AI videos with Claude Code for beginners: 11 prompts, $0.62

Описание и применение

Автоматизированный процесс создания 101‑секундного видео с помощью Claude Code, OpenAI и Gemini за $0.62 без установки библиотек и видеоредактора.

Задача

Creating AI videos without installing libraries, platforms, or video editors, while keeping costs low.

Результат

The author built a fully automated AI video pipeline in about an hour, producing a 101‑second narrated space story for $0.62, with no manual library installation or video editor required.

Рабочий процесс

• Create an empty folder and start a fresh Claude Code session.
• Generate three API keys (OpenAI, Gemini, and a third if needed).
• Store keys securely (e.g., macOS Keychain).
• Teach Claude Code to generate images with OpenAI GPT‑Image 2.5 by providing API key, docs, and a test prompt.
• Ask Claude Code to create a skill named gpt‑image for future reuse.
• Repeat for a second image model (Nano Banana 2.1) with its API key and docs, creating a nano‑banana skill.
• Generate a test image with each model to compare results.
• Teach Claude Code to generate voices and music using chosen APIs, creating corresponding skills.
• Use FFmpeg skill to edit the generated assets into a 101‑second narrated slideshow.
• Run the full pipeline to produce the final video and record costs in costs.csv.
• Review the output and iterate if needed.

Доказательства

I start in an empty folder with a fresh Claude Code and teach it to make images, voices and music, and to edit them with FFmpeg. At the end it makes a 101-second narrated space story.

We build a slideshow. A short story, a voice reading it, and images that change as the story goes.

It took about an hour of work. No libraries to install by hand, no platforms, no video editor.
