GPT-6 Astra goes from Blender scene to edited 30s video in 110 minutes
dotey · x · 2026-09-06
A creator ran a full end-to-end test with GPT-6 Astra medium(fast): build a detailed "Monkey King raids the Peach Garden" scene in Blender, then shoot and edit a video — all in about 110 minutes on a Mac M4 Max / 128GB.
- Blender modeling: 9 peach trees, clouds, marble platform, hexagonal pavilion, plus a peach-stealing Wukong and startled fairies; 6 iterations, 18 progress renders kept
- Cinematics: designed multi-camera moves, rendered a 1-minute video with titles, and called MiniMax to generate original music
- Direct JianYing editing: Astra itself operated the video editor — reordering shots, variable-speed cuts, 6 subtitle gags, music fade-out and thumbnail — exporting a 30-second cut; even creative choices like opening on a Wukong close-up were its own
The human only wrote prompts and picked directions. The demo showcases an agent directly driving professional creative software end to end.
