In short

What it does: Opus plans scenes, records, animates and edits; it calls Codex for generated images. Storyboard before building.

Agents: Claude, Codex · Category: Content & video

Steps in brief:

  1. Start with the idea and let Opus question you: goal, audience, call to action, where it’s published, length and format.
  2. Give brand context and references; connect Paper or Figma so it can use your logos, fonts and screenshots.
  3. Ask for a storyboard first: what each scene shows, on-screen text, which parts need recordings or generated images, motion and timing, audio. Fix it before building.
