Site turns product URL into launch video in about 4 minutes
The page says Claude Opus 5.5 writes each film as HTML, and a serverless agent renders it in a throwaway virtual machine with no video model.
A page called launchvideo.io takes a product URL or a plain description and returns an MP4 file. Its maker says each film takes about four minutes and roughly 100,000 tokens to produce, and that Claude Opus 5.5 writes the film itself.
The site says the model runs through OpenComputer's model gateway, at roughly 90,000 input and 15,000 output tokens a run, most of that the HTML itself. It posted five examples, including films for Nvidia and Linear, and says each is a single run with no edits.
The page says no video model takes part. The agent writes an HTML animation, and the renderer then replaces the page's clocks with a virtual clock, so every frame becomes a deterministic seek. Output is 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second, according to the page, with JPEG frames piped into libx264.
Each job runs in a fresh microVM on Amazon Linux 2023, the page says, on arm64 with four vCPUs, 8GB of memory and Node 22. The first tool call installs headless Chromium and a static ffmpeg build, which takes about a minute, and the run then throws the machine away.
The whole product is one agent file and three tools, and the code sits in the repository diggerhq/shipvideo. A Hacker News post pointing at the site had 134 points and 92 comments by early Friday. Several commenters disliked the format, and one said his own tool produced better videos. The timing and token counts are the maker's own, and nobody else has tested them.
