News outlets plot on a spin chart in a vertical launch ad

I made a launch ad for @grouped_news in an hour with Opus 5.5 and Remotion, and I never opened a video editor. I added the voiceover and music with ElevenLabs.

The ad is a React app. It imports my site's CSS tokens and fonts, so it uses the same design system as the site.

I didn't review it by watching renders. It rendered about 20 stills and tiled them into one contact sheet, so I could check a whole cut at a glance before rendering any video.

Captions are measured in the real font and shrink to fit the 9:16 safe zone, so nothing hides under TikTok's buttons. Every cut lands on a 120 BPM grid, which made the music easy to line up.

It's one codebase, so the 30s, 15s and 6s cuts in 16:9 and 9:16 are each a different list of scenes.

My part was saying what felt wrong.

Make one like this

1. 1 · Copy the prompt

   Use the prompt above as your starting point, then change the subject and the style.

2. 2 · Direct it like an editor

   Ask for one self-contained HTML file on a fixed 1920×1080 stage, link this video as the reference, and send two or three rounds of specific notes.

3. 3 · Render it to MP4

   Screen-record a short piece, or capture it frame by frame for exact timing. How →
