LaunchVideo open-sources an Opus 5.5 agent that writes product videos as code and renders an MP4 in about four minutes
Hacker News·medium signal
launchvideo.io (293 HN points) takes a URL or product description. Claude Opus 5.5 writes the film as code, and a serverless agent renders it deterministically at 1080p with Playwright, Chromium and ffmpeg in microVMs. The page puts the cost at roughly 90K input and 15K output tokens per video. The full agent, renderer and web app are in diggerhq/shipvideo, created 2026-09-24 and at 88 stars, so this is a very early launch.
