I gave Claude Opus 5.5 an MP3 and a few lines of art direction. It built a 50-shot painted music video entirely in code, with no video or image model

Claude Opus 5.5 generated a 50-shot painted music video from an MP3 and art direction, using only code without video or image models. The final render, created in a software sandbox without a GPU, produced 4,698 frames at 1080p30 over two hours. It resumed rendering twice after sandbox restarts, demonstrating its ability to create complex visual content programmatically.

Unlike other AI video generation methods, this report highlights Claude Opus 5.5's unique ability to create a music video entirely through code, without relying on video or image models.
