How to make Opus 5.5 videos

What tool do people use to make Opus 5.5 videos?

Short answer

Most people use Claude Code with Remotion, or a web generator. Claude Opus 5.5 writes the animation as code either way; Remotion or the generator renders it into an MP4.

To make Opus 5.5 videos without setting anything up, Opus55Vid is a web generator: one sentence in, a rendered MP4 out.

How do people make the “made with Claude” videos on TikTok?

People make the Opus 5.5 videos on TikTok by asking Claude Opus 5.5 to write the animation as code and then rendering that code into an MP4. Most tutorials use Claude Code with Remotion; others use a web generator that does the whole job from one sentence. Anthropic's Claude Design can build animated prototypes in the browser, but its documented exports (PDF, PPTX, HTML) do not include MP4.

None of these videos is filmed or drawn by a video model. A “made with Claude” video is a small program that describes every word, shape and camera move, and a renderer that plays the program back one frame at a time. If you only want the finished clip, jump to the Opus 5.5 video generator.

How are Opus 5.5 videos made? The code-to-MP4 workflow

Opus 5.5 videos are made in five steps: a prompt, animation code, a preview, frame-by-frame rendering and a final encode. The model never outputs video pixels; Claude models take text and images in and give text out, so the code is the video's source file.

  1. You describe the video: topic, length, format, style.
  2. Claude Opus 5.5 writes the animation in code — typically React with Remotion, or plain HTML in tools such as HeyGen's HyperFrames.
  3. You preview the animation in a browser and ask for fixes.
  4. A headless browser draws every frame of the animation and saves it as an image.
  5. FFmpeg stitches the frames into an MP4.

Claude Opus 5.5 video workflow: the three routes people actually use

There are three working routes to an Opus 5.5 video, and the right one depends on whether you have a Claude plan and whether you are happy to use a terminal.

  • Claude Code + Remotion skills. The most flexible route and the one most tutorials show. You need a Claude plan or API key, Node.js, and the patience to prompt and fix across several rounds, then render locally.
  • Claude Design. Anthropic's own browser tool for designs, prototypes and slides, included in paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise). It needs no install, but Anthropic lists PDF, PPTX, HTML and similar exports, not MP4, so check that it gives you the video file you need.
  • A web generator such as Opus55Vid. No Claude account and nothing to install: you type a sentence, we run Claude Opus 5.5, preview it in your browser and render the MP4. A 15-second video costs 100 credits, about $1.98 on the Starter plan. Your first 15-second video is on us: new accounts get 100 welcome credits after confirming their email (valid 30 days). See pricing.

No Claude plan? The options are laid out in making an Opus 5.5 video without a Claude subscription, and the wider picture is in making videos with Claude.

Why do code-drawn videos stay sharp when AI video text blurs?

Code-drawn videos stay sharp because the text is real type, drawn at full resolution on every frame, not pixels guessed by a diffusion model. A diffusion video model generates the whole image at once, which is why small captions and numbers can smear or change between frames.

An Opus 5.5 animation places each letter, line and chart bar by coordinates, so layouts are exact, shapes stay vector-clean and motion can be timed to a beat. The trade-off: it makes designed motion graphics, not realistic footage of people or places.

What tool do people use to make Opus 5.5 videos?

Most people use Claude Code with Remotion, or a web generator that renders the MP4 for them. Either way, Claude Opus 5.5 writes the animation as code.

How are Opus 5.5 videos made?

Claude Opus 5.5 writes animation code, a headless browser renders each frame, and FFmpeg encodes the frames into an MP4. The model never generates video pixels itself.

Can I make Opus 5.5 videos without coding?

Yes. A web generator such as Opus55Vid writes and renders the code from one sentence. You do not need a Claude account, Node.js or Remotion.

Do I need Claude Code to make an Opus 5.5 video?

Only for the do-it-yourself route. A web generator can produce the video without you setting up Claude Code or a Remotion project.

Do videos made with Opus55Vid have sound?

Yes, sound effects timed to the animation, such as whooshes on transitions and ticks on counters. There is no background music, so add a trending track when you post to TikTok or Reels.

Is Opus55Vid made by Anthropic?

No. Opus55Vid is an independent product and is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Anthropic. It is also not affiliated with Remotion. It uses Anthropic's Claude models to write the animations.
