What is an Opus 5.5 video?
An Opus 5.5 video is a short animation written by Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic's latest Opus model. Opus 5.5 isn't a video model: it takes text and images in and writes text out. So instead of generating pixels like a diffusion model, it writes the video as code (canvas drawing, typography, 3D scenes and precise timing), and that code is played back and recorded frame by frame into an MP4.
That's why an Opus 5.5 video is so good for motion graphics, product launches, app walkthroughs, explainers and data stories. Every letter is real type, every colour is exactly the one you asked for, your screenshots stay pixel-exact, and changing one scene doesn't reroll the rest of the video.
Making one used to mean setting up Claude, a render script and ffmpeg yourself. Tellcut does it all in your browser: describe the video or add a screenshot, watch the storyboard appear, refine it in chat, and download the MP4.
Opus 5.5 video vs AI video models
Opus 5.5 is great at
Kinetic type, UI and app demos, charts and data stories, logo reveals, product ads from your own images, 3D motion graphics. Anything where text and layout must be exact.
Use a video model for
Live-action scenes, realistic people and faces, camera moves through a photoreal world. Sora, Veo and Seedance paint pixels; Opus 5.5 writes code.
Only Opus can do this
Change one thing and keep the rest. Because the video is code, "make the title bigger" changes the title, not a new random take.

Opus 5.5 video effects you can ask for
You can't ask for an effect you've never seen. Watch each one, then pick it in the studio or copy its wording into your own prompt.
Text
Masked rise
Each letter slides up from behind an invisible line, as if pushed out of the floor.
each letter rises from behind a hidden baseline mask, staggered
Text
Typewriter cursor
Text types itself out with a blinking block cursor. Good for taglines and tech intros.
the line types out character by character in a monospace font with a blinking block cursor
Text
Stretch slide-in
A word shoots in from the side, stretched wide, and snaps back to its normal width.
the word slides in from the right stretched wide and snaps to its normal width
Text
Squash and stretch
Text falls with weight, squashes on impact, then settles. Makes type feel physical.
the word falls from above, squashes on impact and springs back like a heavy object landing
Text
Outline echo
Outlined copies of a word ripple outward behind the solid word. Instant depth.
outlined copies of the word expand outward like ripples behind the solid word
Text
Decode scramble
Random characters flicker and lock into the real word from left to right.
the word resolves from random flickering glyphs into the final text, left to right
Transition
Skewed wipe
A slanted colour bar sweeps across the screen to cut between two scenes.

Change anything, then export
Ask for changes in plain words or pick one shot on the timeline. Compare versions, then download a 1080p MP4.
Opus 5.5 video FAQ
01What is the Opus 5.5 video generator?
Tellcut is an Opus 5.5 video generator and editor. You describe the video you want or add a screenshot, Claude Opus 5.5 plans a storyboard and writes every frame as code, and you refine it in chat and export an MP4, all in your browser.
02Can Claude Opus 5.5 really make videos?
Yes, but not by painting pixels. Opus 5.5 takes text and images in and writes text out, so it writes the animation as code, and that code is played back and recorded frame by frame into an MP4. That's why text stays sharp, brand colours stay exact, and you can change one thing without regenerating the whole video.
03Do I need a Claude subscription or API key?
No. We run Claude Opus 5.5 for you. Pick a plan, describe the video, and download the MP4.
04What kinds of Opus 5.5 videos can I make?
Product launch videos, app walkthroughs, mobile game ads, motion design showreels, logo reveals, explainers, data stories, 9:16 social ads and kinetic typography. You can also start from your own screenshot or product image and make parts of it move.
05What can't an Opus 5.5 video do?
Live-action footage, realistic people, faces and bodies moving, or anything photoreal. For those, native video models like Sora, Veo or Seedance are the right tool. Opus 5.5 is a motion designer that writes code: type, UI, charts, shapes, 3D scenes and your own images.
06How long does an Opus 5.5 video take to make?
Usually a minute or two. The storyboard appears within seconds, then Opus 5.5 writes the code for each scene. Changes by chat usually take under half a minute.
07How long can an Opus 5.5 video be?
Up to 30 seconds per video, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, exported as a 1080p MP4.
08Is Tellcut made by Anthropic?
No. Tellcut is an independent product built on Claude Opus 5.5. When newer Claude models ship, we'll add them.
