aakashgupta · x · 2026-11-02
Aakash Gupta deep-dives into using Claude 5.5 series models (Opus 5.5) inside Claude Code as a video editor, producing a short that became his channel's second-best performer at 31K views.
- Workflow: have Claude Code cut a first draft, then give natural-language notes ("cut the weird background sound", "too many black screens", "drop the countdown") and iterate.
- Gotcha: Claude once looped 12 seconds of room tone from his raw recordings into the final cut — real-audio artifacts need manual checking.
- Resources: he published a full tutorial and 32 skills to reproduce the pipeline.
- Cites other demos, like Opus 5.5 making a 15-second motion-graphics showreel at max effort (2.3M views, 17.2K reposts).
