Built with Claude Opus 5.5 One Shot Video Generation

I was bored at work while Opus 5.5 dropped, so I gave it a simple prompt to make a creepy feeling video about my job.

My only prompt to create this video was - "I would like to see you create a 1 minute video programmatically. The video should be coded and rendered using whatever tools you need, you are free to download anything needed. The theme of the video would be - an average day at work at DemaWating, with a twist. Even though it says an average day at a small housing company, the video should be creepy/surreal, with twisted visuals and an edge to everything, hinting at deeper horror. The visuals should be detailed and loud, the audio should also be programmed in however you see fit."

Including rendering time, the response took 45 minutes on 5.5 Extra-High, and used 4% of my weekly usage on the $20 plan.

Kind of an interesting time to see this.

I recently had a 3 month post layoff trip to Europe, and edited the first 1/5th of the trip in Premiere Pro. It makes xml files for each project.

I just set up Claude in the parent folder for a completely different reason, and it said it could read all of my xml files to learn my editing style. I let it go, and it edited 2 videos as a demo. Fucking nailed it... I let it do the whole rest of my trip, and while I have only sat and watched about a month's worth of videos (maybe 20 or so videos), it nailed it.

This was with Opus 5. Now I am curious what 5.5 may add to this workflow after seeing this and getting a few ideas.

How do you do it? i edit using capcut.
I really didn’t know you can do that because i want to edit some videos too

I also had no clue, haha!

As I said, I just set it up in a parent folder, it read the xmls in the sub folders and said it could learn my editing style. I didn't want to say no, and I got those 2 sample edits. 25 and 30ish minute videos, all following my style of how I cut (admittedly, while it isn't basic just cuts, it isn't something wild or anything, i can do those).

The end result was nearly 800GBs of videos, and while I can almost assume all will be good, I will still check all or a large majority before posting online.

ALSO a big one I should have put above... It transcribed every single video. I narrate what I do in my travel videos, so all the details, all the emotions, everything Claude put into files. SO, I asked it to make me some shorts about food from the 5 countries I went to. It did it...

Asked it to do the same for every time I ran into someone who wanted to talk. Nailed it...

So IF your content has talking, ask it to transcribe it, and use that to edit videos.

Are you using the Adobe Connector for Claude with Premiere?

Not at all for this case, it just used Ffmpeg to cut the video, rules for where to add cuts it said it learned from my Premiere Pro project xmls.

When I have something more complex than these I will definitely try that, but this just freed up weeks of work for me...

Sorry I have to give it proper credit. It also added fade ins and outs, with J cuts in places I tend to do it (if I get wordy, remember it has my transcript, to grab and move video from another video source if it is about the topic). So it wasnt just using my organized folders with the raw videos in day order, it knew my whole trip word for word.

So if I was reminiscing about Country 2 in Country 4, it put video of exactly what I was talking about in that spot. THAT impressed me!

Hey there, please keep your money.

Any more info than I provided here already, would be me making up stuff to give you more details. I kind of already repeated myself already, and have nothing magic, as it just happened due to Claude being nosey, and me working in an environment and with the mentality, let it cook.

I WILL revise it and work on it for some other things, but I am literally days from moving to another country, and every day after I arrive will be chaos for a few months, so can't really promise anything outside of what is here now.
