Solo dev shares 20k-word workflow: Opus 5.5 + Seedance 2.5 for 4 viral product videos
dotey · x · 2026-11-11
Indie developer BaiFu published a 20k-word tutorial on LINUX DO after making 4 product promo videos for Auday that each earned millions of views. After testing every popular video-generation Skill and Remotion template, he found template-based outputs too generic for commercial use.
His validated division of labor:
- Codex: reads the codebase, extracts real UI, runs scripts, aligns audio
- Claude Opus 5.5: handles visual taste, composition and shot editing
- Seedance 2.5: generates realistic live-scene footage with emotion and lighting
- MiniMax: voiceover; Remotion: code-based final assembly
The post walks through iterating from v1 to v51: hooking viewers in the first 5 seconds, picking which of 20 features to showcase, and blending real app UI into AI-generated footage — a reproducible commercial-grade AI video workflow for indie devs.
