Claude Opus 5.5 plans scenes and codes the animation; our renderer turns those frames into a downloadable MP4. You can choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds in landscape, portrait or square format. The workflow suits text, diagrams and motion graphics. It does not generate photorealistic footage.

How to make a video with Claude in the browser

1. Write a concrete brief
Open the generator and describe the audience, exact on-screen words, colors and scene order. For a product explainer, focus on one feature and one call to action. Quoted words and explicit numbers make the brief easier to check.
2. Choose the output and start
Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds, then 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Select synthesized sound or silent output. Sign in and check the credit charge before generating. Claude plans, writes code and checks preview frames while the work log updates on the page.
3. Review the MP4 and download
The server renders the animation at 30 fps. Play the finished MP4 and check spelling, timings and data. Download it when ready. To change the brief, edit the prompt and generate a new video; there is no timeline editor or chat-based revision tool.

What Claude does, and what the renderer does

Claude produces the animation program. It can describe layouts, transitions, typography and a synthesized soundtrack in code. Headless Chromium draws the frames and FFmpeg encodes them as MP4. This explains why a text model can be part of a video workflow without the model itself returning a video file. The browser tool handles that setup for you.

Good fits: product explainers, text and charts

Use a short code-drawn video for a feature introduction, a process diagram, an animated headline or a chart with supplied values. Specify the words and data yourself. Code provides control over layout, but generated work still needs review: check labels, totals, timing and readability before sharing it.

Limits to check before choosing this workflow

This tool does not accept image or video uploads, generate realistic people or camera footage, or add spoken narration. Synthesized music and effects are optional. The longest output is 60 seconds. If your project needs filmed scenes, custom media assets or a longer editable timeline, choose a workflow that supports those inputs. This is an independent tool, not an Anthropic product.

Opus 5.5 Video FAQ

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.

Is there a free Opus 5.5 video generator?

The four example videos on the homepage play for free, with no account. Creating an account is free; generating your own videos requires purchased or subscription credits. Signup and reward credits cannot be used for videos. No sign-up credit bonus is currently advertised; see the credit plans on the pricing page. Videos made before your first purchase carry a small moving watermark.

How much does an Opus 5.5 video cost?

You pay for what Opus 5.5 actually uses. A 15-second video starts at 50 credits, more is charged only as the work goes on, and a 15-second video never costs more than 200 credits; a typical one ends up around 40. 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.

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, if you want it. Opus 5.5 synthesizes a soundtrack from code: a music bed and effects timed to the scenes. There is no voice or narration, and you can choose a silent video instead.
