AI agents for video, 3D and creative production
For people who make videos, product spots, music visuals and 3D scenes with coding agents: code-driven video that renders the same way every time, agent edits of raw footage, headless Blender, and the checks that keep a render honest.
Animate a full music video to the beat with an agent-written engine
A creator had Opus 5.5 write a 22,000-line Python engine that times every one of 4,320 frames to a song, getting exact beat sync for about $187 in total AI costs after a video model kept landing seconds late.
App Store preview videos drawn frame by frame in code
Instead of recording the simulator, an iOS developer had Claude Code build a renderer that draws each frame of the App Store preview from the app's own screens, adds synthesized music and encodes it with ffmpeg.
Turn a folder of raw footage into a finished edit with an agent skill
video-use is an open-source skill from the Browser Use team. You drop raw takes in a folder and ask Claude Code or Codex for an edit. It cuts filler words, grades color, adds subtitles and animated overlays, then checks its own render before showing you.
Render repeatable videos from HTML instead of a video model
A hands-on test of HyperFrames, an open-source tool that turns timed HTML pages into MP4 with headless Chrome and ffmpeg. Same input gives the same video, so changes are code edits instead of another roll of the dice. The tester also wrote down the gotchas.
Make a 3D product ad with Claude Code and headless Blender on an old GPU
A 15-second, four-shot product spot rendered on a 2016 graphics card. Claude Code wrote the whole Blender scene in Python, Blender rendered it with no window open, and ffmpeg put the shots, music and overlay together. The builder posted the render times and what broke.
Video Production with AI Agents: lanes, prompts, skills and render checks
A Markdown playbook for making finished videos with Claude Code or Codex: pick a lane (draw in code, edit footage, script 3D or generate), plan with a shot list, render test frames, and make the agent check every render before you see it.
Check every render before you trust it (free sample)
One rule, one skill and four ffmpeg commands that make Claude Code or Codex look at its own video output (frames, cuts, loudness, captions) before it tells you it is done.
Consistent Asset Sets: one approved reference, style files and review sheets for AI-made art, props and cards
A small production system for making many AI-made assets that belong together: approve one reference, write STYLE.md from it, request only deltas, build props as code, and review every batch on one sheet with a ten-point check.
Approve one, then reference it: the reference lock method (free sample)
The five-step method for keeping AI-made asset sets consistent: perfect one piece, lock it, attach it to every request, ask only for what changes and review the batch together.
Build your own render tool for a brand look with Claude Code
A designer used Claude Code to build a browser tool for liquid 3D shapes, with a WebGL2 path tracer and denoising, that exports 4K loops. The point: designers can now make the tool, not only the image.
Content System Kit: run a content engine with AI agents and keep a human on the publish button
A prompt pack and method for founders, small teams and agencies. Audience filters, one owned format, a 90-post test with review rules set in advance, a weekly batch loop with one approval gate, an editor queue with a rights check, transcript-first cleanup, a packaging watch on public data only, teardown without replication, a craft seat map, a cadence plan, an engagement honesty audit, a failure table, a worked example, a rules block and 14 prompts.
The weekly batch loop and the gate checklist (free sample)
The one rule for content agents, the four-step weekly batch loop, the account access rule, the five-line gate checklist and a check prompt.
Questions
Do I need a video model for these?
No. Most entries use code to draw or edit video (HTML scenes, Blender scripts, ffmpeg). Where a generative model is used, the listing names it.
Can a coding agent edit my own footage?
Yes. The agent reads transcripts and frame data, proposes a cut, and ffmpeg does the editing. You approve the plan before anything renders.
Can I sell videos I make this way?
Usually, but check the license of every model, voice, music track, font and asset you used. The entries flag where that matters.
