Tester: Opus Finished a Code-Generated Animation in an Hour, vs Three Days by Hand in AE
FuSheng_0306 · x · 2026-10-21
The author benchmarked several models on generating animation via code and says Opus handled the whole pipeline — composition, storyboard, transitions and soundtrack — autonomously in just over an hour. A professional animator colleague estimated that merely recreating it by hand in After Effects would take three days, before counting the harder composition and storyboard work. The author frames traditional crafts as马车夫-style roles being displaced by AI.
