Astra 6 renders a 'time' video entirely in code: every 4K frame editable in layers and keyframes
mckbrando · x · 2026-09-25
A user asked Astra 6 to create a video about "time". Instead of diffusion generation, the model used p5.brush to render the whole piece in code — from the Big Bang through evolution and civilization to a recursive shot of Astra creating the video itself.
Every frame is rendered in 4K via JavaScript, so all visuals remain editable in layers, keyframes and splines. The author argues "coding models > diffusion models", highlighting how code-generated video turns creative work into a fully parameterized, editable artifact.
