Opus 5.5 Video Prompts — Brief Structure, Examples and a Copy-Ready Prompt Library
How do I write an Opus 5.5 video prompt?
Write an Opus 5.5 video prompt as a short production brief: name the purpose, quote the exact on-screen text, list scenes in order, and specify colors and pacing. Choose the duration, aspect ratio and sound in the generator controls as well. For a 15-second video, start with three scenes and one final action. Use code-friendly graphics rather than requests for realistic footage.
Open the video generatorBuild a prompt in three steps
1. Set one purpose and exact copy
Say who the video is for and what they should understand or do. Put headings, button labels, numbers and units in quotes. Avoid asking the model to invent customer results, testimonials or product claims.
2. Give each scene a job
Allocate rough time ranges that fit the chosen length. For 15 seconds, try an opening at 0–4 seconds, a demonstration at 4–11 seconds and a final card at 11–15 seconds. State what enters, moves and remains visible. Leave enough time to read the final message.
3. Constrain the style and review the output
Name a small color palette, typography direction and motion style. Repeat the duration and aspect ratio you selected in the controls. Generate, then check the MP4 against the brief. If a scene is crowded or a label is wrong, simplify the prompt and generate again. Each new generation uses credits.
A useful brief names what must stay exact
For text-led videos, provide the final wording rather than a topic to summarize. For charts, supply the values, labels, units and a source you have checked. Use hex colors when brand color matters. If a claim cannot be verified, remove it before generating; a polished animation does not make a statement true.
Match the prompt to the generator controls
The controls set the output length, format and sound. Asking for two minutes in the prompt does not override the 15, 30 or 60 second choices. Landscape is 1920×1080, portrait is 1080×1920 and square is 1080×1080, all at 30 fps. Select music, uploaded audio, voiceover or silent. With voiceover enabled, describe the language and delivery and keep the spoken script short enough for the selected length.
Remove instructions this workflow cannot fulfill
Attached images are placed, cropped and moved as they are: do not ask this tool to make a photographed person move or talk, preserve a supplied video clip or produce a realistic actor. Video uploads are not supported. For spoken narration, select Voiceover when available and provide a short script. Prefer diagrams, shapes, text and simple illustrations. Three readable scenes are often a better starting brief than many simultaneous animations.
Three prompts to adapt
These are sample briefs, not claims about generated results. Replace the example names and figures with your own verified information, then review the video before publishing.
Create a 15-second 16:9 motion-graphics video for a fictional notes app named "NoteNest". Use a #111827 background, #FB923C accent and large white text. 0–4s: reveal "Capture the idea". 4–11s: draw three note cards that group into a folder, labeled "Write", "Organize", "Find". 11–15s: hold "Meet NoteNest" on screen. Smooth slides, no people or voiceover. Optional soft synthesized music.
Create a silent 15-second 9:16 animation explaining a three-stage publishing workflow. Off-white background, navy text and teal arrows. 0–4s: show a document icon with "Draft". 4–9s: move it to a checkmark labeled "Review". 9–12s: connect to a page icon labeled "Publish". 12–15s: hold all three labels in a vertical stack. Keep generous margins and use no additional text.
Create a silent 15-second 1:1 bar-chart animation. Title: "Sample data — not actual results". Values: A = 20, B = 35, C = 45; unit = items. Use a zero-based axis and label each value exactly. 0–3s: title and axes. 3–10s: bars rise one at a time. 10–15s: hold the complete chart. White background, dark labels, blue bars. Do not add percentages or a growth claim.

30s · 16:9 · music
Produce a 30-second landscape visual explainer called From URL to Pixels. Draw everything as clear diagrams on an off-white background with blue and coral accents. 0–6s: a typed URL sends a request toward a server, which returns a small HTML document. 6–13s: the document unfolds into a DOM tree while a CSS card supplies styles. 13–20s: highlight Layout and arrange labeled boxes into page positions. 20–26s: highlight Paint and Composite as the boxes gain colors and become a finished page. 26–30s: hold a compact summary: Request, Parse, Layout, Paint.

Use a cream background, dark text and blue and orange commit paths. 0–12s: introduce a main branch with commits A and B; show a small project card beside it. 12–26s: create a feature branch from B, add commits C and D, and update the card’s button color. 26–40s: show a pull request card comparing the change, then a checkmark for review. 40–52s: bring the paths together at merge commit M on main, while keeping the earlier history visible. 52–60s: hold Branch, Review, Merge with a small note Simplified example. Keep labels readable and transitions continuous. Light original music, no narration, no real repository data.
54. Pixel neural network
60s · 16:9 · music
Create a 60-second landscape pixel-art explainer called Learning from Examples. Draw an 8-by-8 grid containing a simple handwritten-style digit, three small layers of network nodes and ten output bars. Use a dark purple palette with mint and peach highlights, crisp pixel edges and no photorealistic assets. 0–15s: show the grid feeding signals into the first layer. 15–30s: pass signals through the network and highlight an incorrect output. 30–45s: display an error signal and subtly adjust connection brightness. 45–55s: repeat with a clearer correct output. 55–60s: hold Example, Prediction, Feedback, Update.

55. Abstract geometry reel
30s · 16:9 · music
Make a 30-second landscape abstract motion-design reel with original synthesized music. Use black, violet and luminous cyan. 0–8s: travel slowly through a tunnel of nested rounded rectangles, with careful depth and soft glow. 8–17s: the rectangles break into a flowing field of points that bends around an invisible sphere. 17–24s: the points regroup into three interlocking rings, then a single rotating geometric emblem. 24–30s: slow the movement, reveal the words SHAPE / LIGHT / RHYTHM, and hold a clean final frame. Keep motion smooth and spatially coherent, with no rapid flashing, copyrighted music or external footage.
Opus 5.5 Video FAQ
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.
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."
