How to Make a Music Video with Claude Code (and a Free Local AI)
Claude Code can draw a whole music video in code: p5.js brush strokes, headless Chrome, ffmpeg, no video model. We gave Claude and our free local agent Hermes (Qwen 3.6 27B on one RTX 5090) the same prompt and the same song. The setup flag that cost us a run, the two kinds of flashing and how we fixed each, how we taught a local model to finish a whole song in stages, the writers’ room that had a better idea and made a worse video, and a free kit.
